Pompeii Amalfi Drive From Salerno

Great experience for the whole family. Highly recommend.

Very informative local driver. Added a stop at lemon cello factory. Arranged a guide for Pompeii before we arrived. Highly recommend!

John was timely and very knowledgeable about all the areas we visited. He took us to a little village that was quaint called Ravello that was breathtaking. And then we proceeded to the Amalfi Coast where we had time to shop, eat and see the beach. After that we chose to do Pompeii and highly recommend getting a tour guide for the short amount of time you have there. The best preserved ruins we have ever seen. We lucked out with a great weather day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an incredible day on the From Ashes to Azure: Private Pompeii & Amalfi Coast tour, thanks to our wonderful guide, Carmine. He was patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable—an expert in the history, culture, and hidden gems of the Naples area. Carmine took the time to customize our tour based on what we wanted to see, and made sure we were comfortable and engaged throughout the entire day. His passion for the region was clear, and he shared so many interesting facts and stories that made our visit even more meaningful. We would absolutely use Carmine again and highly recommend him to anyone looking to see the best of Naples, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast with a personal touch. Don’t miss the chance to tour with him—you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for this beautiful region of Italy!

We booked private excursion to Amalfi Coast from Naples. Communication before and during was excellent. Picked us up directly at cruise port. Vehicle was nice Mercedes van. Driver was well, dressed and courteous and very professional. He had water ready for us on board. He asked us what we would like to do and planned our day around us. We decided not to do Pompeii this time but the driver provided a significant information about recent eruptions in the history that was very accurate as we drove around Mount Vesuvius. The small road to Amalfi is nothing short of extraordinary. However, it is not for the faint of heart and those intimidated by extreme height and somewhat treacherous windy mountain roads should consider carefully. There were many times we were looking over small stone wall over 500 foot cliffs with no visible bottom. But the views are jaw dropping. Trip was 1.5 hour one way from Naples port to Amalfi coast. Would do again.!!

Carmine was amazing! We had a perfect day and got to see it all and more. 10 out of 10 because of the great service provided by our new friend, Carmine.

Francisco was the best of all our excursions. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He was our driver and giving information about places too. We appreciate the water he gave us. We will definitely refer your company to our friends.

This tour was amazing! We toured the Amalfi Coast, walking the streets of Amalfi and Positano, stopping at the best overlooks, then finished the day in Pompeii. Carmine was an amazing tour guide. Best guide we’ve had on any trip this vacation.

Amazing day trip from Naples! We got to see sooo much, but it was still a very relaxing day, great drop-off and pick-up points at the various locations (and one of the best parts: we did not have to worry about parking!)

This was one of our favorite tours on our 2 week trip and I am so glad we booked with Amalfi Day tours. (We are a family of four with two children 11/13). We switched tour companies to book with them a few weeks before our trip and the entire staff at Amalfi day tours was lovely to work with (Rosy was great via email). Our driver, Francesco, picked us up at the Naples cruise port—it was extremely hectic there that day with many cruise ships—but we found him and were on our way. The van was a clean, Mercedes van and he was a safe driver. He did a great job explaining the history of the areas. He is a driver and had to stay with the car, so he would give us directions and drop us off for independent tours of the town. We arrived in Pompeii after a 20 minute drive and met Grace our tour guide. (I strongly recommend paying extra for the tour guide—-we would not have really understood Pompeii without her insight). I was a little worried when we hadn’t purchased tickets in advance but she was a total pro getting us to the front of the ticket line and into to the site quickly. She was an excellent tour guide and did a great job giving us an overview of the history, architecture and daily life of Pompeii. This tour was our biggest surprise of the trip—-it exceeded our expectations and we could have spent two days there! We got some souvenirs and headed out in the van to our next stop. The drive through the Milky Mountains was beautiful, but windy (no one got car sick). Bring a few Euros—we stopped at a little roadside stand to take pictures and got some lemon treats. We stopped in Ravello and enjoyed walking around a less crowded town. We then went to Amalfi to walk around. It was extremely crowded in Amalfi—the streets and shops were very crowded. We were able to sit down and have lunch at a casual restaurant that Francesco recommended—It was quick and delicious. Overall, an amazing tour company that I would highly recommend with an excellent driver, tour guide and office staff.

