It’s a long day but a great way to get a taste of the Amalfi coast and Pompeii all in one day. The large bus can only go so far and then you get into smaller shuttle buses to take you lower into Positano. Can’t say enough about our excellent guide Angela, not only a great story-teller, knowledgeable about history, culture and the area but she also took the time to make sure every group on the bus was looked after. Her restaurant recommendation (Chez Black on the beach in Positano) was amazing. You do have the opportunity for a quick swim in Positano if you want. Pompeii was incredible, I had no idea the way they lived was so advanced, our guide Bernie was wonderful, friendly, kept just the right pace and full of interesting information. There are good stops planned along the way to buy food and refreshments. Wear comfortable footwear (sandals are okay), bring a refillable water bottle and buy the inexpensive hand fans, they really make a difference.
