# Pompeii Tour & Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome

**Guidekin's take:** Picked for the early entry: a small group walks Pompeii with an archaeologist before the coaches arrive, then rides the Amalfi coast road to free time in Positano in summer or Sorrento in winter. Express entry, minibus and guide are included at €199 per person, lunch and pickup are not. Names must match passports and cannot be changed.

In our comparison: #73 of 75 in Day Trips from Rome, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Then, journey along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, with a scenic drive offering awe-inspiring views.
