Loved Positano. Would love more time there. Also would have liked to stop along the Amalfi coast to take some photos particularly when getting into Positano as you are trying to get bus photos.

We enjoyed our day. The bus was a little older and made some loud rattling sounds. The microphone was quite loud and piercing, however our guide gave us interesting facts throughout the trip about the different areas we stopped at.

Great experience, beautiful places to visit and it is much more easier that driving yourself with this crazy Italiens on the road ;p Very well planned trip from Rome, you will also see Monte Cassino from distance and have appropriate amount of breaks for eat and stretch your legs. Of course there were traffick jams but it is what it is in those road conditions. Views from bus are compensating that. Positano, maybe you need a little more time there cause you event cannot walk fast enought in that crowded one route to beach and back. Pompei are stunning and guide Veronica was excellent! To sum up, great trip and if you want to have a little glimpse of famous places outside Rome you will see vulcano and Capri from distance at one trip :)
