What people are saying about Positano

Very good experience for a single day. Both the guide (Rob) and the driver (Giulio) are excellent, and very prudent, they take care of you at all times, they are very attentive and very friendly and fun. Also my guide in Pompeii, Willy, the visit was very good, Pompeii is very big and we only saw 20% but it is a good introduction. Worth it.

Our guides were amazing - sensational driving on a challenging road handled expertly So knowledgeable and lots of fun Such a great atmosphere with the group Even though lots of things are closed in the off-season, there is still plenty of things that are open and lots to see and do. The weather was sensational

It is very impressive all of the beautiful piece of lands you may see within such a short amount of time. Arianna was especially helpful while visiting Sorrento for the first time. Great experience, strongly recommended

Tour guide was great. Lots of little stories and details provided. Just make sure you have a hat and an umbrella, there is no shade or trees so temperature can get brutal and a bottle of water.
