Great day in Pompeii and Sorrento!
Maria was wonderful. Great with our college age kids, very knowledgeable and a pleasure pt be around. Our driver was also very accommodating and helped make the day very enjoyable.

A day in Positano, Sorrento, and Pompei
We were met by our driver Pari at the cruise terminal and then drove to Positano for an hour-long visit there. Next was an hour in Sorrento. After that we drove to Pompei for a delicious lunch (not included in fee) after which Pari turned us over to Lelo for an absolutely amazing tour of the ruins. He was one of the best guides we've ever had. Overall a really wonderful day, just know that it's going to involve a lot of driving, much of which is on winding coastal roads that can induce carsickness. Prepare for that if you are sensitive.

NOTE - this is only a driver
Imagine booking someone to drive you all around the Amalfi coast and they only stop 2 times! The driver wasn't friendly, didn't answer hardly any questions, didn't try to make us feel welcomed, and made our dream day at Almalfi rather dull. The same went for Pompeii tour. I just assumed when you guy a "tour" it means you would actually get a tour guide. Disappointing.
Operator response
Dear Jennifer, Thank you for sharing your feedback. However, after a thorough check of our records, we cannot find any reservation under your name. Our Amalfi Coast tours specifically include a private driver, a professional archaeologist for the Pompeii tour, and all necessary entrance tickets. If you did indeed book with us, we kindly ask you to contact us privately so we can look into exactly what happened. As mentioned, we have no record of a "Jennifer" in our archives for these services. Please reach out to us within a week to clarify this matter. If we do not hear from you, we will be forced to take formal steps to have this review removed, as it does not appear to reflect a genuine experience with our company and is causing undue damage to our reputation. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, Maria

Our party of six had a wonderful day. The roads were windy and one of us became car sick. Our driver Marco was very kind and courteous, offering us alternatives. Our tour guide Italo was very knowledgeable. And we can't speak highly enough of Marco who saved our day and recommended a wonderful winery to see on our way back to the ship. Well done to all!

Positano, Sorrento and Pompeii!
Marco was such a good and attentive driver. It was so relaxing having him take us around the bay. And Clelia, our guide in Pompeii, was AMAZING! So knowledgeable and funny! It was the highlight of our trip!

Great day!
Great day! We had a terrible weather day, but one of the best drivers I've ever had (Gio? Guido?). Our guide at Pompeii was exceptional as well.
C
Amalfi coast and Pompeii tour
Our guide, Ítalo, was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and personal. Our driver, Marco also did an excellent job navigating difficult roadways. We loved the Skip the line component of the trip as crowds were heavy in Pompeii.

The best way to see Amalfi coast and Pompeii in a day.
Our driver and guide Paulo was fabulous. A road blockage kept us from going to Positano so we went to Amalfi and Rovelo. Pompei was amazing. Our guide there was informative and fun. This tour is a must.
K
Amazing tour!!!
Amazing driver Mario! I wouldn’t drive the Amalfi coast! Our Pompeii tour guide was great and customized the tour to meet our needs and timing. We will definitely be back and use them again.
