  It’s a nice way to see Sorrento and Pompeii in one day when staying in Rome. The Pompeii walking tour was very good.

  The experience was absolutely wonderful. Pompeii and Sorrento are two destinations worth visiting. We must emphasize that the experience was not the same without the extraordinary guides who lead it. In our case Mara de Grey Line, whom we thank for the care, dedication, kindness and special treatment. Likewise, Fabiano our guide in Pompeii, who was absolutely wonderful. Even our driver Marco was impeccable in his work. Thank you so much! 100% recommended!

• Not enough time for Pompeii

  The French and English groups were on the same bus, so the guide repeated the same things in both languages. There wasn't enough time for Sorrento and Pompeii. Especially for Pompeii. Pompeii is quite big and I think we saw very little there. This trip should last at least a couple of hours longer. It's a little too obvious that they don't really care whether you have a good experience or not. They just do their job and and overall it was OK.

  This trip was not what was described on the website. The organizers took so long getting us ready to go that we got less than an hour in Sorento. It was also the only opportunity we had for lunch so we basically took an expensive bus ride to Sorento to scarf down a lunch and had no time at all to see the beauty of the city. So disappointing. The website said we would have two hours in Sorento. Not even close!! The guide was listless and uninteresting. He barely mentioned landmarks and gave absolutely no background or history on anything we saw. We chose an English speaking tour and ended up on a bus with mostly Spanish speaking tourists. English translations were an afterthought. Our bus driver was literally on the phone the entire time he was driving. He would end one call and immediately start another. He used ear buds, but we got to listen to his one sided conversations the entire six hour bus ride. The most annoying and unsafe thing I have ever experienced. The only saving grace of this trip was the visit to Pompeii. The archaeologist guide (not from the tour company) was interesting, knowledgeable and thorough. If it had not been for this leg of the trip, this trip would have gotten 0 stars. We will never take a viator tour again.

• Long day, amazing sights, but very limited time spent in Sorrento and Pompeii

  The pick up at the hotel went well and we were soon on an air-conditioned coach travelling to Sorrento. The views were incredible as we travelled however we had very little time in Sorrento particularly as we were not allowed to eat on the coach so couldn't eat some food on the go and had to go into the Limoncello factory and also find time to grab something to eat in Sorrento- we could say it was because of the traffic that there was so little time, however I believe the traffic is always like that so they should allow more time. When we got to Pompeii we were then taken into a Coral Jewellery showroom, again wasting time for what we had actually come for which was the ancient monuments in Pompeii - it was so quick that we didn't even have time to look in a gift shop, so I missed my usual fridge magnet that I buy at each special destination. The guide and driver were excellent as was the guide that took us around Pompeii - we enjoyed the tour, but people need to book with full understanding of how little time you will get in the locations - 1.15hr in Sorrento and 2hrs in Pompeii but that was with the guide and left no free time at all. Maybe if the day had been a bit later getting back to Rome we could have had more time in the places we wished to see. Final disappointment is that they do not get you back to your hotels, but stop near the metro for you to make your own way back unlike in the morning where they pick you up.

• Nice sights a little Tourist Trappy

  Pickup was no problem and on time, I did feel our time at Pompeii was quite rushed, I enjoyed the content of what we saw but felt I was being rushed along. I would have preferred not to have stopped at the café/gift shop on the way there and the way back, and the cameo gift shop (all felt like a bit of a hard sell tourist stop) and had that extra hour and a half to not feel rushed at Pompeii the actual focus of our trip. I also did not think it was clear we would not get a drop-off Being left in downtown Rome at 8:00 pm. This was not a problem for us as we are familiar with the bus system, however I feel some folk would have been thrown off by this.

• Historical and very enjoyable

  Really enjoyed the tour, the insights about the ruins in Pompei were invaluable. Bruce was our local guide, and he was great. Explaining the history, the geography, and culture of the day. The communication from GrayLine was ok, but could have been better. The limoncello tasting was a waste of time, gap filler. Better advice about timelines too. We arrived back in Rome 8:30pm, which was later than expected.

  Too much bus drive. Why did we go to Sorrento? We didn't see the city. Was it because we had to put some guests out here?? Limomcellos taste was to laugh!!! The bottom of the glass was barely covered. We were asked to eat at a certain restaurant, here we could not get pizza, even though it was on the menu tab!! Pompeii was exciting, but all too short!!!! The last part of the tour was rushed through because we had to return to the bus. We didn't even see the exhibition, and we rushed through the store. We just got to buy an ice cream, which we ate walking on the way to the bus. Both guides Marco and Sascha were really good, so no complaints of them!!! But the composition of the tour was really poor. The price was at the top, 3315 kr for four people.

• Too much bus time.

  Pompeii was interesting. The only thing that was disappointing was there was a lot of traffic so our time in Sorrento was cut short. It was a lot of time on the bus for the amount of time off.
