5.00Tony is an exceptional driver. He made us feel comfortable and was very informative. He drove us from Naples train station to Pompeii where we were met by our guide Francesco who was a master at his role! Pompeii was amazing! Tony then met us and took us to a wine tasting near Mt Vesuvius. The experience was excellent. Tony then drove us to our hotel in Sorrento. We highly recommend this service!
Excellent Tour!

5.00Wow, this was a GREAT experience from beginning to end. It starts with our driver Giovanni (or Johnny as we heard locals call him). He was fantastic and I would recommend folks ask for him. Lots of local info about towns, sights, life - a perfect mix of info from a driver who was like a "host". He took us to Pompeii, where we met Francesco, our guide. Francesco's wealth of Pompeii knowledge and the way he delivered it was wonderful. We learned so much in such a short time. Very friendly, professional and had a great personality. My husband was in a mobility scooter and Francesco made sure my husband could see everything and got thru crowds that were not moving for him. The next stop was Mt Vesuvio - Giovanni took us to the top and then thru the crater. Just marvelous views. And a stop at a great look out point to take some stunning pictures spanning from Naples to Capri. Our last stop was for a "light lunch" and wine tasting at Cantina del Vesuvio. The light lunch idea is sort of silly, we think of a salad and soup... they think plates of food, more food, pasta and meatballs, then dessert! Food was delicious but the wine was even better. We purchased a lot and had it sent back home to the US. I HIGHLY recommend this tour!
Excellent tour!!

5.00We had a great experience using the private transfer ( Laccarino Sorrento Limo Service)! It was our first time in Italy for our honeymoon. We had a private transfer to pick up us at Naples Train Station to our hotel in Sorrento. Along the way we stopped at Pompei and a Winery for a wine tour and lunch! Our driver Giovanni (Johnny) was so friendly and from Sorrento! We really enjoyed hearing about Sorrento and suggestions. Would absolutely recommend a private transfer!! At first I didn’t understand what a private transfer was, but the roads into Sorrento are very windy and can easily feel nausea if you get car sick. So much better than getting a taxi with no air! Would highly recommend!!!
A most excellent day!

5.00Our driver Johnny was fantastic. He picked our family up in Sorrento in a very comfortable Mercedes van. He was a pleasure to talk with and ended up being one of our favorite tour guides. He has very extensive knowledge of the area and its history. Speaking of tours, Rosemary was our tour guide for Pompeii. She was very informative as an expert on Pompeii and it showed. One of the most interesting places I've visited in my lifetime. Overall, my family highly recommends this tour. Its worth the money. Everything was very smooth. We also liked that fact that we started early on Vesuvius to beat the crowds.
Great Tour

5.00Our driver, Johnny/Giovanni, was excellent. He stopped for us to use the restroom and stopped at areas that he felt would be good to see and take pictures. He drove very well and I felt safe in his van. He was very informative and pleasant to be with during our tour. We had Rosemary at Pompeii and she did a nice job with our tour of Pompeii, catching the highlights of the ruins. I would definitely use this limousine service again!
Lovely tour

5.00Our driver, Giovanni, with Iaccarino Sorrento Limo service was excellent! He spoke fluent English and had much history to add to our trip! We had a walk up Mt Vesuvius, but it was foggy & we were unable to anything, unfortunately. The Pompeii tour was very interesting, but our guide Rosemary was a little hard to understand. The lunch and wine tour was very tasty & a nice way to end our day.
Excellent day in Pompeii and Vesuvius

5.00Tony was amazing!!! We toured Pompeii and he set up a wonderful Archeologist for a private behind the scenes tour. Then drove us to Vesuvius for wine tasting/lunch. It was truly memorable. We sang with him as he gave us the lyrics to “That’s Amore’”, took us but an olive tasting/producing factory on a whim, then gave us a bottle of Limoncello from Sorrento. I would recommend him to ANYONE visiting the area! Julie
