“Wonderful Tour of Amalfi Coast and Educational Experience at Pompeii - I thoroughly enjoyed the tour to the Amalfi Coast (Sorrento and Positano) with Mondo Guide and feel it was a terrific deal. Our small bus was in beautiful condition and very comfortable. I appreciated Genaro’s safe driving, and Andrea is an excellent guide with a nice sense of humor. There was plenty of time to explore the coastal towns and the views were from the bus were great. Roberta, our Archeological Guide at Pompeii, is exceptional, and I would have loved to have spent many more hours with her in Pompeii. It was wonderful to be in the ancient city in the cooler and less populated month of November. I would love to return to see and learn more! I recommend your tour very highly.” - Reviewed at 2024-12-09

“Great experience!! - My friends and I booked this private tour last minute and it was fabulous! Even though we got stuck in traffic due to an accident, we were along the Amalfi Coast and enjoyed the views. We did wish we had more time in Positano. We had one of the best meals at the restaurant our driver took us to. It was a great way to see more of Italy!” - Reviewed at 2024-05-19

“Beautiful tour! - Such a wonderful tour! We went at the end of April. Weather was great. I loved every minute. I wish we had more time. My recommendation would book one of their tours that went to less places as it felt like there was not enough time going to all 3. You get to see each place but there is limited time to explore. Loved the tour guide, driver and the places we stopped. Overall a great day and I’m happy with it. I got so many stunning photos that look like something out of a dream. I will definitely come back and probably spend a full day or more at each spot.” - Reviewed at 2025-01-05
