Miriam was the best guide that we had while here in Italy. Not sure if you can ask for here , but it is worth trying - Personal driver and tour narrator were great. Pickup near our hotel since traffic was not allowed in front of hotel. Visuvius and Pompeii were more than expected. Tour was private only for four people. Miriam was such a great guide at Visuvius. She was absolutely the best.

Mellancello Surpise - ask Gennaro… - Our driver Gennaro was very professional. Great communication on where to meet and greeted us with a very warm welcome. Awesome local knowledge. Definately do the winery lunch, the red wine is amazing. The tour guide of Pompeii was very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this tour, request Gennaro as your driver for a really good time.

Vesuvius & Pompeii the right way - We loved our tour of Vesuvius and Pompeii! Our driver Giuseppe arrived early and navigated through Naples like a pro. So glad I didn’t have to drive! We had a great time hiking the rim before all the other buses got there. Giuseppe knew we wanted to spend as much time in Pompeii as possible so he found us a quick pizza in town (and spritz for me) before our visit. Pompeii is amazing and our guide did her best to duck and weave through the crowds to give us the best possible experience. Props for making this a great day! Thank you to Sofia for handling the logistics and our requests!

Excellent - This is an exceptional day trip with a visit to the top of Mount Vesuvius then a guided experience to the Pompeii ruins. We were also treated to a winery lunch as an optional extra which was a lot of fun . Our driver Dino was great . He managed the time scheduling of the day really well and was a wealth of knowledge regarding the historical events. Naples is a very busy city and this was a relaxing stress free way to experience the Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii. Communication was excellent. Recommend .

Best way to experience Pompeii and Vesuvius! - This was the best way to experience Pompeii and Vesuvius - our driver Dino was very informative and the van was comfortable. It was nice to arrive at Vesuvius early in the morning before the crowds and a private guide through Pompeii was very helpful. We learned so much more than the first time we went without a guide.

Our Vesuvius Pompeii Adventure - The entire day was more than expected. Our driver, Gennaro, was excellent. Knowledgeable, kind, and a skilled driver, he made our day stress free. Vesuvius was awe inspiring and the view of the volcano, the Bay of Naples, City and surrounding area breathtaking. We were driven to the Bosco de Medici Winery for excellent wine and a delicious midday meal and then on to Pompeii. A dream come true. Our guide answered our many questions, imparted a vast amount of knowledge, and made this a most memorable experience

We love these folks! - We booked the private driver (Dino - amazing, warm, and the nicest man you will ever meet) through Sofia and had a tour guide (Antonio) for Pompeii. Afterwards, Dino drive us over to the Bosco do Medici winery for lunch. We loved our sommelier Matteo. He was engaging and very funny Truly an AMAZING experience and worth every penny! ❤️❤️

Full Day tour with Great Driver and Guides - Picked up at our Almafi hotel and drove to Vesuvius first. Dino was a great and informative driver. Very helpful in locating a great lunch near Pompeii. The tour guides at both Vesuvius and Pompeii were excellent.

Amazing day - We had the most wonderful time with Dino. He was full of information and he had a great voice. My family enjoyed spending the day with him. We had a great guide for Pompei. Sonia was amazing. She knew how to keep us away from the crowds. It was almost like we were there by ourselves. She was also very knowledgeable. The whole day was amazing. Great guides, great food, great wine, and the sites were wonderful. Thank you Dino for making us feel like family. Jenine
