    For a quick trip to the ancient city, this was a great choice. Our guide was Francesca, who was informative and humorous. The ruins are crowded with tourists, but our guide didn’t seem rushed or worried about the crowds. Everything ran smoothly and we got a good sense of the highlights in about two hours — it would take days to see it all. We also had a little time for cappuccino before and after the tour.

    Our trip to Pompeii was excellent, it started off with a wonderful drive to to the site from Sorrento. Our driver was such a lovely man, he showed us the lovely sites on the way to Pompeii and the views on some parts of the journey was amazing. Arriving at Pompeii we had a great tour guide, she was interesting and I just loved walking around, listening to the stories from the guide. Then on the way home our wonderful driver stopped off at the limoncello factory for us to have a look at the stunning views for a photo session then we went in the limoncello factory for a few tasters of their gorgeous limoncello. I would recommend this trip to everyone it was a lovely day and we really enjoyed ourselves

    We were picked up on time from our hotel. Our tour guide was excellent and made the tour very enjoyable. Lots of opportunities for photos. Prompt drop off back to the hotel after. We had 2 hours inside Pompeii and as general tourists with just an interest in seeing Pompeii this was plenty. Definitely recommend this tour
