Wonderful experience. Alessandra was a fabulous guide, very knowledgeable and ensured that we experienced the most from our tour time.
We had a wonderful trip to Pompei. Our driver Claudio did a great job of driving the coach around many tight hairpin bends. Our guide Alessandra was lovely, just the right amount of chat on the coach and very knowledgeable regarding Pompei. My only criticism was meeting the coach in Amalfi, the bus stops were chaos and it would have been helpful for Alessandra to have a board/ flag or some way of identifying her, there were so many buses and minibuses.
Excellent experience from start to finish. The skip-the-line access at Pompeii saved a huge amount of time. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared so much fascinating history without making it feel overwhelming. The Amalfi Coast views along the drive were absolutely stunning as well. Everything was well coordinated, punctual, and stress-free. Highly recommend this tour if you want to experience both Pompeii and the coast in one day.
Excellent experience in Pompeii. Lucia was the most wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgable and made the day in Pompeii truly memorable. Do not miss this tour!!!
This is a definite must-do! Starting with our incredible guide, Alessandra; she is knowledgeable -expert level - on Pompeii. She is truly a wealth of knowledge, friendly and really knows how to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. We have been on tours in Italy multiple times and she is hands down the best tour guide we have ever had. My fiancé and I were truly impressed. Bravo! Our driver Claudio was amazing. The Amalfi road is not for the faint of heart! Hairpin turn after hairpin turn on narrow roads w two way traffic. He navigated them like the expert he is. On the way home from Pompeii he took the Mountain road back to Amalfi. Ok, it’s the craziest ride we have ever been on. Hairpin turns with 4k to 5k sheer cliff drop offs. Claudio handled thousands of turns executing each one perfectly. It was like a whole other tour. The bus was so quiet you could hear a pin drop lol. Overall an amazing experience! Thank you Alessandra and Claudio.
Amazing from start to finish! Bus pick up in Amalfi was on time and it was a nice drive. The tour guide was knowledgeable, funny, and gave us a great experience at Pompeii. We are glad we chose to do this over a self guided tour.
Your tour group cancelled on us due to not enough people for tour-WAITING ON MY REFUND waiting in refund refund refund
We had an amazing time learning about the ancient city of Pompeii with Alessandra. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. Our tour included a stop at Mt Vesuvius for a short hike, and a stop at a jewelry store. Overall a wonderful experience, highly recommend taking the day to do this.
The trip was well organized, picked up in time and driver and guide very good. Pompeii tour was amazing . It was very hot and busy at the sight but the guide was mindful of this and managed to find shelter when explaining the history of the sight. Really worth a visit as the sight , as it has been well preserved, and takes you back to how they lived during this time.
The day trip to Pompeii was wonderful. An easy pickup in Maiori then a scenic drive to Pompeii. Pompeii is much much larger than I ever imagined and it was made better by a great tour guide explaining everything along the way. Pompeii was extremely busy but doing this 'skip the line' tour made it very quick and easy. A truly memorable day.
