Your Itinerary

Pompeii Archaeological Park

If option selected you will visit this site instead of Ercolanum. Pompeii is a unique historic site in that in an ironic twist of fate, the catastrophe that decimated the citizens of the unsuspecting town is also responsible for the near-perfect preservation of many things that would have otherwise been destroyed in all other such natural disasters. You’ll see art, furniture, and other everyday items the citizens used – in addition to the macabre plaster forms that are accurate representations of the citizens as captured in their last living moments.

Admission Included

Parco Acheologico di Ercolano

If option selected you will visit this site instead of Pompei. Ercolano is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Campania of Southern Italy. It lies at the western foot of Mount Vesuvius, on the Bay of Naples, just southeast of the city of Naples. The medieval town of Resina was built on the volcanic material left by the eruption of Vesuvius (79 AD) that destroyed the ancient city of Herculaneum, from which the present name is derived.

Admission Included

Amalfi Coast

(Pass by)

Magically suspended between the blue sky and the iridescent colored sea, the Amalfi coast seems to be born from the palette of a painter who wanted to use the warmer color gradients for creating a landscape that enchants the visitor at the first shot, giving thrilling experience and such evocative view to doubt, for a moment, it is real. It is the land where the sweet scent of lemon blossoms harmonizes itself with the most aromatic one of the Mediterranean vegetation and the acrid aroma of saltiness; where the brilliant colors of the majolica domes, bougainvillea and carnations pergolas give an evident colored touch to the typical whitewashed houses, clinging to the last offshoots of the Lattari Mounts that plunge dramatically into the sea.

Sorrento Coast

(Pass by)

The Sorrento Coast is a jagged promontory that shores up the southern end of the Bay of Naples. This peninsula of hilly terrain ends abruptly at a cliff that plunges sheerly down to the Mediterranean sea. The entire coastline around Sorrento was a Greek colony during the period of Magna Grecia, the legendary site of Homer's sirens, before being conquered by the Romans who enjoyed the area as a summer playground. It has maintained a reputation as an exclusive resort destination ever since. It boasts a mild climate, gorgeous panoramas and citrus-scented air.

Sorrento

Sorrento is a town overlooking the Bay of Naples in Southern Italy. A popular tourist destination due to its variety of small antique shops and location on the Amalfi Coast, it can be reached easily from Naples and Pompeii as it is at the south-eastern end of the Circumvesuviana rail line. The town is most known for its small shops selling ceramics, lacework and marquetry (woodwork). The Sorrentine Peninsula has views of Naples, Vesuvius and the Isle of Capri. The Amalfi Drive, connecting Sorrento and Amalfi, is a narrow road that threads along the high cliffs above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Ferries and hydrofoils connect the town to Naples, Amalfi, Positano, Capri and Ischia. Sorrento's sea cliffs and luxury hotels have attracted celebrities including Enrico Caruso and Luciano Pavarotti. Limoncello, a digestif made from lemon rinds, alcohol, water and sugar, is produced in Sorrento. Other agricultural production includes citrus fruit, wine, nuts and olives.

Positano

Dramatic, deluxe and more than a little dashing, Positano is the Amalfi Coast's front-cover splash, with vertiginous houses tumbling down to the sea in a cascade of sun-bleached peach, pink and terracotta. No less photo-worthy are its steep streets and steps, flanked by wisteria-draped hotels, smart restaurants and fashionable retailers. A pearl of the Amalfi Coast, it presents itself as a cluster of pastel houses clinging to the steep ledges of the Lattari Mountains, which reflect themselves in the clear sea below, surrounded by an intense fragrance of lemon and bright and vivid colors of bougainvillea. A maze of alleys and steps with small shops displaying the typical products of local crafts, which, together with the undisputed beauty of the landscape, have contributed to make Positano and the Amalfi Coast famous world-wide. We refer to the fresh linen dresses in style "Positano fashion", the leather sandals, the colorful ceramics and the limoncello.

We had the best day with Maria (aka JLo!) She was amazing & took us to the best spots for shopping, dining & photo ops! This tour was my favorite due to her sparkling personality, the breathtaking sights, incredible history & delicious food! If you book with Rome in Limo in Naples, request Maria. She is awesome!

drblevy13

Absolutely amazing and stress-free trip! Our tour guide Giovanni made us feel welcome and safe. He provided relevant information about the history of the places we visited, and went out of his way to take us to shops and restaurants less traveled by. In Positano, he took us to a restaurant and spoke to the staff that treated us like celebrities. If you want a trip that is stress-free, avoids the usual tourist traps, and has a guide that has your best interest in mind, then do not hesitate to sign up with this company! We also used them to tour Sicily, and Luca, our guide there, gave us the same exact caliber experience. He went so far as to stop in a local pastry shop and order cannolis for my family which I honestly have to say put the ones I have had in New York to shame!

