We had an incredible day trip with our two children (6 & 8 yrs old). The Amalfi Coast was breathtaking, with a beautiful whistle stop in Sorrento and an enriching tour in Pompei, which the kids enjoyed as much as the adults. A highlight of the tour was our knowledgeable and engaging tour guide, Antonino from City Wonders; a week later and we're still talking about the stories he shared with us! Julio our bus driver was also great and went out of his way to entertain the kids! We highly recommend doing this tour.

Fantastic experience in Pompeii and Sorrento. Our tour guide Heather, driver Francesco, and the guide at Pompeii Antonio were all very friendly and knowledgeable. Great recommendations on how to spend free time in Sorrento. Pompeii was a lot bigger than we were expecting - the tour was wonderful but you do miss out on quite a few areas simply due to having limited time.

Our guide was Marinela and our driver was Danilo! They were the persons who gave life to our amazing experience in Positano-Amalfi Coast and Pompeii! Both were amazing! Danilo is a great singer :)) and Marinela is such a great teller! Both of them with their specific hospitality guided us through our journey so specific so that we won't miss out a thing! Their energy was fulfilling and the care and safety were top level! Thank you so much and wish you all the best! Ramona&Valeriu I

Bus driver and guides were excellent throughout. We started off in Rome and made our way along the Amalfi Coast towards Sorrento, with a couple of stops on the way for some Limoncello and chocolate tasting while the driver has a break. We had lunch in this beautiful resturaunt in Sorrento overlooking the sea. The only issue I had with this trip is that a couple of travellers on the tour were 30 mins late in coming back to the bus meeting point after lunch, therefore we lost 30 mins in Pompeii, which only gave us 1 hour in Pompeii and it was very rushed as you need more time than an hour to fully experience Pompeii. It's a shame that other travellers can ruin the experience for everyone else by not paying attention to the meet up times states by the guide but it is what it is.

The scenery was amazing, sad the beach was full and closed and we were not able to see it closely. We know that we can fix it but the Italians were rude and not nice at all, they treat bad the tourists like we are the worse.

Tick off 3 of the most beautiful UNESCO World Heritage sites in Italy from your bucket list when you go on this Pompeii, Amalfi Coast, and Positano or Sorrento day trip from Rome. From the start to the end, you’ll be guided by a professional and travel in a comfortable AC vehicle.

A city lost and found in ash

Directly enter the ruins of Pompeii with your priority access tickets. You’ll also get the company of a local guide who'll share stories and the history of this vast archaeological site. Once a thriving and well-functioning city, Pompeii was completely destroyed when the nearby Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD and buried the city under volcanic ash.

You’ll get a chance to witness the carefully preserved ancient villas, theaters, public baths, and even a brothel of this bygone era. Way ahead of its time however, Pompeii’s streets were designed in a modern grid system!

Positano or Sorrento

Ride along the gorgeous coastal roads to the Amalfi Coast. You’ll be astounded by the jaw-dropping beauty of the coastline and villages, perfectly aligned with the seashore.

Continue through the narrow roadways of the mountains and reach the pretty village of Positano. Wander through the streets, appreciating the local artisanal shops and getting an idea of the life and culture there.

At Sorrento, discover hidden pottery shops offering delightful souvenirs. Don’t miss the chance to taste limoncello at a local distillery. Learn the fascinating story behind this golden elixir crafted from local lemons.
