The tour was great there was a guide on bus that told you a Little about what you were seeing and a bit of history. Only wish we could have stopped at the top of Mount Vesuvius. Tho you do get to stop at an observation spot for a few quick pics. The guide we had at Pompeii was excellent she was very knowledgeable and fun. Also she tried to keep you in the shade as much as possible. The pizza place was alright only problem is drinks weren't included and it's 4 euros for a coke. There then that it was an awesome experience!

Everything was very well organized. The guides were very nice and friendly. The guide in Pompeii was also nice and conveyed the knowledge well. The food was great, but I would have liked them to explain to us what exactly was on the table. On the Versuv we went up by bus and straight back down again. We would have liked to have been able to walk up a bit more. All in all, a very nice trip, as long as you don't mind long (very long) bus rides

It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Many thanks to our guide, Antonini, who explained everything with love and patience and took care of us, to Luca, the driver for making our journey comfortable and smooth and to Willy, our guide in Pompeii, with a great sense of humor, who made the visit very enjoyable. Thank you for everything and for taking such good care of us. Grazie per tutti! A big hug!

    Christian may be the best bus driver in the world! My guy has got skills, not only did he get us there and back I was so impressed I just had to tip him 20 Euro for a safe travel day! Mara was incredible, friendly and outgoing, she was extremely knowledgeable not only about destinations but sites along the way. She enhanced the ride by providing us music that was born from the locations she was telling us about giving us a deeper appreciation for the entire country of Italy and not just our paid destination spots! I would definitely recommend these two together if you're lucky enough to get them!

    The Trip is designed in a bad way. Transfer to Sorrento takes a long time so finally you have only 1 hour at the city which is mostly used for the lunch (only opportunity to eat) then heading back towards Pompei takes another hours. As a result you have only about 2 hours for visiting Pompei (which, when you do not know the place, is hardly enough for even a quick tour), and almost no time to walk around Sorrento. Perhaps starting trip a hour earlier would give some additional time and probably help avoiding morning traffic jams when leaving city.
