A great day

Elisa, the tour guide, was great, and that's saying something since she had to deal with a bilingual group. Daniele, the driver, was very smooth driving on the road to Sorrento, which is a bit complicated The excursion itself was very good, although a bit short in Sorrento; I imagine that if it hadn't been for the traffic, we would have stayed longer In Pompeii we covered 30% of the city in 90 minutes, maybe that's why the city guide was going fast, but it was fine I think that, in general, if it hadn't been for the traffic, the day would have been better, and it had already been quite good

Could be improved

Our guide Elisa has been wonderful, without a doubt one of the best we have had on our trip to Rome. The driver Daniel was also a 10!! The tour in general was good, but the stop at the limoncello factory is totally unnecessary. It is a shame that they took time away from us in Sorrento to "see" the factory, honestly. Pompeii was impressive, although the guide's radio had very little range and that made you miss part of the explanation. Could be better.

A tour that is worth it!!!

A very beautiful tour, heavy and long but it is worth it when you arrive in Sorrento, Tiziano our guide was always attentive to the group, he explains the places of interest in Sorrento very well with a little map that he leaves at your seat, in Pompeii our guide Ariana gave an excellent explanation, very professional, Thank you very much guys, greetings from Mexico!
