The Amalfi coast was amazing and Pompeii fascinating, everything was on time and the van was very comfortable. Paolo the driver did a great job driving us up and down the mountain in narrow, twisty roads - a braver man me. Would highly recommend this tour

Itinerary
This panoramic stop in Meta allows you to take pictures and have a memory of picturesque Sorrento! Meta rises about 111 meters above sea level and covers an area of about 2.5 km2, which include both coastal areas, with over 800 meters of coastline, and mountainous areas, with the hamlet of Alberi, Monte Vico Alvano in the South East, 642 meters, and part of the Camaldoli Mountains.
The Li Galli islands make up a tiny archipelago between Capri and Positano, one of the most evocative places not only in Campania, but throughout the Mediterranean. Three islands form the archipelago, Gallo Lungo, La Rotonda and La Castelluccia, and together they integrate an extremely suggestive marine protected area.
Positano is perhaps a unique place in the world! It is a jewel of spontaneous architecture, set on the rock overlooking the sea. Clusters of colorful houses, sometimes cubic in appearance, are built on often very steep steps, which descend to the beach, connected by alleys and long staircases.
Legend has it that in its sea lived the mythical Sirens who tempted Ulysses with a melodious song. And even today to go on that sea - with blue and green reflections, in a thousand different shades depending on the play of the sun - you can imagine that the waves emerge - beautiful and persuasive - the Mermaids. But maybe Sorrento is a Mermaid that captivates and enchants with the scents of lemon and orange trees, with olive trees with dark twisted trunks and silver leaves that move slowly, with a slight sound, in the wind coming from the sea, with rocks born from the distant fury of a volcano.
Pompeii is a town in Campania, located in the Gulf of Naples and on the slopes of the volcano Vesuvius. It is a city with an ancient origin: it was born as an Oscan settlement, was later inhabited by the Samnites and then, starting from the first century BC.C., conquered by the Romans. City buried by the Eruption of Vesuvius. Today it is known as the city where there is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. The Roman city was in fact buried by lava following the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.C. Lava and ash were a sort of cover that allowed the city to maintain itself over the centuries and to be protected from the elements; for this reason the city remained intact and can be visited today. Note: The remaining time is for the round trip and the time spent between attractions.

We did a full day tour with Ciro and went to Pompeii, Sorrento and Positano. Ciro and the admin team were amazing to work with. Highly recommend and will use again on our next trip!
This excursion was by far the best on our 10 day Mediterranean cruise. We went to Sorennto, Positano, and Pompeii. This was a private tour for 4 and worth every penny. First of all the operator of the company was Davide who was in constant communication with me which is key. Some of the tour operators never reach out to you and you’re left guessing if they are going to show up when you get off the cruise ship. He also set up a tour guide for our group in Pompeii and the timing in meeting our guide was spot on. We did a 2 hour private guided tour in Pompeii with Eugenio D’ Orio ( He is was our guide for Pompeii. He was very knowledgeable and I highly recommend him) which was just enough time . I thought we had the perfect amount of time to explore each place not to mention we had lunch at a nice restaurant with a beautiful view that they set up. Ciro was our tour guide who was so nice, accommodating and awesome. I highly recommend this tour and tour group!
This was the best 8 hour tour we have ever experienced. The driver Ciro took great care of us, they gave us clear directions and ensured our safe return. We decided to add a private guided tour in Pompeii with Tomasso, and was the best choice we’ve ever made!
Pompeii was a great historical spot and Sorrento was beautiful and gave us the opportunity to have lunch with an amazing view. Circo our guide was knowledgeable and funny and made our trip great!
Took 1.5 hours to drive to Amafi coast. Walked around the shops. Then went to Sorrento. More shopping and yummy pizza. Then went to Pompeii for a 2 hour tour. Leo made the city come to life for us. One of the best days we’ve had in our cruise.
Oreste is the best driver ever. He’s very knowledgeable and knows all the great spots. If your looking for a private tour book now don’t think about it and ask for Oreste.
We had an incredible experience on our Pompeii, Sorrento, and Amalfi Coast private deluxe tour! Everything was seamless and thoughtfully planned from start to finish. Paolo was an excellent and friendly driver who made the journey enjoyable and stress-free. He shared great local tips and recommendations that really enhanced our day. Anna was a fantastic guide through the ruins of Pompeii—her knowledge and storytelling brought the history to life in such a memorable way. We truly appreciated the level of service and care throughout the tour. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore this beautiful region in a meaningful and comfortable way!
We had an amazing day. Ciro was an exceptional tour guide. He knew all the perfect picture stops and took photos of us. He gave us a history on Sorrento and Positano we visited, along with what to shop for in town! He was a pleasure to talk with and spend the day. Driving was excellent, he was so good, my husband and I both dozed off on the way to Pompeii. Ciro never rushed us and made sure we knew exactly where the location of pick up was so we felt comfortable all day, and he just laughed when we got Gelato twice! David’s was very customer focused, he went above when we had a little hiccup in our reservation. Communication with this company is outstanding, you can definitely tell they care about their customers.
