Pompeii and Amalfi Coast Private Day Trip with Pick Up
Description
The best way to visit Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast is traveling in a comfortable car, with an English speaking driver, born and raised in the area, so you'll really enjoy both the culture of Pompeii and the beauty of this breathtaking place...and this is what you are booking! There's the option with professional tour guide and entrance fees included at Pompeii On the first Sunday of each month the entrance at the Pompeii ruins is free and we can’t reserve tickets in advance, they must be bought on spot and there will be probably a long line and the possibility to don’t find tickets available. In that case you’ll be able to visit Herculaneum that normally is less crowded.
Tour Options
Itinerary
Visit of ancient Pompeii ruins
Positano, a tiered village built onto the side of the cliffs with a pebble beachfront and steep, narrow streets lined with boutiques and cafes.
A great place on the Amalfi Coast
Furore is a typical town on the Amalfi Coast, particularly known for its fjord. The latter consists of a striking recess of the sea, located on the way out of an overhanging valley.
About 1 hour drive from Positano we will arrive in Amalfi, visiting the iconic multi-colored 9th-century Arab-Norman Sant'Andrea cathedral or browsing the rows of shops along the town's side-streets. Between the 9th and 11th centuries, it was the seat of a powerful maritime republic.
You can decide to visit Ravello instead Amalfi

Gianluca was an amazing tour guide and driver. And Andrew gave us a great historic overview and tour of Pompeii. Pompeii is definitely not for those using canes to ambulate however. Some of our party had to sit out that portion.
Brilliant tour, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Our driver Rafelle was extremely pleasant and ensured we enjoyed our day. Would certainly recommend paying for the private tour
Jean Luca was an amazing guide! He was so attentive, an excellent driver and so knowledgeable. He made us feel comfortable and safe. 100% recommend him.
We were picked up at the port in a very clean vehicle. Our driver was so friendly and accommodating. He recommended that we go to Pompeii later in the day to avoid the bigger crowds. We loved visiting Ravello. Claudia our tour guide in Pompeii was so nice and gave us so much interesting information about this amazing site. I would highly recommend this tour and tour company!
Outstanding driver for the day and excellent Pompei guide; after the Pompei tour, driver took us to a vineyard/olive orchard/citrus orchard/ vegetable garden for a tour and a lunch tasting. All foods and wines were from the farm and the entire lunch was farm to table. Finished with an excellent local Limoncello. Then off to Revalo and Almalfi; perfect 8 hour tour
Had a private transfer from Naples to Pompeii and around the Sorrento/Amalfi coast. Our driver was exceptional. Took us to a lunch spot that will be remembered forever and then onto numerous spots to peruse at our own leisure. Never felt rushed or uncomfortable. Cannot recommend Gianluca highly enough. People like this make holidays the experience you hope it will be. No instagram/ no bragging just enjoying family and meeting people we don’t need to post about except to appreciate them and their service.
Our day included a stop in Positano on the Amalfi coast, a local ceramic store and a guided tour of Pompeii. Overall, it was a fantastic day and we hope to return with more than a day to see more of both Pompeii and the Amalfi coast. We drove to Positano first which was about an hour drive and not crowded in the morning. By the time we walked back up the pedistrian street at about 11 in was getting crowded. We had hoped to stop in Amalfi for lunch but the traffic was bad, so we decided to head straight to Pompeii. Our one suggestion is to specify when you want to see Pompeii. (You can get an admission time for 9 am or 1pm.) We did not, so ended up with a 1pm ticket. It was a bit hot and I can't imagine how much hotter it would be in the summer, so that is one consideration. Also, if we had gone in the morning, we might have spent more time on the coast. We were on a cruise, so had to be back to our ship by 5pm which made us a bit cautious. Our drive, Alessandro was very friendly, a great driver and shared details about the area as we drove. Our guide at Pompeii, Claudia, was amazing...knew so much about Pompeii! I can't imagine doing those ruins on our own. A guide adds so much.
Overall, we had a positive experience. Andrea was a good guide and shared a lot of helpful information with us. We were so glad we pre purchased tickets to Pompeii and had Ramello to show us the highlights. He was phenomenal. Our only frustration was that the actual trip was different from the itinerary. We specifically booked this tour to see Pompeii, Positano, and Amalfi. However, after Pompeii (we were there for the scheduled 2 hours), we were told we had to choose between Ravello and Amalfi or Positano and Sorrento. We were happy with our choice and Andrea was correct that we did not have time to do both Amalfi and Positano, but I wish we would’ve known ahead of time. I would have most likely booked a different tour.
This was an amazing experience. We got to see the Amalfi coast and Pompeii. Our driver Gianluca was as awesome. He made the trip. He was funny, informative and just perfect. He helped us with recommendations and in getting our Pompeii tickets. He also got us an amazing tour guide in Pompeii which was not costly and it made that part of the trip. Highly recommend this tour and Gianluca.
This tour was awesome. Our driver was Gianluca and he made the whole trip. He was so nice and helpful. He was domaines things during the drive. We got to see the Amalfi coast and then Pompeii. He also hooked us up with a tour guide in Pompeii who was amazing. He was so funny, knowledgeable and took us to places away from the crowds. He also took pics of our group along the way. This was the best tour of our trip. Highly recommended. The downside was I did not get my Viator rewards with this booking. Although this had nothing to do with Gianluca or the Pompeii guide.
