5.00The tour guide was delightful, extremely knowledgeable and engaging. He made our kids feel special and prioritized. He made history come alive for them, and that of course is priceless.
Outstanding tour

5.00This was a brilliant tour and the best way to see Pompeii, Herculaneum and Vesuvius easily in one day. Antonino is an amazing guide who brought the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum to life. His knowledge of history and the area is outstanding and he happily answered any questions we had. We wouldn't have covered anywhere near as much ground or had half as much insight into each of the sites if we attempted this on our own. This was probably the most expensive tour we booked on our holiday but it was worth every cent. You won't regret booking!

5.00Driver Domenica was excellent. Brought us to a beautiful winery for a home cooked lunch and wine tasting. Our guide Ilaria was informative and helpful. Communicating with Antonio via WhatsApp made organizing the day very easy. I highly recommend this group!
Antonio is a great guide

5.00Our driver Antonio was extremely knowledgeable about Pompeii, Herculaneum and Mt Vesuvius. He was also very friendly and engaging, I would recommend his tour to anyone wanting a little more than the standard tour at Pompeii. We felt like we learned so much more from him and it was very easy to do as he picked us up at our rental in Sorrento and dropped us off there as well. Thanks again Antonio!
Fantastic!
