I would go back again 😊 - Amazing experience! Loved it and all of the tourist guides were super nice and interesting. July’s temperature is not easy but they were very helpful and I enjoyed even though the weather was too hot for me, I would redo it with a different weather….

Cosimo, Francesca, and the bus driver were all great. Very knowledgable and friendly. - In terms of Cosimo, Francesca, and the bus driver. There were a 5 out of 5. Knowledgable and accommodating. I did sign up for the Almafi tour but that was changed beforehand and I was not alerted but this was NOT Cosimo’s fault. They ran an excellent tour. This was because I had booked through Expedia and I guess messages can get lost in between parties. So just double check your tour beforehand. Overall it’s a lot to see in a day so if you are crunched for time it’s a good tour and I would ask for Cosimo and Francesca.

Cosimo is an excellent tour guide - We took a day trip from Rome down to Pompeii and then to Sorrento. Our tour guide Cosimo was outstanding. He answered all of the questions, always looked out for our group, and made us feel completely at home. If you’re traveling to Italy for the first time or the hundredth and haven’t done this yet, I would absolutely recommend it. Our bus driver Paolo navigated the small streets of Sorrento with ease, and the views there were some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.

Beware: Poor Logistics, but Good Sightseeing - The overall trip was not bad and a decent value considering travel and how much we got to see. Julio was our guide and he was very intelligent and kind. He was quite hospitable. He helped accommodate us as we are susceptible to motion sickness and needed to sit in the front. Pompeii itself is interesting and Sorrento was beautiful. The bus was sort of comfortable, but it wasn't readily clear to everyone how to recline the seats, and the microphone painfully went out (lots of feedback) mid trip. However, much of our group had a hard time. -Our tour guide in Pompeii was knowledgeable. It does say on the booking the basic timeline, but it should have been stressed how long the tour itself in Pompeii would be. Half of our group couldn't continue for the entire tour because of how hot and long it was (nearly 3 hours). A member was crying because of the conditions and the guide didn't notice or check for everyone at all times. There wasn't a procedure in place to handle emergencies like this, and the group had to follow her because there is no signal in Pompeii, so she could not call Julio to recon. We had 80 year olds on our trip and one slip or fall, let alone already walking in the 95 degree weather could've turned out even worse. Now of course they are not in charge of the weather, but a lot fell through the cracks. -I asked if we could leave stuff on the bus before the trip. My original contact was out of the office (no away message). So I messaged via the booking and the person made an unnecessary remark of "having to find my reservation first" and then said we cannot leave anything on the bus. So I packed as light as possible and decided not to bring swimming attire. One of the first things Julio told us on the bus is that we COULD LEAVE STUFF. I was so annoyed because then I would've brought an umbrella, food, more water, etc. which would've been TOTALLY useful on the Pompeii tour as my tour mates were dropping like flies left and right from heat and dehydration. Moreover, the stop in Sorrento was nice but way too short to make worth the additional 2 hours of driving. One of their recommended restaurants was at the opposite end and wasn't even open during our tour time... we walked close to it, ate (and had exceptionally quick service which is not the norm in Sorrento apparently) and had to immediately walk back to make time. The group was also late in the morning which I have found to be pretty on par with most of my Italian bookings. They were adamant about meeting 15 minutes early, but arrived at the booking time. I get it, but it can be worrisome if you are in a new area and don't know anyone! And if this matters to you, the bathroom stop is prearranged with the booking group because they get freebies for bringing their business there. We had to buy food since I was told I couldn't leave anything on the bus. The bathroom is very mid. You'll have to have something to eat before going to Pompeii as you will not get a chance to eat until Sorrento. Overall, I think the tour company should have been much more clearer and explicit about what to expect and what we could bring!!! We were ill prepared for the heat and had to spend more money on food and water because of the lack of communication. If you are older, disabled, or have a hard time in heat, I would unfortunately, rethink this tour.
