Wonderful Pompei guided tour - It was wonderful. Driver and van were excellent. There were just a few of us and the tour guide was very good at explaining and communicating to us what we were seeing.

Pompeii - From start to finish, Sasa provided an enormous amount of Pompeii history that we do not learn in history books. Sasa's historical explanation of the entire site left us wanting more. Compared to the Pompeii, the USA is an infant! Thank you, Sasa, for a very memorable experience!

This was a great tour!... - This was a great tour! The drive from Sorrento was comfortable and the driver (Tony) was friendly and helpful. Our tour was fascinating. I loved the extra care that our guide took to help us get the best experience and the best details. The small group was perfect, about 12 people. Sasa was our guide. He spoke clearly and he was engaging and fun. He did a great job at helping us to stay in more shaded and comfortable areas during the tour. We’d definitely recommend him.

Pick up at our hotel was... - Pick up at our hotel was on time. Transition to our guide at Pompeii went smoothly. Our tour guide, Frankie, was terrific. Tour lasted 2 hours, all walking and standing. The 2 hour duration was perfect. Not enough to cover the site but enough to get an understanding of how remarkable the site is. Take a bottle of water with you.

Very good tour, especially for the price!! - Wonderful driver picked us up in a beautiful car right at our hotel doors and drove us to our meeting place near the gates of Pompeii. We had to wait for a while for the other six people in our group to arrive, which was the only drawback, however we enjoyed a cup of cappuccino while we sat. Our guide, Anna, was incredibly knowledgeable and showed us important areas with great detail that we never would have learned if touring the area on our own. The same driver, Manuela, drove us back to our hotel after the tour and was kind enough to drive us through a village where some of my husband’s family came from. Just a heads up that Pompeii is obviously an ancient site with lots of uneven surfaces. This is not the tour for anyone who isn’t comfortable walking and balancing on very uneven ground.
