Excellent tour! Giovanni... - Excellent tour! Giovanni was so sweet and informative, definitely the best bus guide we’ve ever had. You could definitely tell he truly enjoys his job. Pompeii was amazing with our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, Francesco. The lemoncello factory was very cool, we got to sample several types of lemoncello and other treats. Lastly, our trip to Sorrento was magical, the coastal city is definitely a destination that everyone would enjoy. If you’re looking for a little variety in your Rome stay, I would definitely recommend this tour!

Pompeii is so worth the trip - wish we had more time there! - Pompeii was amazing! Just wish we had more time there. 90 mins of this 13 hour tour just wasn’t enough - I could have spent days there. Giovanni was a great guide overall. Francesco led the tour at Pompeii itself and he was phenomenal. The food at the restaurant we all ate lunch at in Pompeii (il Vesuvio) was fine - about average. Sorrento was beautiful too - again wish we had more time than an hour there. One thing I really didn’t like was the rest stop in Casino - it’s clear all these tour companies have an agreement with this restaurant stop since the parking lot was loaded with buses both times we stopped. It was honestly gross - under construction, dirty overcrowded toilets, masses of people everywhere. And the food inside looked….warmed over. We passed so many seemingly clean modern highway rest stops - why not just stop at one of those for a bathroom break? Otherwise, it was a positive tour experience.

Isabella was very good at... - Isabella was very good at her job. She was very informative and knowledgeable. Unfortunately the tour was just ok. The restaurant we were taken to for lunch was absolutely terrible. The salad was hard and oil and vinegar was only given when we asked the waitress. The pasta was pasty and sauce had no flavor.
Once we arrived in Pompeii, our guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, he rushed us through the park. We were only there for 1 hour and only saw a small part of the exhibits.
The lemoncello factory tour was a waste of time. It was a walk through the factory into the store. We learned nothing about making the drink and observed nothing.
Sorentto was beautiful. I wish we could have had lunch there
The 2 stops at the highway rest stop was unnecessary. It was filled with tour buses so the lines were huge. We could have used this time at Pompeii or Sorentto
Too many nonsense stops without any value added
