“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…”

Although a lot of the shops were closed in Positano because it was a winter tour. it was still a fascinating place to visit. The coach driver was very skilful negotiating the winding roads. Overall a wonderful day, well organised and well paced. A great way to see Pompeii and Positano.”

3.Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Positano Day Trip from Rome

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6,250 reviews · 13 hours (approx.) · from $101

“I researched Pompei way back in high school over 50 years ago. It was fascinating then and more so now: seeing homes, decor, roads, waste management, restaurants, cart wheel damage to the streets, cats wandering freely begging for a scratch or pat, artisan water available by tap at one location, and picture vantage points...I still love post cards - unless I reverse the lens and put myself in the picture. NO WHEELCHAIRS AT ALL...be prepared to sit while companions do the walking at Pompei. The museum held many more wonders...jewelry, an entombed family, a dog...so, so sad, yet beauty of their last moments...kudos to the man who discovered a way…”

Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Day Trip from Rome with Pizza Lunch

4.Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Day Trip from Rome with Pizza Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6,151 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $90

Spend about 12 hours traveling from central Rome to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius by air-conditioned coach. An official Pompeii guide covers the ruins, then you can add a three-course pizza lunch and choose a crater hike or geologist-led walk. Guides such as Julia, Angela, and Valentina have earned high marks.

“It's a long day! We met at 7.15am and arrived back 13 hours later. Our Pompeii guide was very good and the audio sets meant that you could hear easily. It's a fascinating visit, very worthwhile. The pizza lunch was 3 courses and very good in a pleasant location. Vesuvius was, well, Vesuvius. The geological hike (supposedly quite easy) was in fact 1.5 hours and if your age or mobility hinders you, you can't keep up. 5 people dropped out, including me. My adult son was fine but said there wasn't much that was new to learn. I would've preferred more time at Pompeii instead.”

“A great day out from Rome. Easy to get to the pick up spot and then everything was taken care of. Perhaps we hadn't read the listing well enough but we didn't realise how much was included. The bus tour of Naples was great, and the stop for lunch was exactly what we needed, especially with two kids in tow. Then the tour of Pompeii itself, with a supremely knowledgeable guide. He packed in all the key features, and had kept up to date with all the latest research at the site too. The trip back was easy in the coach and it left us enough time to enjoy the…”
