Best Experience ever!!!
This is the second time we hire Jose from amalfi Tour guide because they are simply The best! I had my whole family, 24 people, coming to Positano and Jose was ready for us with all 3 vans. The vehicles were impecable, the service top notch and the drivers always had the best attitude. They made sure that in every ride we visited and see the most beautiful places in Italy. I love using Amalfi Tour Guide and will always recommend them to all my family and friends.

Jose is amazing
Jose is amazing! He was kind and knowledgeable about the Napoli and Pompeii area. He responded quickly with all of my questions. Jose made our trip to Pompeii even more memorable. When we come back to the area we will book another trip with him. I will also be telling all of my friends and family members to reach out to him when they are in the area. Thank you Jose! You are awesome.

Herculaneum day trip and wine tour .
We had a great tour of Amalfi coast with our superb driver Jose’ . We were planning on returning on Friday back to Rome and Jose recommended doing the Herculaneum trip and wine tour.

Highly Recommend!!!
I can’t recommend this tour enough. We loved it and it was one of the highlights of our 4 week vacation in Italy. First, Jose, our driver was fantastic. He was communicative, responsive, and very helpful in suggesting a customized tour that hit all the points we wanted. We needed up doing 2 hours in Mt. Vesuvius, lunch at a winery, and 2 hours in Pompeii with a guide. We had two vans (Mercedes) since there were 10 of us. We got picked up at Naples Train Station at 9am with all of our luggage and were able to do the half day tour and then were dropped off at our hotel in Positano. Jose (our driver) was very charismatic, informative and we just thought he was great. Our friends who were in the second vehicle also said the same about their driver. We liked them so much that we hired them for our return drive from Positano to Naples Airport. I highly recommend them and the guide they hired for Pompeii (she was phenominal and did great with the kids ages 10-13, as well as, the adults.
Response from the operator: Dear Brenda, thank you so much for your testimonial, we are extremely happy to hear that you had a positive experience with our company and that had good time in traveling around Pompeii, Mont Vesuvius & Amalfi Coast with us! Looking forward to welcome you back to Italy anytime! Thank you very much!! Bianca & Josè

Our trip to Pompeii
This tour to Pompeii and Herculaneum was absolutely amazing. One of the best things to do while staying on Amalfi Coast. Our driver Jose’ was terrific as well as the vehicle he took us in. He was the perfect person to take us to these sites. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about the areas we visited. His conversation made the day a lot of fun. Definitely use this company while touring Pompeii.
Response from the operator: Ciao Jim, it's always a pleasure to read such positive feedback and we are delighted you enjoyed your experience with us. We hope to seeing you again soon....Arrivederci!!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pompeii, Herculaneum & Wine Tour, with Licensed Guide included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Pompeii, Herculaneum & Wine Tour, with Licensed Guide included cost?
+
Prices start at $219 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sorrento usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pompeii, Herculaneum & Wine Tour, with Licensed Guide included take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sorrento is not rushed.
Is Pompeii, Herculaneum & Wine Tour, with Licensed Guide included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pompeii, Herculaneum & Wine Tour, with Licensed Guide included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Pompeii, Herculaneum & Wine Tour, with Licensed Guide included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pompeii, Herculaneum & Wine Tour, with Licensed Guide included?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sorrento can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sorrento and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pompeii, Herculaneum & Wine Tour, with Licensed Guide included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sorrento within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sorrento?
+
On Outty we rank every Sorrento experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Private Amalfi Coast Day Tour from Sorrento or Naples, Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sorrento?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sorrento?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
