We travelled from the US to Italy to visit our daughter, who was studying abroad in Sorrento. We wanted to be sure we made the most of our time with her and opted for the car service from Rome straight to our hotel in Sorrento—it was one of the best decisions we made for our trip. Francesco (aka The Barber) was waiting for us outside baggage, scooped up our suitcases, and loaded us into an impeccable Mercedes van, where comfortable seats and water awaited us. He was courteous, humorous, and filled with information about the various towns and regions we passed through. Recognizing we were also travel weary and time lapsed, he also let us enjoy a rest. By the time we arrived in Sorrento, we took his card with a plan to make him our go-to guide. We had a great time exploring Southern Italy with our daughter, and then tasked Francesco with finding the best pizza in Naples before driving us to the train station for the high speed line back to Rome. Francesco was amazing, not just because he was so professional, but he offered recommendations based on our conversations: which platform to find the best coffee in the Naples train station, who has the best gelato in Sorrento, and even explaining why Pompeii’s incredibly fertile, mineral-rich volcanic soil (thanks to the eruption of Mt Vesuvius) makes for some pretty incredible wine. All in all, we are already planning a return to Italy, and that trip will absolutely include Francesco.

Paolo was a great driver, he was ontime and professional. We highly recommend this tour. Nothing negative to say

Perfect transfer thanks to Francesco!

David_S, Oct 2024
We booked this private transfer from Rome to Sorrento. Our driver, Francesco, was early and waited for us outside of our hotel. He assured us not to rush and allowed us to take our time checking out of the hotel. He was impeccably dressed and greeted us with a warm and friendly personality. He was so informative and educated us about different areas through which we traveled. It made the 3 hour drive go very quickly. We are so happy we booked this transfer and quite honestly Francesco has spoiled us forever with using private transportation! We will definitely be booked again through Viator. You will not be disappointed!

Wonderful experience!

Deborah_c, Oct 2024
What a ride! Francesco went above and beyond for us! Waited while we toured Pompeii. Gave us the names of some amazing restaurants and experiences. Thank you Francesco!

Expensive but nice

Richard_T, Oct 2024
Our train trip from Rome to Sorrento cancelled due to the railroad strike so we had to find another way to get to Sorrento. Francesco was a great driver, arrived early and got us safely to our hotel in Sorrento. That being said… the price was astronomical and if you can avoid this expense I think I would.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Richard, thanks for your review. I don’t think our rates are “astronomical “, it is a private service, provided with english speaking professional drivers, with extremely new vehicles, a door to door service and since 4 passengers it is also economically convenient compared to the train service, it is enough to add the cost of the train tickets to the taxi needed in Rome to go to the train station and the car service needed in Naples to reach Sorrento…this is why just this year we provided over than 200 transfers between Sorrento and Rome. Best regards Frank

Great transport from Rome Fiumicino airport

Thomas_S, Sep 2024
Francesco provided excellent service, relaxed conversation, and strong advice on restaurants. Thanks for a good trip!

Stress free comfort

Donato_F, Aug 2024
What a relaxing trip! The transfer took all the stress of getting from point A to point B all in air conditioned comfort. Our driver was very friendly and informative. We will be using Viator again and definitely recommend them!

Simple, professional and worth it

Joe_C, Aug 2024
We needed to maximize our time in Sorrento and Amalifi coast after leaving Rome and wanted to see Pompeii. This transfer helped us attain all of that. The company was great, really professional and helped us have a memorable experience in Pompeii. Highly recommend!

Excellent

Anna_S, Jul 2024
Great driver! Very friendly and knowledgeable gave us great advice on things to do and see. Will use them again

Not the best experience

KJJ, Jul 2024
Our trip started off well. We felt very safe with the driver’s driving. No complaints there. The only negative was that we didn’t have a tour booked for Pompeii. Our driver suggested us someone he knew but we didn’t have the cash to pay his guide. We kept explaining we didn’t have a card to take out cash but he was persistent. It made us feel pressured and uncomfortable. He told us we had no time limit but after we told him we already booked another Pompeii tour through our credit card, he immediately changed his attitude and said we had to leave by a certain time because his boss called him. He felt that we didn’t trust him. Maybe it was the language barrier. I am not sure. It ruined our mood and experience.

Excellent experience

Todd_C, Jul 2024
Our driver was the best! Friendly and so much fun to be with during the trip. Told us about several restaurants and activities to do.

Great experience

Jade_K, Jul 2024

Stress free travel

Francine_P, Jun 2024
The best most stressless way to travel from Rome to Sorrento. Our driver, Fernando was so professional and easy-going. He made the ride very comfortable for my family. Very nice experience.

Thank you!

Nicole_G, Jun 2024
Great experience overall. Driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. Dropped us at Pompeii for 2 hours. He was on time for everything and it was perfect.

Enjoyable travel day!!!

Danielle_D, Jun 2024
We did the private transfer from Rome to Sorrento with a stop in Pompeii for a 2-hour guided tour. It was perfect for our party of 5. Our driver, Francesco, coordinated arrival in Pompeii with our guide who provided a fantastic tour. Francesco stayed in the van with our luggage during the tour, he provided great information on sights along the way, and recommended restaurants for our stay in Sorrento. This was worth the money; it was an enjoyable and no stress travel day.

Roberto is outstanding!

Brian_M, Jun 2024
Roberto was outstanding!!! He made us feel welcome in Italy and expertly navigated us from Rome to Sorrento. We made a stop in Pompei and he shared both his knowledge and love of Napoli and Pompei with us. We received more than a drive to our destination. We learned about the Campanga region, received recommendations for dining, and feel like we made a friend. Please give him a big bonus. Mr. Brian and the McDonald ladies

Excellent option for private transfer from Rome to the Amalfi Coast

Nina_F, May 2024
Our driver picked us up at our hotel in Rome and drove us to the ferry terminal in Sorrento. The van was very nice, clean and comfortable. The driver was nice and communicative.

Great Ride

Adam_L, May 2024
Driver was great. Arrived on time at the hotel when picking us up and got us to our hotel in Sorrento early - even after a restroom stop.

Great Transfer to Sorrento

John_P, May 2024
Our driver was easy to find at the airport. He was so polite and accommodating. We had one pit stop and were there before we knew it.

Out shuttle from Rome to Sorrento

Leeat_Y, Apr 2024
Our private shuttle was awesome. Francesco was knowledgeable, telling us some history and information of things we saw along the ride. Was very personable, early for pick up, patient to make bathroom breaks, connected us with our tour guide at Pompeii, waited, and got us safely to our final destination. Would highly recommend using this service if traveling with children, as a family, or elders, was a relaxing great way to transfer from Rome to Sorrento. Thank you!

Must stop at Pompeii on way from Rome to Amalfi coast

Aizaz_M, Mar 2024
The driver Francesco was prompt, helpful and courteous and made the trip hassle free. The highlight was the stop at pompeii with our guide Andrew who was exceptionally knowledgeable and shared such great details and intricacies of the different places in pompeii. One of the best tour guides ive ever seen

Wonderful experience! I’m sure I would do again! Leonardo was a fabulous driver… He was waiting right at the airport when we got off the plane, picked us up and took us to our hotel. Even gave us some recommendations for the area :)

Great driver in a nice clean air conditioned car.

Robert_S, Jun 2023
We had a great driver Gianluca E. who was most professional as well as safe and efficient. He was very helpful to recommend places to us while in Sorrento and enjoyable to talk with about local culture and issues during the ride. I highly recommend him and this company.

Professional and friendly.
