Great overall trip that touches on the major points to see and hear about. Our guide was very knowledgeable and easy to interact with. Recommended for someone who wants a half day trip!

Pompeii was really cool to see other than that our pickup was 1 hour late and we lost some time on our tour

We enjoyed it very much. Tour guide did a great job. Two negatives: 1. There were close to 30 people on tour which limited what we saw. 2. Several people on our bus were picked up outside of Sorrento which made the drive to Pompei about 1.5 hours.

We were here 17 years ago and Pompeii has amazing updates. Our guide was excellent. Smooth, even though our Sunday tour was extremely crowded.