Daniel took us on an incredible journey to Positano, Sorrento and Pompeii. We genuinely appreciated his willingness to make the day special for our family. He was kind and his love for Italy, especially Sorrento, was contagious. Thanks for a wonderful day!

We used Rome in Limo in 2015 to tour Rome and once again, they did not disappoint! This time, we were greeted by David at the Port of Naples for a day-long adventure in Sorrento and Pompei. David was knowledgeable, entertaining and very interested in making sure our tour was everything we wanted. I can't thank Jany enough helping us book this tour and secure us a private guide for Pompeii. It was so worth having someone knowledgeable to help us make the most of our time there. I would recommend Rome in Limo to anyone in need of a private Italian tour!

Fantastic experience all around with Rome In Limo. We used them for a private tour in Rome while on a Med cruise in 2014. After such a wonderful experience back then, we knew they were who we wanted to book with while on our 2023 cruise. I booked a private tour of Positano, Sorrento, and Pompei. All communication was prompt, responsive, and courteous - thank you, Jany! Alex was our driver for the day and we was great! He lives locally and is so knowledgeable and passionate about the area. We met Alex right outside the cruise port in Naples and headed to Positano first to try and beat the crowds. He stopped a few times along the way at overlooks so we could get some great family photos. We had about an hour in Positano on our own. Next, we headed to Sorrento. We had about 1 1/2-2 hours on our own there and Alex gave us a great recommendation for a sit down lunch spot - fantastic pizza, pasta, and caprese! Our last stop was Pompei, where we had arranged through RIL to have a private guide, Rosemary, who took us through the ruins. I definitely recommend paying the extra $ to get the guide in Pompei so you know where to go and really get to learn about the history. Alex got us back to the ship with ample time before the all aboard call and he even gave us a bottle of limoncello. Great experience - highly recommend!

We had a great trip with Maria. We were able to tweak our agenda and we started the day in Positano which was great as we were able to miss some of the major traffic on the Amalfi Coast. We then made our way to Sorrento where Maria showed us around and found the BEST pizza we have ever had. Given our desire to see the towns we opted to skip Pompei which was a better choice for our family. Everything was just right and made for a memorable day.

On May 24, 2023, We did Pompeii, Mt. Vesuvius and Sorrento Tour. Alex was our driver. Alex was able to adjust our tour because of traffic to make the most of our time and make our trip more enjoyable! We had a private tour guide for Pompeii, Rosemary. She was very knowledgeable and made our tour much more interesting. She was well worth the extra money we paid to have a private guide. At the end of our day, Alex, our driver surprised us with a gift of a bottle of Limoncello! We were blown away at his kindness! All in All, I can't say enough good things about Rome in Limo! I would absolutely use them again in the future!

Wonderful day tour of Pompei and the Amalfi coast! Danie was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend this tour if you are looking to see the sites at Pompei, but also want to experience a bit of the Amalfi coast and only have a day to do so.

Rome in Limo was awesome, driver was on time friendly and helpful with getting us from site to site, he even took is to a really nice restaurant for lunch. Just wish we had more time to really soak in the beautiful Amalfi coast. Great, experience we will defiantly be back and of course use Rome in Limo again. Thanks Jany

Our experience with Rome in Limo was top notch from start to finish. Jany in the office was extremely helpful in making our booking and answering our questions. When we got off the ship in Naples, Giovanni was there waiting for our party of eight. Giovanni was extremely friendly and made us feel at ease right away. He knew some great spots to pull over for photos and gave us a good introduction to the area. We enjoyed our stops in Sorrento and Positano, and Giovanni recommended a restaurant in Positano with a phenomenal view. Our third stop was Pompeii, where we got a guided tour from Rosemary. Rosemary was very engaging and informative. Giovanni got us back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. The whole experience was wonderful, much more engaging and affordable than the large organized shore excursions offered by the cruise ship. I would highly recommend Rome In Limo to anyone looking for personalized small group tours!
