Pompei is a must-do, but it is very big. I wish I had done some research before going so we could get around the grounds more efficiently. The Palace was amazing and the gardens were impressive. We did self-guided audio tours at both places although a tour guide was offered at Pompei. Our driver Andrea was very friendly and dependable.
Thank You sono much
We spent a fantastic day with our driver Andrea. He was punctual, spoke excellent English and got us through Rome traffic and back with no issues. We also requested that he recommend where to eat. Since we were not familiar with either city, and we guessed he has made this trip many times, he would probably know better than us and did he ever! He suggested that we eat near Caserta (walking distance from the palace) at a place called "PizzArt" and it was simply divine! Pompei was massive, a full-blown city and we chose the audio tour versus the guide. In retrospect, a guide might have been a better option, but none the less, walking the streets that the ancients did, you got a feeling for what life was like and all about. Walking the palace and the park at Caserta was the highlight for me. The fountain fed by a waterfall was simply an amazing concept and it did not disappoint. It should be understood that both places are massive and each one could take you a week to absorb, but still this is an excellent tour if you want to gain a feeling for how and why things were, plus worth if you don't even go to any other place besides PizzArt! Thanx Andrea for a wonderful day that we will keep in our hearts for lives.
Thank You soo much
Outstanding tour with a great driver...we enjoyed the day! And the tour of Caserta was a bonus. We would definitely book this again.
I booked this tour with my great tour to visit pompeii and caserta with my friends. I spent an intense and interesting day the excavations were really worth seeing and understanding the history, thanks to our guide Elena who was fantastic in explaining. We then visited the Royal Palace of Caserta, we also admired a beautiful palace complete with a tour guide. I recommend this tour and I recommend my great tour for the accuracy and friendliness we had.
Had a great time at The Reggia of Caserta and Pompei. Our driver Andrea was a nice person and his english was perfect. Our guides in Pompei and Caserta were very prepared . We recommend this tour.
