sorrento tour of Vesuvius, Pompei, and winery lunch
Pippo and Roberta were both excellent.
Pippo especially was great and went the extra mile for us, sourcing entrance tickets, supplying lemoncelo, and generally amusing us.
My one note of caution - and this is entirely my fault for not reading smallprint - is that although clearly called a tour of Vesuvius, Pompei and lunch, none of those are included in the actual price.
You are paying for an excellent guide and driver/car combo but not the experiences themselves.

Dear Davis,
Thank you for your review and for highlighting the great experience you had with Pippo and Roberta! We are so glad that Pippo’s efforts—from sourcing your tickets to sharing some local limoncello—made your day special and fun.
We also truly appreciate your 'note of caution' regarding the inclusions. As a private transportation and tour company, our rates cover the professional driver, luxury vehicle, fuel, and personalized assistance. We prefer to leave entrance tickets and lunch separate so our guests have the flexibility to choose their preferred winery or spend more or less time at the ruins based on their interests.
Your feedback is invaluable, as it helps us make our booking descriptions even clearer for future travelers. We are thrilled that, despite the misunderstanding, you found the 'driver and car combo' to be excellent!
We hope to welcome you back to Sorrento soon for another memorable day.
Warm regards,
Nello & the Eurolimo Team

Three great experiences in one day
A memorable day out from Sorrento! Driver Alberto was our host - full of information and great to talk with.
Giada was our guide at Pompeii and we learned so much from her. Two hours there barely scratches the surface.
Some initial problem with the Vesuvius tickets, but the Eurolimo staff, including Nello, were very helpful with this.
Climbing the uphill 1/2 mile to the volcano rim requires some exertion, but it's worth it.
Lovely winery (Casa Setara) after, with a great lunch.
Not an inexpensive day but one we will long remember.

Excellent day trip itinerary
Both driver Alberto and Private Pompeii Tour Guide Caterina was excellent. We were a group of 4 and they arranged a Mercedez V class, so it was spacious. There was some confusion during pick up about tour guide arrangement but it got resolved when Alberto called their office. Alberto gave us bottles of water and reminded us to stay hydrated for the tour and the hike. He also helped us cross the busy road so we can take nice Sorrento scenery selfies. Caterina gave us a wealth of information, moved swiftly in front of all the other tour queues, and guided us to clean no queue restrooms. We skipped the winery (nondrinkers) and opted to have a nice sit down lunch suggested by the tour operator. You really need that lunch break after the hike. I got my own entrance tickets to Pompeii and Mt. V, but I would suggest having it as an option to be included in the tour. I had difficulty acquiring Mt. V tickets online through the official website so had to buy from third party, which wasn’t emailed to me for download until the day before the tour. We had a great day. We used the same company to arrange our transfer from Naples and another full day trip to Matera+Bari.

Day of Sightseeing
This was an excellent day of seeing many sights. Our guide for Pompeii was excellent. She showed us all the important spots and gave excellent information about each. Then on to Mt. Vesuvius for a great hike. The trail is all gravel, so go gripping shoes are helpful. After a little exercise we were driven to a winery for lunch and a little wine tasting. What a wonderful day and great way to end the day at the winery. I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing City Tour with Pippo
We booked our tour with Eurolimo as they boast positive reviews all round. Our day started off with a tour of the Pompeii ruins and followed by a beautiful scenic drive to Mt Vesuvius with fantastic panoramas of the city. We were then transported to a world renown winery where we were fortunate enough to sample some of Sorrento’s finest wines with an unbelievably gorgeous view. Pippo was our driver for the day and he really went out of his way to make our experience memorable. His superior knowledge of the city, and history that goes with it, made our day an unforgettable experience that we recommend to everyone touring the city! Pippo made us laugh at every turn and brought the city’s history alive. We will never forget our tour thanks to Pippo! Cinque Stella!

Highly recommend for a great tour and ease of transportation!
We had a great tour with Eurolimo! Very accommodating company, super responsive when emailing about options for the day with Pompeii, Vesuvius and winery timing. Alberto was our driver and gave us great information along the way, and made sure we were taken care of throughout the day. They set us up with our tour guide for Pompeii, Ornella, and she was amazing! We requested a child friendly guide since we have kids 7, 12, and 14 and she was wonderful with the kids but also gave interesting info for the adults.
We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel in Naples and taken care of the entire day. Highly recommend booking a day with them!

Unbelievable Tour of Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius
We met Pippo, our private driver for the first time today. He was so nice and knowledgeable. Pompeii was our first stop. He got us connected to our private tour guide for Pompeii. She was amazing and knew so many details about the buried city. After our tour of Pompeii, Pippo drove us up to the top of Mt. Vesuvias. He made us feel very safe while driving up the curvy and narrow roads while explaining what ea h statue represented. Pippo is also very funny, which made the tour even more enjoyable. After Mt. Vesuvias, Pippo took us to a vineyard. We felt very special all day and could not have asked for a better experience.

PIPPO IS THE BEST!
We had an amazing time on our tour! Pippo was the best host we could imagine. He was ready for us when we arrived, and immediately put smiles on our faces. Pippo was taking us to our first stop at Mt. Vesuvius when we realized we didn’t book our tickets correctly for the excursion. Pippo made several phone calls and was able to get our problem solved and not miss any part of our day. He took us on a beautiful drive to Mt. Vesuvius, explaining some history of Italy and pointing out landmarks along the way. He was very passionate about his work and educated us about what we were seeing. Pippo truly felt like a friend to us. He never made us feel rushed and wanted us to enjoy every second of our day, which we did. He also arranged a last minute tour guide for us while we visited Pompei. Pippo went above and beyond for us and helped us have an amazing experience. I really hope Pippo knows how special he is and what he meant to us. He was a huge part of us having such a wonderful experience and we will never forget our time with him.

Wonder Private Experience
Pippo is amazing!!! He picked us up from our hotel and drove us to Pompeii. During the drive, he shared his knowledge about the region and what we could expect. The private guide was waiting for us at Pompeii. He took us around the sites and shared detailed information on what we were seeing. The hike to Vesuvius will make you sweat but it is well worth it once you see the views from the top. We had a perfect day and could see for miles! The winery was a perfect ending to the afternoon. The wines were amazing and the atmosphere/views spectacular!! This is a must do for anyone wanting a private experience.