This company is amazing! John and Rosy in the planning office were great! Super responsive via WhatApp once we arrived. Our driver Carmen was also amazing. He told us so many interesting facts while driving and changed up our tour on the fly that day adding some stops we did not plan for on the way back - just making it simply amazing. Grace our private guide at Pompeii was also fantastic. She was passionate, knowledgeable and we were so lucky to have her guide us. I highly recommend using them while on the Amalfi coast. A small family run company that simply was the best!

We made a last-minute booking through Viator and had John as a driver for the day to take us from Naples to Positano. It is super helpful, accommodating knowledgeable, and was delight to have company. Thanks to the entire team and would take this tour in the future and highly recommend.

Highly recommend this family run business! Do not hesitate to reach out and request a tour customized to your liking. Our experience started with Rosy who was so quick to respond and reassuring to work with. When we arrived in Naples on a cruise, John met my family…quickly whisked us away to the Amalfi Coast, headed to Ravello before crowds got insane, then stopped in beautiful Positano. John offered a lot of great insights and recommendations. It is a lot of winding roads and I tend to get motion sick, but John was amazing navigating the difficult roads. Then we went to Pompeii where we met Grace, our archeological guide. It was our second time visiting Pompeii and we learned so much. Definitely visit Pompeii with a guide and Grace was awesome! They made sure to watch the clock…never felt rushed, but I also knew they would ensure on time arrival back to the ship. Truly amazing day!

Thank you Franceso for an incredible day visiting the exquisite Amafli Coast! Francesco picked us up and returned us to the cruise port on time. He was kind and knowledgable and we had an incredible day visting the most beautiful area.

What an amazing day! Francesco was energetic, knowledgeable, adapted the tour for us and arranged a great side tour at Pompeii! We experienced much in a short time (cruise stop). I highly recommend this tour.

The entire day was perfect. Hiring a private driver for the day was the best decision as well as hiring a private guide for Pompeii. They were both wonderful and ensured we had a wonderful experience.

We had the best day with Francesco! He picked us up from the train station and off we went for our 8 hour tour of the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii. We appreciated and trusted all of Francesco's suggestions and he did not disappoint. From the timing of the itinerary to the food (especially the Lemon Delight!). His knowledge and enthusiasm made for a truly enjoyable day. Arranging the tour ahead of time was easy. Rosy and John answered all of our questions and were very helpful. Thank you to everyone for this beautiful day!

This tour was fantastic! The Amalfi coast and Ravello are so beautiful. Pompeii is indescribably breathtaking from the history of the city to the description of the tragedy with Mt Vesuvius. Our guide John was so great with giving us information about all of the locations that we visited and he arranged a personal guide at Pompeii for us to tour the archaeological site. Our guide Grace was so informative and did such a wonderful job explaining all of the details about Pompeii.

We had a great tour guide Davide. We enjoyed the beautiful ride. Our first stop was Amalfi. We spent about 1 hour here. We had a snack, did some shopping and took a few photos. This is really a place you can spend days. Not a place I would do a quick visit to again, next trip I want more time. We then went to Positano briefly as well. We literally walked into a restaurant, ate and left. Again, another place I wish to go back to but would never go for a short visit again like we did. We had no time to even walk into the village or look around. Next stop was Pompeii and again it was rushed. 6 hours is not enough time to do these 3 things. I would not recommend trying to accomplish so much in one day. We hired a private tour guide to give us the tour of Pompeii. It was 180 more Euros for this but worth it. We learned during our tour that there is a Pompeii Museum. Had we known that we would have gone to see it. Don't try to see all of this in one day. Pick your place and go there- just one place- enjoy your day.

After having an absolutely horrendous tour and being ripped off in Rome, please read my other review of the other company I purchased on Viator and avoid them in Rome- this tour operator on the other hand was refreshing and exceptional. Our tour guide was fantastic, had a tremendous command of English and local knowledge and was an absolute gentleman. We saw breathtaking scenery and it was done in a very comfortably air-conditioned black Mercedes van as promised. This company provided everything they said they said they would and then some. I will be using them again in the future when I return to Naples.

Our guide David was the best. He knew so much about the area and was able to show us a lot of sites in the short amount of time we had off the ship. He really made our experience enjoyable. We went for the guided tour of Pompeii which we thought was so worth it. Our guide there was very informative and was able to answer all of our questions about the site.

