Excellent Private Day Trip! 10/10!

Chris_P, Oct 2023
This private day trip was EXCELLENT! Exactly what we wanted in a private day tour! Our driver and our Pompeii guide were WONDERFUL! So professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Pompeii was amazing and Sorrento was gorgeous. Plus, we had the best pizza we’ve ever had in our life! I think the only thing we would’ve done differently is after our private tour of Pompeii, we would’ve liked to explore on our own for maybe 30 minutes. (We probably could have done that if we asked but didn’t think about it until we had already left). It’s the perfect day activity! A little tip- we did this our first day in Rome so we were tired and slept most of the long drive, which helped pass the time. 10/10!

Pompeii: past to present

We had a wonderful time with our private guide in Pompeii. She was so knowledgeable. She was able to bring the past to life.

Great tour

This is the best way to tour Pompeii. Delightful and thorough guide, took breaks as needed, knew his stuff!!

Hot in Pompeii

Linda_D, Aug 2022
The heat. Pompeii was on the top of our list to do a tour outside of Rome. August is the hottest month of the year and perhaps not the best time to visit. Site is fascinating and we had a wonderful informative guide Marianne. Piero our patient and skillful driver had to face the heavy bumper to bumper traffic from Rome to Naples. Kudos to him! Eating at Trattoria da Emilia on the waterfront was delight. Every dish delicious, fresh and quick. Great trip

Fabulous day in Pompeii and Sorrento!

Fabulous private tour with no stress. The driver picked us up at our hotel, so there was no worry about where to meet him. he drove us in a very comfortable van to Pompeii where we were met by Carmine, a knowledgeable guide who led us through the fascinating ruins. After a few hours there (we were left wanting more time), we drove to Sorrento where we had lunch and browsed the markets and watched people on the beach. After a set amount of time, we were driven back to Rome and dropped off at our hotel! an Amazing day.

Amazing Pompeii

Rebecca_L, Mar 2022
We loved this tour! It was worth every penny. We didn't want to worry about transportation and all the logistics and everything was taken care of. Our driver was amazing and safe. He got us to where we needed to be on time. We met our guide at Pompeii. Her name was Daniella and she was AMAZING! We loved everything she showed us and was so informative. She felt like family. Then we went to Sorrento and it was beautiful. We had an amazing time. One of our best days in Italy!
