We were pleased to have our driver Francesco for the trip. He is reliable, was always on time, drives safely and his english is excellent. We booked Francesco also for our transfer to the airport and again, we were happy to be driven by such a responsible person. As for the Pompei, we have not seen the famous mosaics in the villas, but everything else including trip to Vesuvius was ok. Eduardo with family and friends from Slovakia
Poked through our hotel reception at Piccolo Paradiso. Everything was perfect. The early morning pick up with lovely greeting from our guide Paula. Mario our driver was superb and safely go us to each location. Pompeii was fantastic our archeological guide was brilliant & really brought Pompeii to life. Lunch at the o live & lemon farm was delicious sampling their fresh produce. The highlight…… the lemon cake! Then the opportunity to walk it off climbing 280m of Vesuvius. It was hot and the climb steep but worth it for the views! The descent was a lot quicker! An extra stop at the bottom of mount vesuvius to meet Peter & his lemons. His treats are amazing & he was so friendly. We even bought a bottle of mozzarella limoncello (an Italian take on Baileys)Then a lovely ride home along the sorrentine coast. From start to finish this day was perfect and a highlight of our holiday. Thank you Paula & Mario 🌋🏛️🇮🇹🍋
Very good experience despite the heat! Very good guidance as well! Be sure to be bilingual if you don't already speak English and be in good shape to climb the volcano (you have plenty of time to go up and down, but it's exhausting).
Excellent trip , guides knowledge both on the bus and at Pompeii were fantastic . Had stop offs which were unexpected but great fun . The climb up versuvius was harder than I thought it was going to be but the views made up for it . Great day had by all .
Excellent trip, Pompeii was outstanding and Vesuvius daunting. Our guide Paula was excellent and she explained everything beautifully. The guide that she assigned to us in Pompeii was also excellent and made the nearly 2 hours pass by very smoothly even though it was a very hot day. But the star of the day was the driver Mario who drove us so professionally in difficult streets going up and down to Vesuvius from Pompeii and from and to Sorrento. Great guide, driver, attractions and the lunch was just perfect for such a touristic venue. Thank you
Excellent and well organised tour to Pompei and Vesuvius. We got an assurance from our hotel to book the trip. Good info on the way from Paula. Brilliant guide in Pompei where Roberto told us all to know. Thank you for a good day.
Great trip, very informative guides
Great full day tour with plenty of exciting stops and lots of information about the area. Guides were well-informed and friendly. Bus driver was excellent. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius and a fresh, locally grown Italian lunch. Especially enjoyed the final stop at Terre Vesuviane for locally made lemoncello with a unique twist.
Paola was great! We got to our destinations without issue and with great information on our way. Lunch with the wine tasting was also delicious!
Paola was amazing! She gave us plenty of information and made it very enjoyable. I loved it!
