The best day tour yet!
MARY_M, May 2024
Antonino was outstanding! He masterfully navigated us through Pompeii with exceptional commentary. He was very respectful of our time constraints but still managed to provide a full overview of Pompeii and the Amalfi coast in one day. Highly recommend this tour
An incredible day out with a fantastic guide
Raj_G, Apr 2024
This was an excellent day trip seeing the Pompeii highlights and having sufficient time to sample the Amalfi and Sorrento. Antonio (Tony) was an excellent driver, tour guide, and communicated well. He communicated well and gave us a good mix of guided time, but also family time. Pompeii itself is incredible and much larger than we thought. Tony did a great job at guiding us around, bringing the city to life with well timed stories and pictures.
Excellent trip with friendly driver/knowledgeable guide!
Sharon_L, Apr 2024
We (family of 4, including 2 teens) had a highly enjoyable tour to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast with Antonino. He met us at Napoli Centrale as we came in from Rome and was very friendly and welcoming, putting us at ease immediately. He also spoke very well and we had no trouble communicating. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. Opted for the guide service - Antonino turned out to be both driver and guide - at Pompeii and he was a wealth of information. Throughout the entire 2+ hours, he kept my 2 teens highly engaged and interested with his knowledge and humour. The drive to the Amalfi Coast took some time, but was made easy because of the comfort of the vehicle. However, be aware that there are some twisty roads and could be a bit challenging for those who get carsick easily - might want to be prepared. The Amalfi Coast is breathtaking, and Antonino stopped in a few spots for us to take photos, and in Sorrento for us to wander around this beautiful town while he very patiently waited for us. Antonino took us back to Naples for us to catch our train back to Rome and was very accommodating in helping uso find something daughter had lost in his car. I can only say that if I go back to that area for another trip, I would not hesitate to use this company again. Thanks for making this a memorable one!
Best tour guide of Ponpeii
Christopher_B, Mar 2024
Best tour ever! Tour guide was knowledgeable, engaging, nice and fun! I would recommend him to anyone who wants a good tour of Pompeii!
Great Private Tour!
Melissa_C, Mar 2024
Antonio was a wonderful tour guide showing us the sites. So informative! Antonino was our guide at Pompeii. Great fun and very knowledgeable about the ruins. Overall those two are amazing! I would 100% recommend them. Phenomenal experience. Thank you!!!
A must-do if you want a day trip out of Rome or Naples.
Rochelle_M, Mar 2024
Wow! What a great day. Easily our favorite day during a week-long stay in Rome. Antonio (our driver) was really sweet and modified our route to accommodate our needs. Antonino (our Pompeii guide) was super interesting and honestly, we could have spent a lot more than the time we booked. We ended up taking a little longer than planned (2.5 hours instead of 2) because there's really so much to see, so we had less time in Sorrento and Positano. As it was we had about an hour in each town. We could have easily spent a dayat each stop, but getting a taste of the Amalfi coast and north was really wonderful. We would definitely want to visit again. We went in March, and it was busy, but not so crowded as to be uncomfortable. If you're interested in the area and have a day to spare in Rome or Naples, we would highly, highly recommend these two! Pro tip- buy your entry tickets to Pompeii in advance so you can go right in. Also, try to arrive at the site right when they open to get the most out of the day. When you stop for lunch, tell the staff how much time you have so they can get you in and out rather quickly by Italian standards. They're happy to accommodate if they know you're in a rush.
Fantastic family experience
David_A, Mar 2024
Perfect tour for our family of 6. Our guide was engaging, knowledgeable, and did a great job of bringing the history of Pompeii to life for the wide age range in our family party. We could not have asked for a better day to walk the ruins and take a drive down the picturesque coast.
Amazing! Do not look anywhere else!
Judith_H, Jan 2024
We had Antonio and Dominic for our private tour. We are a family of 12 so had to book 2 vans. They were prompt, efficient and very friendly! Made the trip so wonderful!
Excellent experience
Margaret_c, Nov 2023
Antonio is an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable, fun and experienced. We were able to do Sorrento, Positano and Pompeii in one day and enjoyed our time at each place. He came fully prepared and gave a lot of background and history. The tour he gave at Pompeii was fantastic. Antonio is very good at time management and brought us back to port in time. We would book future tours with him again when we come back.
Ruined Tour of Pompeii and last day in Italy for me
Caroline_R, Oct 2023
Antonio our driver made sure my last day in Italy was ruined-he berated - was rude & insulting to the point of bringing me to tears over how I had purchased admission tickets to Pompeii- but made sure to flirt with my female companions the entire tour -

Pompeii in Sorrento
john_c, Jun 2023
Our driver picked us up at a time. He was extremely professional, very pleasant. Took us on a personally guided tour of Pompeii, which was unbelievable. Then we went through Sorrento. And Positano. Nice towns to visit. If you have the chance highly recommended.
Tony was a awesome guide....
Lisa_C, Jun 2023

Seeing Positano, such an amazing site. My daughter and I enjoyed every minute of the tour. Hope to return in the future
Great trip!
Kent_S, May 2023
What a great trip! Antonino was a great guide and a great driver. He went above and beyond to accommodate all of our requests.
Fantastic tour with Antonino!
Tom_M, May 2023
Antonino was a fantastic tour guide! His knowledge of Pompeii and the region was incredible! His enthusiasm and love for the history made this an unforgettable trip!
The single best day of our entire Europe trip!
knowles247, May 2023
Our guide, Antonino, picked us up at the Napoli Train Station and the adventure began! Based on previous discussions he created the perfect itinerary including driving the Amalfi Coast and exploring the ruins of Pompeii! Along the way he provided tons of information to make the journey more meaningful. But the highlight of the day was a customized drive to the small mountain village of Petina where my wife’s great grandparents grew up! Believe me that is in no one’s guidebook! But Antonino took us there and served as translator so we could meet some of the townsfolk and explore the quaint streets. It was amazing and an experience we’ll never forget!
Five Star Private Tour...a must do!
Leah_F, May 2023
The entire day was made so easy by Antonio's (Tony's) knowledge and professional guidance. We were picked up from Naples station and taken to Positano, with lots of useful information on the picturesque drive there. After a stop to check out the shops and have a bite to eat, we headed to Sorrento. Sorrento was our favourite place to explore. The streets so clean and narrow walkways filled with lovely shops. Our final stop was Pompeii..Tony made this stop so memorable with his expert knowledge and information. We were taken back to the Naples station for our trip back to Rome. The vehicle was immaculate and Tony's driving skills were on point. Tony had a tablet slide show throughout the day, both whilst on route and at Pompeii. This made the tour so much more enjoyable. We learnt a great deal about each place.
