Super recommended!!!

Excellent experience! We moved from Naples to Sorrento and there we travelled for 8 hours. Our driver and guide Eugenio is super recommended, at all times he was teaching us different things, gave us the freedom to tour wherever we liked, recommended places and was always attentive to our well-being and comfort. It should be noted that I traveled with my very old parents who were more than grateful for the attention and that all the time he took pains to speak our language so that the 3 of us could understand what he explained. Ahhh we also forgot a cell phone in his car and he worried about returning it. Thank you Eugene!

Excellent experience

The trip was excellent, perfect organization, perfect attitude, many thanks to Gino, our driver who was very kind, competent and attentive and to our personal guide at Pompeii Nensi (apologies if I am misspelling the name) who gave us so much interesting information and helped make this a remarkable trip to this amazing place. The restaurant Caupona is also worth it as it has unique atmosphere and good service. Overall we are completely satisfied with the trip.
