Pompeii Sorrento and Positano Tour
Description
If you’re invested in learning more about Ancient history Pompeii is the place to be. This vast archaeological site was once a thriving Roman city with an estimated 11,000 people. This city accomplished much such as a complex water system, an amphitheatre, gymnasium, and a port. What makes this city so famous is the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. which buried Pompeii in meters of ash. Today it is a well-preserved site with an extensive collection of ruins that visitors can roam freely. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors every year.

The thing that amazed us the most was the punctuality and professionalism of our guides on this wonderful tour, who showed us wonderful and magical places that in summer are difficult to admire in tranquility. I'm thinking of doing it again at Easter with the explosion of spring. ADVISE.
Beautiful 8 hour tour as a couple with my husband. Unforgettable day I can only leave 5 stars, everything perfect from start to finish, what a landscape, what a spectacle
Booking the tour (for just 2 of us) with Angela Grimaldi was easy and straightforward, her responses to queries were quick and clear and she was thoroughly professional and organised. Our driver, in the event, was Angela herself who arrived on time in a large vehicle (I'm not sure what it was as I don't know anything about cars), which was immaculate, very spacious and comfortable, with big windows so we didn't miss any of the sights. Angela was charming, informative both about what we could expect from the tour and the timetable and so on, and about the sights we saw on the way to Positano and Sorrento. When we arrived at Pompeii in the afternoon our guide, Charlotte, was there to meet us and organised our entry without any fuss or bother. She proved to be extremely knowledgeable and the 2 hour tour she gave us passed in a flash. We had a great day, with excellent company, and I couldn't be happier to recommend Angela's firm.
