This trip exceeded our expectations. The coach was a bit "budget", being essentially a mini-van. Spent more time in Positano and Amalfi than I thought, although I wished we had even more time. There is no way we could have seen Pompeii and the Amalfi coast on our own. We had a great time. The guide was very knowledgeable as well.

Be prepared to do a lot of walking. I saw sites that I had not seen after walking around on my own for several days. It was a chilly evening, glad I dressed for it. You get left off at the Vatican and will likely want to take a taxi back to your hotel. Public transportation ends shortly after the tour ends so taxi is your best bet. Guide was informative. Many people bailed from the tour as it progressed due to the amount of walking, cold, and the late hour. I'm glad I stayed on the tour.

Great day trip to Florence. I was a cold, rainy day but we made the best of it. If you only stay in Rome for your whole trip then you are missing a lot. Saw the real "David" statue at the museum, as well as the site where it once stood (where it is replaced by a replica). Very informative guide.
