She was humorous, moved things along at a good pace while packing in lots of information, and made our visit to the Vatican low stress despite the crowds. I would highly recommend Elena!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,888 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $1,071

Review of the private Rome to Pompeii, Positano, and Amalfi Coast tour, with practical advice on timing, guides, transport, cost, and value.

“Overall comments for Amalfi Tour We were shocked to learn that our van had seats facing each other. With 3 passengers in the front and 6 in the rear cabin, it was an uncomfortable ride for those of us who have long legs, have problems sitting in cramped spaces for long periods of time or have car sickness from riding backwards. This type of vehicle should be discontinued for your tours. In addition, it is easy to spread germs and communicable diseases, like COVID-19 because we are face to face. The fact that this was a small tour led us to believe that it would be a more comfortable trip……”

“Massimo is one of a kind. There’s no better way to experience the Vatican than with someone like Massimo who literally knows every worker, every piece of art, and how to get through the museums in a decent bit of time while not missing any of the highlights. He enriched the experience with his personality, attention to detail, and the lessons he shared using his iPad. We felt like we were royalty being escorted through the Vatican from the moment we met Massimo, and that alone made the trip 1000% worth it. There’s no better way to experience the Vatican than with Massimo.”

“We had an amazing Rome tour with a small group. The Mercedes Benz van was comfortable and air-conditioned, making the journey pleasant. We visited eight major sites in Rome with a flexible schedule. Our tour guide, Mateo, was not only handsome and friendly but also highly professional with excellent driving skills. He coordinated and organized our tour seamlessly, ensuring everyone's needs were met. Mateo often found parking spots close to the scenic sites, saving us a lot of walking time. His passion and extensive tour experience gave us a fantastic first impression of Rome.Read more”

“The streets of Rome are very bumpy and crowded. To be honest it was a little scary and uncomfortable. It also was cold . Our tour started at 4:390 and went on until around 7. I would suggest that the tour operator provided blankets for the guest. We asked our guide to take us back to I the hotel several times and he kept taking us to different locations. He also had a very heavy Italian accent and was difficult to to understand. He was very cordial and friendly and also very knowledgeable.”
