Our guide Claire and the driver were great! The first initial stop after leaving Rome let’s you get a bathroom break and a quick bite to eat for breakfast. After arriving in Pompeii we had a different guide for the tour of Pompeii and her name was Claudia. Claudia was fantastic and kept us engaged the whole time! Would highly recommend Claudia as a guide. Right after the Pompeii tour ends you’ll go across the street to one restaurant to have pizza for lunch if you chose beforehand to get some, the guide will ask you on bus before arriving(it’s a separate charge for the pizza) We thought the pizza was pretty good. After getting back on the bus we stopped at a Limoncello factory and tried samples of things. Then swapped to smaller buses to go up the tight roads to Positano. Had free time there then started the return trip back to Rome. You’ll make another rest stop as same place as before but they’ll have some hot food if you want to buy. It’s a very long trip but worth it!
