Amazing trip - We had really fantastic day at Pompeii and Capri. All was very well organised. Nunzia is very knowledgeable. She told us lots of interesting stories. She is also very nice person. She helped me to find a place serving gluten free lunch. Capri is a stunning place to visit. So is Pompeii. For people interested in ancient history it's a must visit place. We took lots of beautiful photos. Enrico is an excellent driver.

Fabulous!! - Nunzia was fabulous! She gave us tips and suggestions on local hot spots, had useful and interesting information, and was readily available for questions. Capri and Pompeii were both amazing and I recommend them to anyone! I’d love more time in both places.

Great day in Capri and Pompei - A great combination of two different places. Capri with its magnificent views, beautiful nature, modern buildings, and very tasty meals. Pompei - a really interesting ancient town of the Roman Empire with a lot of history! The tour couldn't be so great without our guides, Connie and Nando! They know a lot about Capri and Pompei and were both very friendly with a good sense of humor. I really recommend this tour! :)

Amazing day visiting the Island of Capri and Pompei! - We ended our seven night cruise with this excursion. What a way to end our trip! The Island of Capri may very well be one of the most beautiful places on earth. Pompei is absolutely fascinating! Connie reached out to me the day prior to the tour to confirm and share her contact information. This was very reassuring and helpful. Connie, Arianna and Alessio were all fantastic. Connie did a very good job of letting us know what to expect such as where the restrooms were, the time schedules and where to meet back up with them. Arianna was wonderful with sharing some of her personal experiences and photos when visiting these two gems. Alessio got us to/from the excursions safely. He was a very good driver and had a great sense of humor. I was concerned we may feel rushed with too much to see in 8 hours but we had plenty of time. It was very relaxed and we enjoyed the free time in Capri. Thank you Connie, Arianna and Alessio! I highly recommend this tour.

Pompei is 79 AD frozen in... - Pompei is 79 AD frozen in time. For the novice to the aficionado, this is an incredible experience. Amazing the level of organization: family and civil that existed back then. Capri is a joyous and sensory experience. Enjoy the views, scents and colors of this island.

The perfect day trip! - Giancarlo was one of the best guides I have had. He had a great personality, was very knowledgeable about the areas we travelled, and was always one step ahead with our tickets. Pompeii was very hot in the sun, so bring lots of water, even though our tour provided water. The time in Capri was brief and it rained, but it was a lovey opportunity to see the spectacular views of the island.

Worth it! - Chiara and Josie were great, as well as the tour guide at Pompeii. They were very nice, informative and really good us alot about Napoli history and pompeii. however management needs to address the plan B--I felt that there should be better organization from management about weather related changes. Capri had to be cancelled due to weather (understandable) and it took a while to figure out the solution. Definitely not Chiara or Josie's fault-they did their best. ..would be management. Also would be better if they were actually able to pick us up AT our cruise port, not 1.3 km away. We were told we would be picked up at the post but had to rush cause that wasn't the case.
