Tours FROM Rome
 
Visiting Rome for 4 days in November is it possible to take a tour of the Amalfi/Positano coast in a one day excursion. What would the weather be at that time. Can anyone suggest alternative picturesque tours from Rome?<BR>Thanks for your help.

In my opinion this area is hard for the<BR>first timer to drive so you might want to consider a company like Vastours. I<BR>used this tour company last October and<BR>they also offer a day trip to Ostia Antica and Pompeii. Bear in mind that you will be on a bus with 40 others. November weather in Rome/Amalfi is mild but prone to rain. A light jacket should be all you will need, but check<BR>a site like CNN for Italy weather right<BR>before your leave. Have a great trip.

There is some good info on day tours on www.enjoyrome.com<BR>There is so much to see in Rome itself, you won't have any trouble filling in your 4 days!<BR>Kay

Hello Mags,<BR><BR>The Rome coach tour companies like Vastours, Appian etc. all offer POMPEI/SORRENTO or CAPRI/SORRENTO but not the Amalfi Coast as a day-trip.<BR><BR>However it IS doable by public transport with careful planning around bus/train timetables, - though you'd need to make an early start. <BR><BR>[I remember someone last year planned a day-trip from Rome to Positano/Amalfi Coast + Pompei]<BR><BR>A long day, - but logistically feasible.<BR><BR>Let me know if I can be of more help ...<BR><BR>Steve
