Fantastic tour around Pompeii with Sasa - We booked this last minute having been let down by our original tour company and I am so glad we did! Pick up was flawless and it was a comfortable journey to Pompeii. Our guide Sasa met us promptly and it turned out we had a private tour as no one else had booked on that day! Sasa was a brilliant source of information, we enjoyed our tour very much! I really respect a tour company that still goes ahead even with a small group - it was fantastic.

Amazing small-group tour, highly recommend! - Wonderful tour of such an amazing place, our worry was that visiting would be 'over-touristy', but the guide was incredibly informative and could not be happier with the personal experience of a smaller group tour. Transit to and from Pompeii was easy, relaxed, and enjoyable.

Pompeii am tour - Our guide Francesca was perfecto. Just the perfect amount of time in the scabious area. Francesca was Knowledgeable, professional and polite. Napoli vs I Dolomiti just about sums it up. Grazie Mille

Luigi crushed it - We had a really excellent Pompeii experience. We were worried about crowds but we got there first thing and our guide Luigi moved us through before crowds gathered. Luigi was a super fantastic storyteller. He was able to create imagery while showing us historical sites. We loved it. We also were thankful for the excellent transport from our hotel to Pompeii. Taxi service is hard to get in Sorrento but the driving service was reliable and well priced.

Amazing experience learning about the rich history and skip the queues - Our tour with Sasa was very informative and he took the time to explain to us in detail the history of pompeii. He made sure we saw everything we wanted to see even though we ran overtime. We were driven from our hotel in sorrento and back in a private car as there was no one else on our tour on the day (me at to be small group 8) would highly recommend. I would suggest if possible spending longer there to learn more about the history as 2 hrs is short. Thanks again Sasa for taking us through and explaining to us as much as you could during our short stay

Tour with Guide Francesco EXCELLENT!!! - This tour was exceptional. I went on this excursion on Friday, Oct 8th, 2021 . Francesco was my tour guide. I happen to be alone so I was with a group of 6 Germans , which the Tour Operator Manuel was very accommodating. I was able to join this group and Francesco the Tour guide explained in detail in German and then in English for me. I can't say enough about this excursion, PLEASE PLEASE do yourself a favor and go on this tour. Francesco was awesome, so knowledgeable and on every stop along the way he gave us the history in explicit detail and answered any question we threw at him. He is wonderful!!! This company should have 100 Francesco's as a Tour guide. The only disappointment at the end of the tour was that no-one bothered to tip Francesco, he was well worth it. I was the only one (I am Canadian by the way) that gave him a tip. This was very sad. But, all I can do is do for myself and I am very happy to have given him a tip. He so DESERVES IT!!!!. Please future people on this excursion, give him a tip. Come'on. Thanks again Francesco!!!!! ; ********** 10 STARS. Anita F.

A little confused who was our tour guide , no signs but once we found him the tour took off. Amazing place to visit . Sasais a 3rd generation guide did an excellent job , he wad knowledgeable, keep our group together and in the shade. Would recommend this tour to anyone.
