Pompeii and Sorrento in a day. Perfecto!

Rex_M, Sep 2022

Overall wonderful experience! Everything went smoothly exactly as scheduled. Our driver Nick showed up early for our pickup at the hotel. He was very friendly and accommodating. The Mercedes sprinter van was perfect size for our group of 8 people. It was clean and comfortable. Lucio, our guide at Pompeii was terrific. He was friendly and knew all of the interesting history. Having a knowledgeable expert guide at Pompeii brought the story to life! Don’t try to just walk through Pompeii on your own. You will see things but not understand the amazing stories that they tell. We then headed off to Sorrento where we had just enough time for lunch and shopping before heading back to Rome. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for the detailed review! It is wonderful to hear that the logistics were spot on and that Nick was there early to get your group of 8 settled into the Mercedes Sprinter. Having a comfortable, clean ride makes that journey from Rome so much more enjoyable. We couldn't agree more with your advice about Pompeii—Lucio is a fantastic guide, and having an expert really does turn the ruins into a living story. It is so easy to walk right past something incredible without even realizing it if you don't have someone like him pointing it out! We are glad you enjoyed the time in Sorrento for a bite and some shopping before the drive back. Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to see your group again for another adventure!
