Itinerary
Pompeii is the most stunning archaeological site on the Italian Peninsula and one of the most visited. The ruins of Pompeii are an open air museum where visitors can go back in time and discover a city that had been buried in ashes until 1748. Visitors experience the city much as it existed more than 2000 years ago.
From Conca dei Marini, guests enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the Amalfi Coast and the island of Capri, along with the best authentic, handmade, and homemade local cuisine.
Amalfi. The gem of Amalfi is the oldest of Italy’s maritime republics. Whitewashed homes dotting the hillside are illuminated by the abundant sunshine that bathes the city. The basilica’s cupola is a reference to the Sicilian-Arabic influence that once dominated the area. For centuries it has been a popular destination due to its natural beauty and ideal climate.

The tour was very smooth , ride was comfortable, our driver alberto was awesome very polite and helpful and our guide at pompeii was also very knowledgeable. The food wqs great and the viwes atbthe restaurant great also
Alberto our driver was simply amazing. Very prompt incommunicative. Very descriptive with information historically as well as what to do and where to go in our free time. The trip to Pompeii was amazing and thank goodness we had a guide as I would never have known where to go as it is massive. The Amalfi coast did not disappoint and the luncheon was delicious and the view was breathtaking.
We had an absolutely wonderful day with Andrea as our tour guide! From the moment we met him, he made us feel less like tourists and more like special guests. It happened to be his birthday, yet he spent the entire day making sure we had the best experience possible. Andrea was knowledgeable, funny, kind, and incredibly helpful. His love for the area and its history made every stop even more meaningful. Exploring Pompeii and all the beautiful sights along the way was unforgettable because of the care and enthusiasm he brought to the tour. A special shout-out to our driver, "Spider-Man," who added so much fun to the day. Andrea and Spider-Man made a fantastic team, and their humor and friendliness made the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations. We feel truly blessed to have shared this experience with them. If you're lucky enough to have Andrea as your guide, you're in for an amazing day. Thank you, Andrea and Spider-Man, for memories we'll treasure forever! — Torrie and Rylee❤️
From the moment I booked my day tour to Pompeii and Amalfi, I felt like I made a new friend in Italy. The communications could not have been more clear or proactive. Our guide Andrea texted us on the morning of our tour to say that he made it to our cruise port early if we wanted to get started, our choice. That turned out to be the best choice ever, since Andrea made sure we were the first into the Pompeii ruins that morning, skipping the line and getting to experience the best of Pompeii without crowds. We were a group of 12 with the youngest being a very quizzical 9-year-old boy. Andrea was extremely patient and knowledgeable, sharing his passion for the place. Our private bus driver was Romualdo, but Andrea called him Spider-Man because he made that bus stick to the walls of the tricky Amalfi Coast cliffs. We felt safe and even experienced Spider-Man getting out of the cab to help a semi truck driver get out of a jam. Andrea brought us to the most amazing lunch overlooking the sea, where our group was treated like old friends with plenty of limoncello “presents”. Our tour ended in Amalfi, where Andrea took us away from the crowds and introduced us to his friends who owned the most beautiful shops. My friends on this trip couldn’t thank me enough for finding Mondo Guide!
Our small group arrived early to find our driver, Franco, waiting and ready to go. Because we left early he made time for a stop in Pompeii to visit the Cathedral, which was beautiful. At the Pompeii ruins we were met by our guide, Mafalda, who provided an upbeat and fast-paced tour. Our lunch was at a very nice restaurant overlooking the sea along the Amalfi Coast, and the food, wine, and views were all excellent. Our final stop in Amalfi was scenic, but a bit crowded. Views on the return trip along the coast were fantastic. Overall, the trip was as advertised with a bonus stop in Pompeii. We would tecommend this excursion.
We had an excellent excursion from Salerno to Positano, Sorrento and Pompeii. Roberto our driver picked us up on time at the spot we were provided the day before and he guided us safely and smoothly through the different destinations. the time at each place was unfortunately limited but Positano and Sorrento are not too big and I am certain we didn’t miss much. We would have liked to spend more time in Pompeii but the cruise schedule didn’t allow it. In any case a successful and memorable shore excursion!
Not many reviews however this is through Mondo tours which is a reputable long standing tour company. We had Fabio as a driver and he was wonderful on the winding roads, kept us safe and no one got carsick. He made it very easy for us to find him as he was waiting right outside of our boat.. Murana was our guide at Pompeii and she was a joy to be around. She was very knowledgeable, but also made it fun. The restaurant was absolutely amazing. The pictures do not give it justice. We skipped the Amalfi town as it was crazy busy today and they were willing to work around our wishes.. I would highly recommend. We are a family of four traveling with a 17 and 20 year-old. Suitable for most ages that would be interested in these kinds of activities.
My parents and I really enjoyed this tour! It was a great combination. We had a great tour of Pompeii with Paola who is passionate and knowledgeable. She was really mindful of our time to get back to the cruise ship, while ensuring we got to see some of the must-sees of the site. We also really enjoyed our free time in Amalfi and our lunch with a view was excellent! Our driver Eduardo was very professional and personable, and did an amazing job on those curves. We’d definitely recommend this tour to others!
Fabio was excellent driver and Manuela was a wonderful guide at Pompeii I would recommend - lunch was good and view outstanding
Pompeii tour was great - rest was very misleading. Description of book excursion stated hydrofoil boat ride and showed photos of such. Tour operator states that was a mistake by Viator. So you basically get a cab ride around the island… you pay extra to enter Pompeii… you pay extra for lunch.
Dear Steven, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Pompeii guided tour, as it is truly one of the most fascinating archaeological experiences in Italy and one of the highlights of this excursion. We would also like to clarify a few important details for future travelers reading this review. The experience booked and operated was the “Pompeii and Amalfi Coast Shared or Private Tour – Optional Lunch,” exactly as confirmed in the tour title, itinerary, inclusions, tour stops, and final booking voucher received before the tour date. The day includes transportation along the spectacular Amalfi Coast, scenic stops, free time, and a professionally guided visit of Pompeii with an expert archaeologist. This experience does not include Capri or hydrofoil transportation. Unfortunately, Viator mistakenly displayed an incorrect overview paragraph referencing Capri, which may understandably have created confusion. As soon as this issue came to our attention, we immediately requested that the incorrect information be corrected to avoid future misunderstandings. However, aside from that incorrect overview section, all operational details throughout the listing — including the itinerary, duration, inclusions, exclusions, and confirmation voucher — clearly described the correct tour experience. We would also like to note that Pompeii entrance fees and the optional lunch experience are clearly indicated as optional extras prior to booking confirmation. The lunch itself is designed as an authentic Amalfi Coast culinary experience, featuring traditional local specialties served in one of the most scenic coastal settings in Southern Italy. Despite the misunderstanding caused by the incorrect Viator overview, the tour delivered fully matched the confirmed itinerary and services booked. For future guests considering this experience, this tour is specifically designed for travelers who want to experience two of Southern Italy’s most iconic destinations in one unforgettable day — the extraordinary ruins of Pompeii and the breathtaking beauty of the Amalfi Coast. From dramatic coastal views and charming seaside villages to expert archaeological storytelling and comfortable transportation directly from the port, this experience continues to be one of the most popular and appreciated shore excursions for cruise travelers visiting Salerno. We sincerely appreciate all feedback, as guest satisfaction and transparency remain extremely important to us, and we thank you again for visiting Italy with us. Kind regards, Mondo Guide Team
