★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 7,031 reviews · 12 - 13 hours · from $79Our pick

Rome to Pompeii, Amalfi Coast, and Sorrento in one day. Skip-the-line ruins tour, scenic drive, and limoncello tasting.

“My partner and I went on this trip yesterday. We had Laura as our guide and we cannot express enough how fantastic she was. The details on different things she gave on the trip down to Pompeii, as well as throughout was very informative with little bits of humour! Very clear directions on meeting points and timings. Our driver Gianni is a pro. He navigated some pretty tight looking spots with ease. Once at Pompeii we met with our guide for the site - Lilia. Again, information was amazing, really knew what she was talking about. Limoncello tasting was brilliant. On our way back, we got stuck in standstill traffic…”

“The place was great although the trip there was a little long at 3 hrs each way. The local guide in Pompeii started off on a good note but when it started to rain quite heavily at one stage, he insisted on continuing the walk in the rain. When most of the participants took shelter under some of the ruins, he got upset and decided to end the tour. He led us back to the museum area and gave us some instructions to return to the exit ourselves. He also forgot to pick up some of the other participants that were left behind.I felt that it was a very bad…”

“Sites and guide were amazing. I was not impressed with lack of communication at the pick up point in Rome. We were all standing around not knowing what was happening. Lady turned up showing us paper and asking if we could see our names. Then just left us standing having to figure out for ourselves that we were getting on the bus. Driver did not say a word to the passengers the whole trip to Tivoli. I think it would have been nice to be greeted and explained to that the bus would meet our guide in Tivoli instead of the confusion created by no communication at all. Guide was…”

“We took this trip as a group, three of us. A family with a baby also rode, and the baby was clearly experiencing some extreme distress- my daughter suffers from chronic headaches; that can often be debilitating- and when we reached out to the tour guide for options to get to Pompeii or even back to Rome (where the tour started) he informed us there were no options, that the baby could not sit in the front of the bus because of their insurance (which I could not understand, why could they not sit in the seats that were not directly up front, but still closer to the front, so…”

“Fun experience! Everything was smooth- very personable guides with great knowledge and communication skills. We had a very nice lunch and then had ample time in Pompeii with the guide showing us the highlights and excellent information. The coach was very comfortable and made a stop each way for bathroom breaks. I had considered booking my own train and guide to save a little money but this was not much more and everything was taken care of so I was very glad I chose this tour. Also included a drive through Naples and stopped overlooking Mt Vesuvius and the coast- got a good feel for the city and some history…”
