## Why each made the list

- **Sorrento Pizza School Activity in Italy** — A pizza lesson at a working flour mill over in Sorrento, where the staff walk you through the styles and the dough before you shape, bake and eat your own. The courtesy car to the mill, drinks and the meal are all in the price, which makes it a half day off the coast rather than a quick stop. 4.99 from 113 reviews at €90 per person.
- **AMALFI COAST TOUR from Positano (enjoy Amalfi, Ravello, Sorrento)** — A full day with a private driver out of Positano taking in Amalfi, Ravello and Sorrento in one loop, with photo stops on the coast road between them. Water and the driving are included, meals and entrance fees are not; the commentary is in the car, you walk the towns yourself, and the price is per person. 5 from 85 reviews at €295 per person.
- **Full Day Private Sorrento & Amalfi Coast Tour from Positano** — A car day from Positano across to Sorrento and back along the coast through Amalfi and Ravello, with a driver who narrates the history as you go. Water is aboard and the vehicle is yours alone, the commentary is in English only, and meals, admissions and tips are paid as you go. 4.97 from 128 reviews at €284 per person.
- **5 Wine Tastings with Typical Products in Sorrento Coast** — A tasting at a working mill on the Sorrento side, five pours of Campanian and southern wines with cured meats, cheeses and vegetables, the first glass served looking at Vesuvius. A courtesy car brings you over and limoncello is included; gluten free plates need notice and it is not advised in pregnancy. 5 from 47 reviews at €95 per person.
- **Pompeii Tour with Lunch and Wine Tasting from Positano** — Pompeii with a guide in the morning, then lunch and a tasting at a cellar on the slopes of Vesuvius, so the ruins and the wine country above them come in one trip. Transport from Positano, the ticket, the guide and the meal are in the price; it runs in English only and needs moderate fitness. 4.96 from 74 reviews at €249 per person.
- **Pompeii Guided Tour from Amalfi Coast** — A transfer from your coast hotel plus a two hour guided walk of Pompeii in a small group, so the ticket, the queue and the driving come in one booking. Skip the line entry and pickup are included, lunch is not; the guiding runs in English only and the site asks for moderate fitness. 4.92 from 97 reviews at €159 per person.
- **Pompei Archeological site and Wine tasting Experience** — Pompeii with a professional guide and then a winery lunch at the foot of Vesuvius, run privately with a minivan and driver for your party alone.

- **Small Group Guided Pompeii Tour from Positano** — The ruins of Pompeii with an archaeologist, reached by a small group transfer that collects you at your hotel in Positano and brings you back.

- **Private Skip-the-Line Pompeii & Mt. Vesuvius Tour from Positano** — Pompeii and Vesuvius in one private day from your hotel in Positano, with a licensed guide for the ruins and a drive up to the crater afterwards. Door to door transport, priority entry and both tickets are covered; lunch is on you, and a volcano closed by bad weather means the entry fees come back. 4.81 from 47 reviews at €625 per person.
- **Pompeii & Vesuvius with Lunch & Wine Tasting from Amalfi Coast** — Pompeii with an archaeologist and then the climb to the Vesuvius crater, broken by a sit down lunch with a wine tasting.

- **Enjoy Pompeii & Mt. Vesuvius: Semi-Private Tour from Positano** — Pompeii and the crater of Vesuvius in one day, with pickup from your accommodation, an archaeological guide for the two hour walk through the ruins and the drive up the volcano after.

- **Explore the Pompeii Ruins from Positano** — A half day to Pompeii from Positano with a minivan transfer and an archaeologist for the ruins, rather than a full day with Vesuvius attached.
