Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Sorrento from Rome

The experience

You start from the center of Piazza del Popolo, at the large fountain with the lions and the obelisk; the nearest metro is Flaminio, line A. The staff wear blue and hold a City Wonders sign. The coach has air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and a host stays with the group all day. In Pompeii, the tour is led by an archaeologist, and entry to the Archaeological Park is included: you enter with the ticket already ready, among the ruins preserved under the ash of Vesuvius.

After Pompeii there is time to buy lunch, which is not included. Then the coach takes the scenic route of the Amalfi Coast, with stops for the views, according to the listing, and arrives in Sorrento: free time to explore the streets of the center and a limoncello tasting at a local distillery. In the evening, you return to the meeting point in Rome. The price starts from $94 per person (GetYourGuide, October 2026), with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Before booking, three things. The host speaks English or Spanish, depending on the option chosen. The tour is not suitable for those with mobility issues or who use a wheelchair, and strollers, suitcases, and large bags are not allowed. And a day this long also depends on traffic: the listing warns that, due to external causes, the itinerary and times may change.

★★★★★

A fantastic day trip. Well prepared and very organized. Our guide for the day was Natasha, and she was amazing! Fun and knowledgeable. The tour of Pompeii was led by Enrico, equally fun. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

The trip was wonderful! Even though it rained that day and a small landslide caused heavy traffic (things no one can control), Bri and Daniel were amazing, supporting the group all day [...] and taking care of every detail.

A really nice tour and a wonderful guide (Antoni). The Pompeii guide was also excellent, and the limoncello factory was one of the best parts. Sorrento was beautiful.
