The duration was advertised as 6 hours but it lasted nearly 9 hours. We were given 1.5 hours of free time in Sorrento, which felt like far too much. We walked a few blocks to the coastline, admired it and took some photos, and walked back. We found a restaurant and ordered coffees just to kill time. If you don't mind extremely crowded sidewalks and you like shopping, Sorrento is probably more enjoyable for you. "Visit a Limoncello distillery" = We walked through the distillery where no equipment was being operated, and then entered a large gift shop. They were giving free samples, which was effective because we ended up buying a bottle. When we arrived in Pompeii, we did a lot of standing around and waiting. We had to swap a few people from our group with a few from another group, because ships were leaving at different times. We were told to "explore" before the tour, but there wasn't much in that area besides souvenir shops and tourist-focused food vendors. We would've rather spent that extra time exploring the ruins. When we did finally start that tour, it was fantastic. Highly recommend! Overall, we felt like there was too much wasted time and we wish we would've selected a tour that only included Pompeii.
Dear Guest, we are glad you loved Pompeii! This comprehensive tour is specifically designed with an extended duration to give guests the unique opportunity to experience multiple key destinations in a single day. The timing also accounts for necessary cruise coordination and local traffic to ensure a safe, worry-free return to your ship. Thank you for your feedback.
There is a lot of driving and traffic included in this tour, but you get to spend quality time in Sorrento and plenty of time in Pompeii. Pompeii is huge and you won’t get to see all of it, but you get a great overview. The lunch included was not that great, but it keeps you together with your group for the tour to begin.
This was an excellent day. Our tour with World Tours was amazing. Our guide Luca was excellent, great communication, patient with us and professional. He provided an awesome guide, Anna for our tour of Pompeii.. We would highly recommend World Tours when visiting Salerno, Pompeii and Sorrento Italy. They are the best!!!
We had the best day visiting sorrento and Pompeii with our guide Raffi. Everything was seamless and not too rushed. It was so beautiful and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a mix of history and shopping in a cute town by the sea with wonderful views
Giuseppe Romano was our driver and he gave us a great experience. Very informative. Since we had a private tour he took us to a great place for pizza among the vineyards.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that Giuseppe made your private tour such a special experience with his knowledge and thoughtful guidance. The stop for pizza among the vineyards sounds like a wonderful memory! We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you again for another unforgettable tour.
I can’t express how awesome the guides were! We wanted more time at Pompeii and he was very accommodating. Then the stop at the limoncello factory for snacks and drinks were perfect!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled the guides made your Pompeii visit awesome and were flexible with your time. Glad you enjoyed the stop at the limoncello factory too! Hope to see you again soon for another great experience!
Clemente and our driver, Franco were great. They took excellent care of our family group from the teens, 15 & 17, their mom and us old folks too, 76 & 80. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day with lots of fun and information.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that your multi-generational family had a great experience with us. Clemente is truly a wonderful guide, and we're thrilled to know that his professionalism and friendly approach made the day enjoyable for everyone, from your teens to the "old folks." We will also be sure to pass on your compliments to Franco, our driver. Taking care of every member of a family is something we pride ourselves on, and it means a lot to hear that you all had a day filled with both fun and great information.
Did this with Sandra from World Tours and bus driver Giovanni off of our cruise ship. Excellent tour, was with eight other groups and a great job was done. Appropriate time in places and very little waiting around. Sandra was very personable and a great tour leader.
Thank you for your kind words! We're so happy to hear that you had an excellent experience with Sandra and our driver Giovanni. It's great to know that the timing and organization of the tour met your expectations, and that Sandra's friendly and professional guidance made the day even more enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back on another tour in the future!
My friends and I enjoyed this tour. Federica was wonderful and she explained everything well and answered all our questions.!!!! Sorrento is beautiful and in Pompeii we learned alot. We had a full day and it was great. They got us back to the ship with enough time to venture around the square to get some pizza.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled that you and your friends enjoyed the tour and found Federica’s explanations helpful. It’s great to hear you had a full, fun day exploring Sorrento and Pompeii—and even got some time for pizza before heading back. We hope to welcome you again for another amazing experience!
Federica our tour guide was very informative, friendly, and gave good tips through our the tour. Driver was fantastic as well. Sorrento was a sight to see for how beautiful it was. Pompeii was amazing as well and the guide there was very informative and humorous. The only part of the tour that wasn't the best was the included lunch. I'd rather have time and go somewhere that isn't catered to tourists. But I also understand you have a short window to get so much in a little time so large catered lunches are the solution. Just wish it was a bit better food wise. But I suggest anyone take this tour. You get the see two very different parts of surrounding Naples in one day. I wish we had two days because there is far too much to do in one day at Naples.
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that Federica and the driver made your tour enjoyable and informative, and that you loved the sights of Sorrento and Pompeii. We appreciate your honest feedback about the lunch — it’s always helpful to know how we can improve. We completely agree that Naples and its surroundings have so much to offer, and hopefully, next time you can explore even more with an extended visit. Thanks again for recommending the tour, and we hope to welcome you back for another amazing experience!
