Bus driver and guides were excellent throughout. We started off in Rome and made our way along the Amalfi Coast towards Sorrento, with a couple of stops on the way for some Limoncello and chocolate tasting while the driver has a break. We had lunch in this beautiful resturaunt in Sorrento overlooking the sea. The only issue I had with this trip is that a couple of travellers on the tour were 30 mins late in coming back to the bus meeting point after lunch, therefore we lost 30 mins in Pompeii, which only gave us 1 hour in Pompeii and it was very rushed as you need more time than an hour to fully experience Pompeii. It's a shame that other travellers can ruin the experience for everyone else by not paying attention to the meet up times states by the guide but it is what it is.

Everything was great. And the best thing happened to our group was having Marinela (hope I wrote her name correctly) for our guide! Many thanks for her knowledge, kindness and patience.

Everything was exceptional - tour leader, tour guide, driver, lunch, but I was really disapointed in only panoramic tour of Naples because that wasn't mentioned. I asumed it would be at least a short walk through the city, as it was stated on the website that we can 'enjoy shops and restaurants'.

We booked Rome to Pompei and Vesuvio experience for the family of five. Everything went as scheduled. Our coordinator during the trip mentioned several interesting facts about Rome. In Pompei we had our own guide, same while climbing Vesuvio. BTW, our bus stopped by the shortest path to the top which was very convinient. I sincerely recommend this experience!

The Vesúvio tour was really good, and the guide was attentive. The Pompeii tour itself was good, but the guide was not a really good English speaker (we could understand the major part, but sometimes it was not possible to understand her). Eduardo - the general guide - was really sweet with us!

The bus was comfortable and made it easy to get from Rome to Pompeii for a long day trip. Our guide was informative. We chose the no tour option once we reached Pompeii as we prefer to explore on our own. That worked really nicely for us.
