Pompei and Lemons - My daughter and myself had a wonderful day.. Enricho out guide was helpful and fun with lots of interesting information during the trip and Bruno our driver was excellent as well.
We enjoyed a stop in Sorrento for lunch and a visit to the Limoncello factory and our guide through Pompeii excellent as well. Despite loosing some time on the way to Pompeii due to a bad accident on the motorway we still made it back to Rome around 7.30 as scheduled without missing out on anything.
All round a great experience 😊

Great day trip from Rome - I went on this day trip with a group of friends and my wife and we had a fantastic time. We enjoyed our guide Alessandro immensely. He was helpful and personable giving us tips and informational history. We also enjoyed Luigi’s expert driving. The pace of the day was busy with a couple hours at each stop.

Pompeii - With guides lovely and provided interesting information both on the bus and at Pompeii. Sorrento lunch not worth the terrible traffic you have to go through. Pompeii was amazing and the guide presented the information with humour and relevance. I could have spent lots more time at Pompeii.

Guides were well-experiencedd - A well organized tour. Sasha and Marco were amazing guides. I wish there was more time to eat lunch at Sorrento. The limoncello tasting could be optional.
I highly recommend the tour. The trip was good overall.

Sorento disappointing and Pompeii without French guide - I booked with guide in French and on arrival it was English only.
I was offered a difficult to use French audio guide, we had to constantly search the menu to get information 10 euros wasted. Visit Sorrento without free time as described. The guide chose a restaurant and we had time to eat before leaving. Tasting of limoncello in a shop and not at a producer.

Okay if you’re pressed for time and only have a day - Eh. We originally signed up for the trip that would take us direct to Pompeii but they changed it on us and we had to stop in Sorrento. Don’t get me wrong. Sorrento is lovely. I would have stayed in Sorrento longer BUT considering you only get an hour in Sorrento which you have to also get something to eat that leaves you with less than 2 hours in Pompeii. Keep in mind you have to wait for tardy people on the bus and icky traffic in Sorrento and the peninsula itself takes a chunk of time. This was in April Easter week. Maybe better in off season. If you can manage - I would stay in Sorrento or Naples and just do a day trip to Pompeii. The trains are quite easy enough to use. Had I extra time I would have done this. Or even rented a car from Naples to explore the area leisurely. Pompeii needs more time.

Disorganized and unprofessional - Disorganized and unprofessional. Tour guide talked a lot, but didn’t provide a lot of useful information. She also didn’t seem to understand what the tour was planned for and who was participating in what part of the tour. We were told we would have two hours in Sorrento and then when we arrived we were only given an hour and it was brushed off as that is plenty of time. Pompeii was very hot and three different groups with different tours were told to wait in the heat while they sorted out radios… even for those who didn’t need them. The flow was just off and a lot of time on a very short tour was wasted with the disorganization. If you want to see these locations give yourself more time to- too much to do in one day with the drive time.

Too much time at the rest... - Spent way too much time at the rest stop on the way there and back, but unfortunately not enough time in Sorrento and Pompeii. The whole trip felt extremely rushed. You only get a tiny glimpse of them. Sorrento is such a lovely town, but we only got to spend 50 minutes there. Pompeii is impressive but 2 hours ist not nearly enough time to experience it. Would not recommend the tour to anyone.

Messy arrangement without proper explanation. - The morning trip was great initially. The guide was early. Bus journey was good. Not much traffic.
However, when reached Pompeii. The guide told us he couldn’t get the tickets and we have to queue the normal queue. Paid for the “skip the line” tickets but ends up queuing 3 hours (10am - 1pm)! The tour operator make up by having a free lunch but our trip to Sorrento was cancelled due to the timing delays.
However the good thing about the trip is the Pompeii guide. He understand the tour group was feeling unhappy. He inject some humour in the Pompeii guided tour with fantasy explaination.
I hoped the tour operate will refund some partial payment. Since we paid in full for full itinerary.
