A must do experience! - We have traveled extensively and have vast experience with different types of tours. This was an amazing tour and worth every penny! First things first the group size was small and intimate which was fabulous. The day starts off with breakfast near Pompeii which was so yummy and our guides Jack and Luca provided fabulous recommendations. From there the time at Pompeii was wonderful, the guide Elsa was informative and fun- not too much or too little info. Then after that we headed to Sorrento and stopped for limoncello overlooking the coast. Jack volunteered to take so many wonderful pictures. Then we had lunch at a wonderful pizza place. Lunch included alcoholic beverages, food, and desert. Our guides Jack and Luca were wonderful! They were kind, safe, and most importantly fun. They made the entire day and overall experience- without them the day would’ve been so different. We are really grateful for this wonderful memory and would recommend this to anyone looking for a day trip from Rome!

A Unique & Incredible Tour Experience - The core of this tour was a fascinating tour of Pompeii led by a very knowledgeable and personable guide but the full tour experience was truly amazing as our tour company (Crown) made a number of delightful stops for a delicious breakfast and lunch, special photo opportunities, and other unexpected experiences in and around Sorrento that made for a truly unique and memorable day. Had the time of our lives! Highly recommend this tour!

Great Full Day Excursion! - Excellent guides and well planned day. Our guide in Pompeii did a great job of explaining the history and navigating us to many points of interest. The tour felt a bit rushed, but we were able to pause and enjoy as we went through the amazing site.
The restaurant selections were very good, snd let us try some tasty local favorites. Our guides did a wonderful job explaining the options and we never felt rushed.
Also, the mini van was very comfortable, which was good because you are in it for several hours getting to Pompeii, Sorrento, then back to Rome.
The only complaint is we got mixed messages on how early to arrive for check in (from 15 to 30 minutes). We arrived 30 minutes early, no guides and the office was closed. Fortunately there was an open coffee shop across the street so we had a cappuccino while we waited. The guides arrived maybe 10 minutes before our scheduled departure. The check in was fast and we hit the road before 7:00am If we did it again we would aim for 15 minutes early.
