Love it

5.00I love it, the quick visit to Sorrento was a good surprise and a plus. Pompeii is great, it was unbeliveable to see its ruins and know its history being there and seeing it live.
Happy Family

5.00The tour guides were very knowledgeable, helpful, fun and kind. They made the day even more enjoyable and provided us with interesting facts on our bus ride to Sorrento and Pompeii
Breathtakingly magnificent.

5.00We had an enjoyable day (12 full hours) between Sorrento and Pompeii. Our bus guide and bus driver (unfortunately have forgotten their names) were polite. The stop in Sorrento wasn’t much more than a leg-stretcher, but the views from the ride in and back were breathtaking. Pompeii… was magnificent. Our walking-tour guide, Bruno, was informative and of good spirit. Overall, it ticked all of the boxes and was worth the invested time and money.
Too little time

5.00I would recommend that the tour be only Pompeii because being there in the ruins was way too little time, it should be at least half a day to be able to enjoy it; an hour and a half for a place like that is, I insist, way too little time
Amazing time

5.00We went for the day trip to Sorrento and Pompeii and it was incredible! Sasha and Marco are so incredibly charismatic, kind and you see their genuine passion for these hot-spot! A fantastic experience that I would highly recommend! Early morning start but such good value for money, especially with the spacious coach and the plethora of knowledge all around! The drive is also very sweet and accommodating, fast service, authentic storytelling and all around a good time!!
