Small-group Capri boat tour with grottos, Faraglioni views, swimming time, snacks, and round-trip train transfers from Rome.

“This would have been the highlight of my trip to Italy but we never got to go. The trains were delayed due to an issue they had and our trip was cancelled. I really would have loved the option to still go but leave later in the day but that was not an option as “the transfer driver can only wait until 9”. I am not going to be dramatic and say this ruined my honeymoon, but honestly I was extremely disappointed about not being able to go. I could not reschedule as offered because we are leaving too soon.”

“Wonderful trip to the Amalfi Coast. Easy transportation from Rome! We felt like we had enough time (1-1 1/2 hours) in Amalfi and Positano. The boat driver was excellent at navigating the water and the super busy ports. The other assistant was friendly and engaging. I would highly recommend it! Would have been nice over a 14 hour day to have more than just a sandwich provided. They had water, Coke, wine/beer. Would have loved a Coke Zero - felt like they could have asked ahead of time requests for beverages.”

14.Pompeii Express Day Trip: High-Speed Train from Rome

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 31 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $149

High-speed train from Rome to Naples, coach to Pompeii, skip-the-line entry, and 5 hours to explore at your own pace.

“The trip to Pompeii was absolutely worth it. Exploring the ruins on your own gives you the freedom to take it all in at your own pace, and there’s so much to see that self guiding is actually the best way to go. Also a little hint, there’s free water fountains around Pompeii. Mostly on the main walking areas and few off the beaten path. Which comes in handy when your walking a lot and get thirsty. So bring a water bottle or two so you can fill up. An enjoy the site. The tour guide, in this case Carlos, primarily helps with logistics getting you on the right train,…”