We had a great day and saw as much as we could in our limited time! The Amalfi coast is beautiful and we will definitely be back to see more! Our driver was super knowledgeable and gave us the history of each town!

We disembarked in Naples and we took this tour. Our tour guide John was fantastic. He communicated with me before the trip and also when we got off the ship via whatsapp. Naples is a confusing port and he made it easy to find him. We had a big group and he organized a 20 person bus so we could all go together. We drove from Naples to Sorrento and he gave us about 1.5 hours to hang out, have lunch, and see the sights. John stopped at some lookout points so you could see all of Sorrento and the beauty that this part of Italy holds. We then drove to Pompeii where our guide Enzo met us to do the Pompeii tour. We had a bunch of kids with us and they were not as into Pompeii as the adults. We also had some older adults that can not walk as well. I asked how long the tour would take and he said 3 hours.. I asked for the shortened version of 1.5 hours and hit the highlights. Enzo was great. He did just that and everyone agreed it was a fantastic experience and just right for the kids and older folks in our group. I could have spent all day there, but I felt fantastic with what we saw in that short period of time and really enjoyed the whole experience. We then went back to the port and the whole experience was perfectly timed out so we could be back on the ship in time with no stress at all. Everyone in the group enjoyed this tour. We all agreed that more time in the Amalfi Coast is a must, but when you are on a cruise schedule there is only so much time in the day! In my opinion this tour is much better than the ones offered by the cruise line because John was able to cater to our needs and make adjustments on the fly. We were able to choose where to go and adjust the length of the tour to suit the needs of our group. A big "GRAZZIE" to John and Amalfi Coast Day Tours for their work that day. You truly made it very memorable and we all want to come back to the Amalfi Coast soon!

Our driver David was awesome , the vehicle was clean & spacious for our family of 6 adults. He was knowledgeable about the area & was very good about keeping us on a timeline so we could enjoy positano, Amalfi coast & Pompeii. He shared his WhatsApp number so we could stay in touch. David arranged for a tour guide at Pompeii who was helpful at buying tickets & making Pompeii a wonderful history lesson (worth the money). We arrived back to the port in plenty of time. A great day from the port of Naples.

Our tour was incredible. We booked this specific tour so we could modify our stops if necessary so we could pack in what we wanted in the allotted time. Carmine, our tour guide was exceptional and truly made this tour worth every euro. We were traveling with a family group of 8 and everyone had a GREAT time. The Lemon Delight and Limoncello at Andrea Pansa in Amalfi was fantastic. We had lunch at Restaurant and Hotel Costa Diva in Priano and finished up the day with a private tour of Pompeii. Carmine picked us up at Napoli Centrale shortly after our train came in from Rome and dropped us off at the station for our train ride back, all in the same day. I would not hesitate to do this tour again.

We had a private trip around the Amalfi coast, Ravello, and Pompei. David was our driver and Grace was our guide for Pompei. What a wonderful experience and they were flexible to adjust the itinerary to meet our preferences. First class! Highly recommend.

We had the most fantastic day with Carmine. He is a wonderful person and an amazing driver and tour guide. He really made an effort to accommodate everything we wanted to see, and we could not thank him enough. This company was fair-priced and professional. We would definitely recommend this company and Carmine to any traveler who wants to have the best day around Naples (or wherever Carmine decides is best 😊). We plan to be back!

Davide was a fantastic and fun tour guide for out family of 5! He picked us up on time from our port and had us back safely on time for boarding. Communication with him and the company was excellent. They arranged for our personal guide at Pompeii, Grace, who was also terrific. My suggestions to make this the best tour for your family: Do only 2 of the stops to make the trip more quality than quantity. All 3 locations, Amalfi, Positano and Pompeii are worth visiting, but time is so limited in each if doing all 3. We had a great time but felt rushed with less than an hour to spend in Amalfi and Positano. You need at least 2 hours at those stops! Book with this company and ask for Davide!

