Awesome tour sites

William Simoni, 08 November 2025

The first thing you need to know is that this is a *long* day. We met at 6:30am and returned at 8:45pm. Mari was our guide for the whole day. She kept us entertained during the long rides with history, local flavor, and humor. As our visit (November) was out of season, the order of stops was reversed due to Pompeii having reduced hours. We drove the 3 hours there, stopping halfway for a rest break at a place that also sold food/drink. Pompeii was incredible - in the 2 hours we had there, we only saw a small portion. You could easily spend a whole day here. Our local guide Victoria was very knowledgeable and friendly. After a break for lunch we continued on to Positano - the entire drive there was beautiful. We had to switch from our large motorcoach to a smaller bus to navigate the narrow roads. Positano is built on the side of a mountain and has very few flat spots until you get to the beach. We had 90 minutes to shop, eat, and enjoy the scenery. The ride back to Rome was long, but I ended the day less tired than on other go-go-go days. We stopped at the same place for a rest break briefly. All in all it was an excellent way to see history and a beautiful resort town along the Amalfi Coast.
