“We had a great experience with our Askos guide in Pompeii. Vicenzo brought to life for us how it was in Pompeii at the time of the eruption including all the details of how the city functioned and how it was to live there. He told us a lot about the work of excavating the site and analysing the findings. He was passionate and very funny.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 374 reviews · from $185

Spend seven hours aboard a traditional gozzo with an English-speaking host and skipper, visiting Amalfi and Positano for one hour each. You’ll swim in clear coastal water, enjoy a caprese sandwich, fruit, drinks, and welcome Prosecco, with space for no more than 12 people.

“A great day from Salerno to a swimming spot, an hour in Positano, another swimming spot and an hour in Amalfi then back to Salerno. A large caprese sandwich and water for lunch. Our guide Sylvia and captain John Paulo were fantastic. They were friendly and informative. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great but we still got to enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend this as a way to explore some Towns as the bus system is tricky. Also a great way to swim without having to wade through the crowds.”
