Luigi the driver and his friend — Guillermo, were great at their jobs. They were not very chatty with us, which I liked. Guides always overdo it trying to entice you to join their conversation. I’m glad he told us the important things and pointed places out along the way. I recommend him for people who like to learn, and then Sit back and relax.😎

Both Marco, the bus guide, and Sasha, the Pompeii guide, were very friendly and their explanations were very thorough. Sorrento wasn’t really worth it, but overall it was a very good tour.
