Good trip, the guide was amazing, and the driver too, they made a very good team together. the only thing is that I wish we had more time in Positano. However, recommended. 🤩

What a wonderful trip. Our guide and driver were wonderful. It was one of the highlights of our trip. I highly recommend this for a day excursion from Rome. It was so worth it, and having a guide and driver made it so worth it.
