5.00Bruno did a great for Pompeii! Marco was very helpful with our transition to the group. We met up on day 3 after 2 nights in Sorrento. Rides to and from our hotel in Rome worked out perfectly!
Expensive

4.00For what it includes, it is expensive. They add a commercial visit and a 2-hour round trip to see a place like Sorrento in just 1 hour. In the end, you have only 2 hours to visit Pompeii, which deserves much more time.

5.00We were picked up promptly at 7:30 and left for Sorrento. The drive was smooth and accompanied by fun facts about surrounding areas of Italy that we are passing by. Our tour guide in Sorrento and Pompeii was local to the area and clearly passionate about everything he was showing us. The ride from Rome and tour of Pompeii was all included in the price. We got back to Rome around 8:30pm so it was a great day trip to do with your significant other or a friend! Crowds weren’t too bad at this point of the tourist season (First week of June). Would say best for couples looking to get out of Rome for a day.