I had the most incredible tour in Italy! It was an unforgettable experience that I will always cherish. My tour guide, Ciro, was not only incredibly handsome but also highly knowledgeable and incredibly sweet. He was the perfect companion for a whole day of private exploration. I totally recommend the Tour company and Ciro as your tour guide
Our trip with this company was absolutely amazing!!! I have to say Ciro was the best driver and tour guide OMG … very knowledgeable, engaging with us . He took time with us in each city exploring the best places and recommending the most important landmarks to visit. I will recommend Ciro and his boss to anybody that to visit Napoli area . This is a five star tour and it’s people.
We had a wonderful tour of Sorrento, a local winery, Pompeii, and the breathtaking Amalfi Coast with Domenico. His English was excellent, and he treated us like royalty throughout the day. I had recently broken my foot on our cruise, and Domenico went above and beyond to accommodate my needs, always ensuring I was comfortable and cared for. His warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the area made the tour truly unforgettable. By the end of the day, it felt like we were traveling with a close family member instead of a tour guide! I would highly recommend Domenico to anyone looking to explore this stunning region of Italy. He made our day one we will never forget!
Our driver/guide was exceptionally helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, with good English. The entire tour was very organized, allowing us to enjoy every moment without a worry.
I took the tour with my family and it was a great experience - Raffaele was a fun guide and told us many interesting things about Naples and the Amalfi Coast. I will go back there with the rest of my family someday :)
It was wonderful as my wife and I are not pressured with time because we have the van only for us. Antonio was a very amiable driver and guide who clearly loves his job! We will recommend this activity if you want a chill way of enjoying Pompeii Sorrento and Amalfi Coast/Positano.
We had an amazing tour. Positano, Sorrento, and Pompeii. Our tour guide was fantastic. Friendly and knowledgeable. They arrived at our cruise port on time and we drove to Positano. We stopped at a stand on the road and our driver bought us frozen lemon and frozen fresh watermelon in a cup. Delicious. We spent about an hour in Positano and then headed to Sorrento. Had a nice lunch there and then spent some time in Pompeii with a guide. Overall a very nice day!
Had a good time. Very pleasant experience with the driver Antonio. We went to Pompeii, the Positano n reached Sorrento.
This was absolutely the BEST ever! Our driver, Ciro, was amazing. He told us not only history about all the areas we visited, but went out of his way to ensure we had the best experience of all time. Even got to go to the ceramic factory and some some fabulous artistry! I would do this again in a heartbeat....and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the trip!
We book this trip just a day before we arrived to Naples and it turned out to be the one of the best one ever. Our tour guy Antonio was amazing. If you want to have the best time exploring this area just book this excursion and request Antonio! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Our day trip from Naples to Positano and Pompeii with Ciao Naples was absolutely unforgettable — and the highlight of our entire trip to Italy. The communication from the company was excellent from the start. They even arranged our Pompeii tickets in advance, which made the day seamless and stress-free. But the real star of the day was our driver and guide, Ciro. He was beyond amazing — kind, personable, and full of knowledge. Ciro took the time to get to know us and tailored the experience perfectly to what we wanted, offering fantastic suggestions along the way, including a delicious local spot for lunch that we never would have found on our own. From the stunning coastal drive to Positano to the rich history of Pompeii, Ciro made everything feel special and personal. His passion for the region and genuine warmth turned a great tour into something truly exceptional. 10/10 — we highly recommend Ciao Naples and especially Ciro! We left with beautiful memories and can’t wait to return. Grazie mille, Ciro — you made our day!
The personalized tour was incredible! Cesare took the time to point out a lot of interesting sights through the wonderful cites we were visiting! Highly recommended!
If lunch is chosen as part of the package, you will be taken to a particular hotel(all the drivers take their passengers to this location) and you won’t have a choice for a local restaurant. The view was spectacular but again it is a designated restaurant. The driver was very good however at times played the radio very loudly and I had to ask for him To turn it down. I would have enjoyed just listening to the natural sounds during our drive
Views were amazing! Davide, tour operator, was hands on from start to finish. He booked our Pompeii tickets in advance. Ciro, driver, was also very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended!
We had a great family experience. We visited Positano, Sorrento and Pompeii. The transportation was smooth and the tour guide Antonio did a great job making us feel comfortable and giving us information about the places we were visiting.
This private tour absolutely exceeded our expectations! We needed a specific time window based on our cruise timing and CiaoNaples was easily able to accommodate. The pricing was great, we went everywhere we wanted and the experience was once in a lifetime! An absolute must do!
