Private tour of Pompei - Our driver Vincenzo was informative and personable. He arrived on time and ride was very comfortable. He was accommodating and shared some ideas of favorite places. Our tour guide in Pompei ruins was Nino and also very good at explaining the various sights. We had a great time and felt like we saw the highlights of pompei

A Wonderful Tour Experience - We had a wonderful day with our host/guide/driver, Luigi, who spoke great English and gave us a great full day tour. Luigi introduced us to Sebastiano, a personal guide at Pompeii with huge knowledge, and he made a reservation at a lovely restaurant on the road up to Vesuvius. Graziana, our contact at Travel Etc had excellent advice and helped us plan our visit. We would definitely recommend this company for tours and transfers on the Amalfi Coast.

Long hot day, but definitely worth it - The driver picked us up from the hotel and drove straight to Pompeii, where a guide was already waiting for us. The personal tour was fascinating and informative. We could tell the guide, Francesco, was genuinely passionate about the subject. After Pompeii, the driver took us to Vesuvius. The climb was challenging, but certainly worthwhile. After that, the driver took us back to the hotel. Long day, but a wonderful experience all around.

Absolutely Incredible Day - Highly Recommend - Our tour of Pompeii yesterday was incredible! We were picked up by Fabio, who was the kindest driver and wonderful person. He drove us safely to Pompeii and was a delight to chat with and even stopped on the way back for us to get gelato!
There we met with Carmine, our tour guide who was fantastic. He knew anything and everything there is to know about the history of Pompeii. He was so passionate in the way he spoke about the landscape. He was such a kind hearted person and taught us so much. He answered every question we had. We are so happy we could get to know him and learn from him!
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great time. We loved every minute!!!

Pompeii & Vesuvius Private Tour - Fabulous day - Driver, Pepe from Prestige Limo Sorrento, arrived on time, nice person, great driver & very comfortable Mercedes’ - drive was through nice scenery & Pepe provided some commentary along the way & gave me very clear instructions re how day would go. Hugo, guide for Pompeii was waiting, excellent English, detailed knowledge of history & the site and being solo, we skipped all the queues, even inside the site
At first was surprised the driver was not being my guide up Vesuvius but I realised it wasn’t necessary - relatively easy walk to the top and well worth the effort (even though bit scary at times if you’re scared of heights) and drive back very pleasant. All went like clockwork and very nice people

Book this tour!! - This was a fantastic tour!! It’s difficult to get around in Positano so I loved that this tour handled all transportation needs. Our tour guide Roberta was knowledgeable and I loved her high energy. Pompeii is HUGE so she makes sure you see all the most important sites and is full of fascinating facts and stories for everything you look at. My husbands favorite part was Mount Vesuvius. You’re able to go right up to the crater! Be sure to bring a jacket, it’s chilly at that elevation. This tour was a nice change of pace from the Amalfi coast for something really unique. I’d highly recommend!!

Our guide was great!... - Our guide was great! Carmela was knowledgeable but not annoying. Planned our time perfect. She is the best!
The restaurant- complete disappointment. Not organized, food is below mediocre. You have to beg people to bring you cheese to your pasta. I’d rather had sandwich from the vendor on the street.
