Such an awesome trip. No Way would I ever want to drive into Positano! Those roads are crazy. Marco was awesome at it and was super friendly and could not have been better. Pompei guide was the best. It was many times better than I thought it would be. Book this!
Our driver Marco was great and we enjoyed this trip in a van vs a bus which seemed much easier to navigate and better suited to our schedule.
We had a wonderful tour of Pompeii and Positano fron Rome with Marco. Marco was a wonderful guide and a very humble and courteous person. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great experience.
This was an amazing experience. Marco was our driver and he was fantastic!! I enjoyed the itinerary created for us. Going to Pompeii, limoncello tasting in Sorrento, and exploring Positano. Marco was considerate of bathroom breaks and meals, taking us to a delicious restaurant for lunch after touring Pompeii. I have to note, that I get EXTREMELY car sick, the road to Positano is very windy, but Marco drove so smoothly that I made the whole trip without getting nauseous!
We really enjoyed the semi-private excursion to Pompeii and Positano. Our driver, Marco, was very nice, patient and informative. His van was clean and he drove very safely. The Pompeii tour and guide were equally excellent. It was a wonderful day.
What a great day! It was a long drive - but so worth it! Our driver, Francesco, was amazing. Very attentive to us & a great steward.
Thank you for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure taking care of your experience and we hope to see you again on your next trip to Italy.
Fantastic tour! The vehicle was top-of-the-line, spacious, and very clean. The driver was extremely polite and helpful with all our needs, making the trip to the Pompeii ruins absolutely relaxing. Great value for money. Well-deserved five stars!"

We booked the Pompeii and Positano Day Trip from Rome with Guided Tour and it exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, seamless, and truly memorable. The transportation was comfortable and punctual, making what could be a long day feel relaxed and enjoyable. Our driver was professional and courteous, and the entire logistics of the day were handled flawlessly. The guided tour of Pompeii was outstanding. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history of the site. They brought the ancient city to life with fascinating details and stories that you simply would not get exploring on your own. After Pompeii, visiting Positano was the perfect contrast — breathtaking coastal views, charming streets, and just enough free time to explore, shop, and take stunning photos. It felt like stepping into a postcard. This tour is the ideal combination of history, culture, and natural beauty, all in one perfectly curated day. If you are visiting Rome and want to experience something truly special beyond the city, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended — we would book it again without hesitation!