Driver was very nice, language was a bit of an issue, traffic into Sorrento was worse than we expected, a lt of time sitting in the car. It was expensive and we had some confusion at Pompeii as to whether a 2 hour tour or entry was included
The experience of traveling to the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, and Pompeii will be remembered as a special experience of a lifetime. The trip organizer called us to confirm the day prior to our excursion and set up a tour driver who picked us up in a luxurious Mercedes and dropped us off at our accommodation. My husband, son, me, the couple who accompanied us all had a fun filled day of informative sightseeing, including opportunities for shopping, eating and drinking.,We also enjoyed many laughs singing along to famous songs from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Luciano Paverati, and others. The driver was knowledgeable, entertaining, and professional. The views of these world renowned places were beyond words to describe their incredible beauty. You have to go see them yourself.
This private day tour with Vito was absolutely amazing. Despite the weather being very hot, the minivan was very comfortable, and we loved the flexibility that this service provided. The first stop was in Positano, and wow, what a picturesque landscape! Pictures simply do not provide the same experience that seeing this area of the Amalfi Coast in person provides. Vito gave us plenty of time to walk around, take pictures and just soak in the natural beauty and culture of this area. We really appreciated his local knowledge and history of Positano. Next stop was in Sorrento, and Vito was able to quickly get us a table at a wonderful restaurant for lunch. We bypassed the long line and were seated immediately. Service was great and of course the food was just splendid. After lunch we had plenty of time to shop in the local city market on our own, and we didn’t have to follow a tor guide around and listen to endless point about the city. Vito provided just enough information so that we felt comfortable going off on our own and meeting up with him at later time. And the last stop was Pompeii. We bought our express tickets ahead of time, so we didn’t have to wait in line. This time of the year was super hot, so if you tour Pompeii in the summer, bring plenty of water, umbrellas and proper clothing! Begin able to quickly walk around Pompeii on our own instead of following a tour guide around for hours was so much of a better experience for us. It provided us so much more flexibility, which is what we preferred. Thanks Vito for providing us one of the most memorable experiences of our Mediterranean trip!
The areas covered by Vito were incredible. There is no substitute for a local with great knowledge of the area and activities. The only issue is if you are on a cruise your time in the different towns is limited, but that’s not their fault! There is too much to see.
The guide Amanda and the driver Gennaro are very kind and comunicative!! The tour was amazing, more than we expected! We recommend!
We had an amazing day with Vito! He was our driver and an amazing tour guide with local charm. Definitely ask for Vito! Thank you for the beautiful day! ❤️
Fantastic tour and great way to see Positano, Sorrento and Pompeii if you don’t have a lot of time. Guide Amanda and driver Gennaro were just fabulous.
Very well organized trip. Vito was very helpful and polite, we saw so much in all three towns, thanks for make this day so special!!
The tour was amazing, the views were incredible. Our tour guides were very organized and informative. Great experience. Highly recommend!!
The tour was fantastic! Perfectly organized, we saw so much in just one day. Sorrento was delightful and Pompeii incredible. A special thanks to our driver, Ciro who was exceptional, professional, courteous, and always ready for us. Highly recommend!
Was the best tour we had from our cruise! Vito was super knowledgeable and very funny! He made our day amazing! I would definitely do a tour through this company again!
Vito is the best driver form Napoli. We do an amazing tour, one day in Positano, Sorrento, Pompeii from Napoli. We recommend to get a guide for the ruins of Pompeii. Everything was perfect and good atmosphere
Vito was incredible and friendly! I would book every tour with him, we felt safe and had the best experience thanks Vito ❤️
We were a group of 7 on private full day trip. All well organised. Great contact before the trip to arrange the details as per our request. Pick up from our apartment, enough time in Positano and Sorrento. Pompeii with professional guide just for us. Highly recommend and I already gave contact details to my friends coming soon.
A great way to take the magic from three important places in one day. Our driver Vito, was knowledgeable, fun and really knew how to escort the trip, give us our own time and space.
What a great day this tour was! ! ! Vito was our driver today, his English was great, he was very kind and knowledgeable and shared lots of information about local life and tips on where to go. We visited Positano first after stopping at spectacular viewpoints, then Sorrento and then Pompeii. This was a private tour and Luca was very flexible and tailored the trip to our needs. I highly recommend a tour with Vito
Vito was amazing! He took care of us very well, gave the freedom to customize our tour which was great!!! He made sure we got back to our ship in time! I would definitely use him again!!
We had approx 1:20hr in Positano and 2hr in Sorrento both beautiful enough time to fully explore. We then had 2hr in Pompeii, and we should have listened when Vito recommended getting a private tour of the ruins! If you walk around by yourself, you want to know what are you looking at as the are only a handful of signs and it's a huge site, but a great time nevertheless. A fab day out and I would definitely recommend!
Private tour. They were very flexibile and accommodating when we wanted to change the itinerary. The driver was polite and on time
Was a great tour! Very polite and respectful. Also very patient. The views were amazing: a great time to visit whilst avoiding large crowds
Paolo, our driver was charming and adapted at all times to our wishes and needs, but it is not what we expected. We thought we had hired a private tour with a Spanish-speaking guide who would accompany us in Pompeii and explain some of the history of Naples and not a private car with a driver who struggled to make himself understood because he did not speak Spanish, who would take us to the places on the itinerary
