    Nelo and Luigi were the best. Nelo was funny and very knowledgeable and Luigi got us to our destination safely.

    The guide was informative and pleasant. The audio was necessary due to the large size of the group. The group size was too large and entry was chaotic. The promise that we would skip the line was false. It took more than a hour to reach the entrance and only half of the group made it through. We purchased the option to go to Vesuvius but were too delayed by the chaos to make it. People not in our group were pressing upon us. It was dangerously crowded. At the end of the day the train line had a mechanical problem and over 1000 people had accumulated at the station. No one could tell us how to get back to Sorrento.

    An unforgettable excursion to Pompeii and Vesuvius Our excursion to Pompeii and Vesuvius was a real highlight of our trip - a perfect combination of impressive history, breathtaking nature and warm company. The guided tour of Pompeii with Vincente was simply fantastic. He guided us through the fascinating ruins of the ancient city with a great deal of passion and an enormous wealth of knowledge. You could feel his passion for history in every explanation. Vincente managed to bring times long past to life - exciting, understandable and always with a smile. After a short drive, we continued on to Vesuvius. Here, too, we were well accompanied - tour guide Mimi delighted us with exciting facts about the volcano. Her stories were informative, entertaining and gave us a great insight into the nature and history of the region. Once we reached the top, we were rewarded with a spectacular view over Naples - simply breathtaking! A big compliment also goes to our coach driver Gigi. He drove us through tight bends and the sometimes challenging road traffic with absolute calm, aplomb and a safe driving style. Thanks to him, we felt completely at ease and safe during the entire trip. All in all, this day was perfectly organized and will remain in our memories for a long time to come. Many thanks to Vincente, Mimi and Gigi - you made this trip something very special!
