Everything was spot on, timing, the tour guide (Mare) who was very knowledgeable and helpful, very friendly. Both Sorento and Pompei was amazing.

Whilst our tour guide and the archeologist were great, the day was quite underwhelming. The itinerary says 2 hours at Pompeii, 1.5hrs of a guided tour and then ample time to explore after that at our own pace. But we left at the 1.5hr mark with no free time to explore. We only saw a very small portion of the site, many of the same things and we didn’t even get to see the amphitheatre or the arena which doesn’t make sense to me. We also didn’t get the opportunity to stop off at the gift shop and buy a souvenir. My husband and I have decided to drive back and pay again to go in and wander around ourselves to see some of the important things mentioned about that I would have expected to see on the tour. We spent more time in Sorrento and having break stops then at Pompeii. Wouldn’t do this tour again.

They have 2 stops to sell you things before taking you to the destination of Pompeii, and they only give you 1 hour and a half of tour in the tourist attraction, in a 12 hour program, the truth was disappointing.

Although the bus ride from Rome to Sorrento was over 3hrs, he guide kept us entertained with lots of info and history along the way. The scenic ride was very enjoyable and we felt safe though it was a winey path. We made a stop at a lookout which gave us a spectacular view of the coast which was a bonus. The driver was clearly v experienced and took us back to Rome punctually. Our local guide Sasha in Pompei was v knowledgeable, made the best use of the 1.5-2hr to into us to the ruin city. We covered about 1/5 of the city and his narration was amazing and left you wanting to come back for more. If you have a day to spare and you don’t want to navigate the speed train, this tour is a MUST.

They sold a guided tour in Portuguese, but did not comply, because they joined us to a group of Spanish speaking, where the guide spoke, sometimes, a portunhol of the worst quality, in the part dedicated to Pompeii. In the section of Sorrento, the guide Enrico respected the customers by speaking Portuguese, Spanish and English equally. Unfortunately, in the most complex section, the archaeological site, the 9-year-old son could not understand anything, becoming frustrated, very sad, because he wanted to know. The guide was insensitive, without observing the context. The service provider's uncompromising with the 9th most spoken language in the world affected a family of 3 people, who paid for two children the price of an adult, disturbing a child, who could be in any amusement park or at the computer, but wanted to take advantage of the knowledge brought with the effort of countless European archaeologists.
