Traveler reviews
Must do experience to Pompeii and Sorrento! Don’t think twice about doing this!
Flawless and amazing trip to Pompeii and Sorrenta -MUST DO! Very much exceeded our expectations! Trip included everything as described and MORE! Very high quality breakfast and lunch. Drivers very knowledgeable and friendly. Guide on Pompeii was great.
Nice Tour guide nice Drivers but could do better
You don't actually go into main Sorrento. Lunch was seafood and mediocre Pompeii visit felt rushed. It was a cruise ship Sunday, so so many visitors. Breakfast is a single croissant with a drink.
You Must Go!
Jaque, Josh, Nobu, and Gino were absolutely fantastic. They made our trip special. From the beginning, everything was personalized. We were in comfortable new Mercedes vans and made our way to Pompeii. Once we arrived, we were taken to the oldest bakery there, which was full of the most exquisite goodies. They took our order for pastries and drinks. Our family had cappuccinos and a variety of croissants. We were then taken on our tour of Pompeii with Geno, he has so much knowledge and explained all of the amazing sites. Then, we were taken by Van to Sorrento. On our way we stopped for pictures in scenic areas, which our guides helped us with great backgrounds. We also stopped at a stand where we had some delicious granita di limone 🍋 and a tasting of Limoncello. Il tè lunch by the sea was phenomenal. We had the best time on this tour and I highly recommend it. I only suggest not to book a tour on a Sunday. There were more people than normal due to it being Sunday but it didn’t dampen our time. I’d have more pictures with food but we were focused on eating it. Fantastico!
An amazing Tour!!
A great day with so much history, good food and amazing views!
Highly recommended!
Amazing experience! Numa took such good care of us, with every detail seen to. From getting us breakfast to a lemon slushi and to lunch. He even had wet wipes for our sticky hands!
