Then, once passed Duoglio and Santa Croce beaches, you will stop by the "Arc of Lovers", a natural rock arch created millions of years ago by the erosion of the sea whose shape recalls two elephants in the act of kissing.

Very good experience for a single day. Both the guide (Rob) and the driver (Giulio) are excellent, and very prudent, they take care of you at all times, they are very attentive and very friendly and fun. Also my guide in Pompeii, Willy, the visit was very good, Pompeii is very big and we only saw 20% but it is a good introduction. Worth it.

Our guides were amazing - sensational driving on a challenging road handled expertly So knowledgeable and lots of fun Such a great atmosphere with the group Even though lots of things are closed in the off-season, there is still plenty of things that are open and lots to see and do. The weather was sensational

We did the Pompeii and Naples tour and enjoyed it immensely. It was a busy day but a great way to experience 2 major attractions in 1 day.

A great day combining the incredible history of Pompeii and the stunning Amalfi Coast, finished with an authentic Italian lunch.

verry nice alls, verry kindly guide Chris, good driver-the best of the world, Domenico