Our private tour was impeccable with driver and local Napolian Giovanni Lucas. Don’t think twice, just book it and ask for “John” - we think he’s THE best. A master of the roads, towns, sights, history and cuisine of the area, you will have the most memorable day of your trip. I know, because we did 💛

Our driver/guide Joe was fantastic and picked us up right off the ship in a nice roomy van. He drove us along the beautiful Amalfi Coast pointing out all of the highlights and giving us all kinds of interesting facts of the area. We stopped in Amalfi and Positano where he gave us great recommendations on food etc. We then went to Pompeii for a 2 hour tour…I highly recommend the archeological guide that they recommend because Pompeii is so huge and the guide makes the most of your time!

Davide, our guide was very good, very accommodating, informative. He spent even more time with us than originally scheduled. Even though it was a rainy day, we enjoyed our tour very much. Davide also made great suggestions about restaurants.

We had Francesco as our guide, being a local he went above and beyond the general hi s tory and culture tours to answer all the questions asked, became more like a friend showing us around and would accommodate any request and gave amazing advice on best way to see the coast. Cannot recommend enough.

Perfect day with carmine. He was just a gem to be around. And he was a great driver. He took us to see everything we wanted, and timed it all out perfectly. Highly recommend

Francesco was a great guide, extremely courteous, friendly and he made our trip very comfortable. He communicated to us prior to pickup and provided lot of details of local life as well. We would definitely hire the company again for our future trips to Italy

Our driver and tour guide John exceeded our expectations. He drove us from Naples to the Amalfi Coast, including Ravella and Positano. He stopped at many beautiful locations for pictures, recommended great coffee shops and afforded us enough time to walk through the town of Positano and have a wonderful seaside lunch. Afterwards he drove us to Pompeii and even set us up with a tour guide. We could not have had a better time and highly recommend John and the Amalfi Tour.

This tour was the perfect tour of Positano, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast. We had one of the best days and our tour guide was amazing. He let us walk around and explore and gave us great recommendations. He even took us to a fresh juice guy who squeezed fresh fruit for us with a gorgeous view.

Beautiful land to drive around and visit comfortably in a van driven by a friendly and informative driver (Giovanni k/a John) during a time of the year (early February) when the weather was favorable, with minimal traffic, and few people around. Certainly recommended.

I booked this tour while honeymooning in Sorento and it is a great way to experience both Pompeii and sightseeing along the Amalfi Coast! We started the day touring Pompeii with Grace, I highly recommend hiring her as a guide if she is available, she is very knowledgeable about the history and layout of the area and truly helped make the experience an unforgettable one. After Pompeii, we started our tour of the Amalfi Coast with John who is friendly, professional, and taught us a lot about the region. In addition to sightseeing in the mountains and along the coast, we stopped for lunch at a cliffside restaurant recommended by John, both the views and food were incredible! Overall it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it!

We were able to experience so much more on this private tour than otherwise. Our driver was great!! So many beautiful memories were made and captured!

If I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would. John was our driver and he was was so nice, had great conversation and stopped so many times so we could get out and take pictures of all the amazing views of the Amalfi coast. He also had great recommendations for lunch, we ate the tres Sorelle which was amazing. He then drove us to Pompeii where we met Grace who was our guide. She was great sooo knowledgeable and upbeat, it’s was my favorite tour our whole vacation. We completely missed our train and delayed the whole tour and they were so understanding and accommodating.

We recently visited the Amalfi coast, and arranged with Amalfi coast Day tours two custom trips for our visit. The first was a pickup from the Naples train station to Positano area with an excursion to Pompeii en route including a guide. The second trip was our transfer from Positano area back Naples with an excursion along the Amalfi coast, stopping in Amalfi and Ravello. My first experience with this company was excellent. Rosy was immediately responsive to email when I was initially planning. She would answer questions, and there was no pressure. We arranged our tour plans approximately 3 months prior to our trip. Before departing the US, we confirmed all plans with Rosy. The day before our first transfer, Rosy sent another confirmation. The driver for both of our transfers and excursions was Francesco. He was fantastic. He met us exactly at the arranged times. He was so friendly and enthusiastic. He loved where he was from, and was so excited explaining the sites along the way. Our first excursion took us to Pompeii, where we met Grace, our guide for the archeological site. Grace was outstanding. She grew up in the area and had a deep understanding and respect for the site. She also wanted to impart her knowledge about the ancient city to us. Without her, the our experience at Pompeii would have been severely lacking. Our return excursion was similarly flawless. Francesco picked us up on time from our hotel. He took us along the coast, narrating sites and all the cities we passed and history of the area. We made stops in Amalfi (about 75 minutes) and in Ravello (about 90 minutes). We skipped positano because we already explored the town on our own earlier in the week. He made stops along the way for photos, and shared his experience growing up in the area. Amalfi coast day tours were a highlight of our trip. I was impressed with how efficient they were and well they executed their plans. I have to give my thanks again to Rosy for arranging our itinerary, Francesco for his driving and conversation, and Grace for sharing her knowledge on Pompeii with us. I highly highly recommend this team.

