Excellent tour. Our guide/driver was on time, courteous and friendly. We got to see the beautiful towns of Sorrento and Positano with time for shopping and lunch as well. Then we went to Pompeii where a local guide gave a highly informative tour which was fascinating. Overall, we very much recommend the tour.
When setting this up, the owner, Tony, responded quickly and helpfully with tips. Daniel, our driver messaged us before we were off our cruise with a pin to let us know exactly where to meet him. This made the start very simple. The licensed Pompeii guide they set us up with did a great job. After Pompeii, Daniel drove us out to Sorento, which was a beautiful drive, although it took a while to get out there. We had about an hour to walk around downtown Sorento, see the coastal views, get some gelato, and see a few shops. We would have enjoyed more time in Sorento, but were limited by having to get back to the boat. Daniel plotted the time great, so we got back in plenty of time. Daniel was talkative, friendly, clearly proud of Italy, Napoli, and Sorento, and very informative. We enjoyed our tour a lot.
We had a wonderful visit to Positano/Sorrento/Pompeii with our driver, Daniel. He was at the cruise port as promised, and saw to our every need. He gave us a lot of information about the area and good advice on selecting what to do. Always willing to stop for pictures of the beautiful coastline, when safe. He took us to a lovely farm that produces olive oil. We sampled various types of olive oil and other products and had a great lunch with an amazing view. Would highly recommend for spending a day in the Naples area.
We had a great time touring the beautiful Amalfi coast. There were some delay in arrival time of our cruise line and change in the number of people in our group, all in the night before our scheduled tour and I was very happy that Toni was able to accommodate all the changes and adjusted the price without issues. It’s a lot of driving from the cruise port in Naples to Ravello, Positano, Sorrento (arrived at port around 10 and had to be back at 5). All are beautiful but we wish we had more time in Sorrento to explore. Our driver Giovanni recommended this local restaurant in Sorrento and it was the best meal we had during this trip. All fresh seafood, pasta and oh so inexpensive! Would recommend this tour to everyone.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure for me to accommodate all the changes especially the late arrival of your cruise ship at the Naples port to rescue another boat in the Mediterranean that unfortunately had to shorten the tour having less time in Sorrento because we are also ver concerned about the local traffic that in the month of August is very heavy. We look forward to welcoming you and your family again in our region in the future and hopefully next time you will stay in Sorrento so we will help you to discover more beautiful places in our region, Best regards Tony Iaccarino
We stopped at each of the coast towns including Amalfi, Sorrento and Positano. We also went to winery at foot of Mt Vesuvius and had tour, did wine tastings and enjoyed a delicious lunch all with beautiful surroundings. Our driver was wonderful! We had great conversations about cultural differences and he explained a lot about living in Italy. We would highly recommend!!
Wonderful communication and first class customer service. Highly recommend. All communication was done through email and responses were prompt!
We were in Italy a few years ago and I always meant to write this review and put it aside and when I looked for his info for a friend who is going this summer I knew I had to. First and foremost, amazing service for my husband and I and another couple and their daughters. Picked us up in Naples and too is to Sorrento. Arranged for an amazing guide for Pompeii and then took us there and introduced us to her and after our truly amazing time in Pompeii, we went to a charming winery at the base of Mt Vesuvius for a tour and an amazing lunch set on the expansive patio with wonderful hosts. We will be back and use him again, thanks Tony!
We had an amazing experience thanks to Tony and his team. From the beginning Tony was great in answering all my emails promptly as we made arrangements for our trip including hiring private guide to Pompei! He even reassured us when we were unsure how the train strike would affect us. Johnny was an absolutely a great driver, spoke english and always prompt and courteous! He went out of his way to stop for pictures and allowed us time to explore and made great dinner recommendations. We were thrilled when he stopped at an olive oil farm/factory on the way to Positano and Amalfi! He and Enrico were very knowledgeable and provided insight on life in Italy! Enrico made sure we boarded our train on time. I highly recommend them as it was recommended to me!
This service is the best!! We found them 5 years ago and used them for a second time this year!! The drivers Giovanni and Johnny were both knowledgeable about the area and professional. The vehicles were clean and comfortable. I would recommend them to anyone traveling in this area of Italy!! Thanks again for a great experience!!
Special thanks to @tonyiaccarino_sls for their exceptional service. Anyone planning to visit Amalfi/Positano/Pompeii must check their services/offerings. We were absolutely blown away by their professionalism, and exceptional customer service. Tony, the owner, guided me they the entire process including picking the train Mr Enrico was already at the station when we got there. He was extremely driven to give us the best experience while making sure we cover all the attractions in time. He took extra efforts to take us to the less visited overlooks, which gave absolutely stunning views while being totally uncrowded. Mr Enrico also modified the sequence of our trip taking into consideration the national holiday, hence saving us from traffic jams. Enrico also took us to a restaurant with stunning views and absolutely amazing food. We all appreciated his warm and witty demeanor. Hope to hire their services again.
