I can't say enough praise about this tour and this company. We were picked up by luxury vehicle. The tour guide Michaela and the driver were wonderful. We went to Pompeii first and then to Naples. We had lunch on the water and it was included and delicious. Then we did a walking tour of Naples. We learnt so much. The guide was so patient while we shopped and so very knowledgeable. They took all the photos we asked for. We got such outstanding service. Then we were driven back to the hotel. It was so wonderful.