Our family of 8 adults had so much fun riding with Francisco from Napoli Centrale through Amalfi and Positano and on to Pompeii. The drive allowed for photo-ops and very appropriate times for wandering the towns and getting some food and shopping in. His driving skills are highly commendable and we appreciated his personal stories of going to Priamo as a child on holidays. The coach was very comfortable for the 8 of us. The last stop was Pompeii where we met Grace who was to be our guide. I highly recommend paying for the expertise of Grace whose presentation constantly referred you to the society who created the city and lived, worked, and died there. To the extent we could, we felt like we were a part of life in Pompeii which was almost overwhelming considering the terrible tragedy that occurred. She is a great guide and you shouldn't miss her!

Frank and Jon were fantastic. Our family of 12 enjoyed a wonderful day with these two exceptional guides and finished with a tour from Grace at Pompeii. We have six children ranging in age from 9-16 and they all said this was their favorite excursion from our Mediterranean trip. We couldn't recommend this company enough!!

We had the most amazing day with Francesco. We were picked up at the Naples train station and he drove us first to Amalfi and Positano and then to Pompeii. He explained the history, culture and life to us along the winding roads. He stopped to let us take beautiful, scenic photos along the way. In each town he gave us recommendations of where to eat and what to see. Since this was only a day trip this really helped us use our time in the best way. But he definitely gave us tips for when we might return another time. Rosy had also arranged a guide for us at Pompeii - you must have a guide there otherwise it's completely overwhelming. Grace was so wonderful. Probably the best guide we had in Italy. She is so passionate about Pompeii. We learned the history but also why it's such an important and special place. I would highly recommend using Amalfi Coast Day Tours for any trip. I hope we get back soon.

We did many excursions from our cruise ship and this was our groups favorite!!! John and Francesco were incredible!!! Highly recommend this private tour. We had a group of 12 and they were able to accommodate us all. We finished the day with a tour of Pompeii with a personal guide, Grace. Grace was very knowledgeable and the guided tour is a must do!! This day trip was well worth the money. We thought of touring the Amalfi coast from the sea but we are glad we selected this tour because the drive to Amalfi was a wonderful experience and the countryside is something to see!!! Our drivers made an additional stop at Ravello to show us less crowded, spectacular views.

We only had one day to see the highlights of the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii from Naples and were very happy we went with Carmine and the rest of the team. The private driver and guide in a comfortable van made for a much safer and stress free way to navigate the beautiful winding roads of the Amalfi coast. We had a very convenient and easy pick up location, excellent information provided along the way (history, facts, stories, etc.), fantastic view point stops for photos and plenty of time to explore the highlighted locations throughout the day (Amalfi, Positano and Pompeii ruins). The communication was perfect with our driver Carmine and he was always there to pick us up when we needed him, give us more time when we wanted it or make a quick stop if we needed a break or photo. Highly recommend this tour!

Our Guide. John was the best. The whole tour was more than we expected. We would highly recommend this trip and this tour guide. It was a wonderful experience.

Fantastic day visiting the amazing Pompeii ruins and the beautiful amalfi coast. Our driver Francesco did an excellent job making sure we got to see all the sites and was a great guide giving us fun facts and history throughout the trip. If you want to experience the best of the bay of Naples and only have a day to do it, this is the trip to take. Highly recommend the archeological guide at Pompeii as well to elevate your experience.

We loved this tour! Francesco made our day very enjoyable and provided us with great information about the area. We drove through and stopped at Amalfi and Positano before going to Pompeii and we are so glad we were able to do this all in day with our short trip to Italy. If you are short on time and would like to explore these places, this is a great way to see as much as possible in one day. Francesco was the best and made sure we made the most of our time. Highly recommended!
