Does anyone know of any tours that go to both Pompeii and Paestum on the same day? I read about the Monetti Family in Rick’s Italy and they offer a 10 hour tour of Pompeii, Paestum, and a buffalo farm for lunch, but looking for others that might do a similar tour. We will be leaving Rome early morning May 28 by train and plan to stay 4-5 nights in Praiano. Looks like we could get to Naples by 9:00 AM. Thought we could really save some time by doing both of these on one day if the timing works. Or we could take the speed train to Salerno and try to do a tour from there. Maybe someone has a better plan? Thanks for any suggestions!!

What is departure day like? I wonder if you could do one on the way in and one on the way out. While maybe physically possible, I would have a tough time doing both in one day. You really don't need a tour, the main thing is managing luggage storage.
Also, if you cut one night from Praiano, you could stay in Salerno for a night and do one on arrival day, the next on the morning before heading to Praiano.

How many is 'we' ? Dealing with baggage could be a problem if 'we' is more than 2 people.
If you were to ask my opinion, it would be that you are trying cram too much into one day for it to be enjoyable.
There is 'logistically possible' vs. 'enjoyable vacation day'.
