Awesome and Fabulous experience. Highly knowledgeable tour guide Desiree. Highly recommended. Brought our 100 year old Dad who is celebrating his 101 years (birthday day is on 08 26 2026.
Desiree was more than fabulous! We enjoyed her enthusiasm
This tour company is punctual and has good communication. We loved Pompeii and Sorrento. We decided to add the tour guide at Pompeii because it was so large and we only had 1.5 hours. The guide was amazing and rushed us through giving just the right amount of information. A couple things to be aware of: They moved our tour to the 6:50 slot from 7:30, so watch your WhatsApp notifications. They also play get-to-know-you games on the bus (ie come to the front and introduce yourself, etc...), which is great for some people, but if you are an introvert, you may be uncomfortable.
We had an exceptional Experience and our guide Desiree was highly knowledgeable and fun.
My family and I had a wonderful day thanks to Desiree. The trip was perfectly organized and we are taking home wonderful memories 😊
