From Rome: Pompeii, Amalfi Coast, and Sorrento Day Trip

1.Pompeii, Amalfi Coast, and Sorrento Day Trip

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

You’ll travel by air-conditioned coach from Rome to Pompeii, where an archaeologist leads a 90-minute tour through streets, homes, and public buildings preserved by Vesuvius. Then enjoy coastal views, two hours in Sorrento, and a limoncello tasting. Guides such as Natascia, Laura, Marius, and Barbara keep the long day organized and lively.

“This was a really nice trip, pompeii in particular was very interesting. Our main guide was natasia, she was excellent, lots of fun facts and stories. Our driver was Danilla and he was also excellent especially along the coastal roads. I’m not sure the trip to the lemoncello factory was needed. They didn’t show it being made or anything it was really just a shop but other than that I enjoyed the tour”

The ruins and the beach were very beautiful.”

It’s not easy to manage a large group of guests from around the world across a 15-hour day of travelling on a tight schedule, but Heather is a natural and remained engaging, entertaining, warm, and informative throughout. Honestly, Heather’s personable nature absolutely made the trip! It was a lovely day and well worth the hours of travelling to experience the beautiful Positano and Amalfi Coast. Unless you’re out all day in Rome, then the time you spend travelling to these beautiful locations…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,932 reviews · 13 hours (approx.) · from $240

Travel from Rome to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast on a 13-hour English-language day trip. An archaeologist leads the Pompeii visit, then you get coastal views and free time in Positano from April to October, or Sorrento in the low season.

“This was fun! I mostly wanted to at least spend a little time in amalfi, but my family wanted history, so this was the perfect mix of two. Loved how we were lead around d Pompeii by an archaeologist and got to see the highlights instead of trying to figure out what to see on our own. Chiara was helpful in letting us know the schedule for the day and highlights in Sorrento.”

“The Pompeii portion of the tour was great and the Pompeii guide, Fabio, was really the best guide of the 4 tours we took in Italy this trip. What a fascinating city, with remarkable preservation. Fabio shared a lot of facts with us during the tour, including how archeologists have created casts of the victim's remains, how bread was actually recovered from ovens, how roads and sidewalks, and plumbing were designed and built. Sorrento was interesting, and my family had fun wandering the streets visiting shops. We left Rome at 750am and returned about 830pm.
