Visiting Pompeii was a unique experience. Our guide at the archeological site, Rosa, was very knowledgeable. Walking through the ruins transported us to the life just before the volcanic eruption. Sorrento was the cherry on top. Beautiful town and the Amalfi coast was fantastic. Our driver Paolo was very skilled, navigating the narrow and windy roads with supreme confidence. Throughout the day, our guide Antonino was friendly, knowledgeable and funny. A experience highly recommended!!!

Everything was perfect, definitely worth of money. Special thanks to Flavio (the guide) and the driver Julio for tremendous experience. We were in Pompei for one hour and a half and it’s breathtaking. Especially when you know that it’s from 2000 years ago. I think 4 hours would be enough to explore the whole place. In Sorrento, we spent 2 hours and it was lovely and enough to explore the city. To conclude, this tour is highly recommended!

We had an excellent time on the tour. It was in February, which was low season. We felt the time spent in Pompeii and Sorrento was appropriate and did not feel rushed, and even had a short stop for limoncello tasting. Really loved our guide, Paola, and driver, Enrico, they were phenomenal.
