Sasha tour guide was great - Sasha is a wonderful tour guide and human being. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He even rode the train with us to Sorrento since we decided to stay there. Everyone knows Sasha and that’s because his reputation is very well deserved. We already miss him and hope someday we will be lucky enough to see him again. The bus ride from Rome to Sorrento was very good. Gugliemo speaks 4 languages perfectly and is an excellent host! We enjoyed our time with him as well.
Little things that were just ok.. when they picked is up in Rome it was raining. Would have been nice for pickup to be covered and also for bus to move closer to us. We had to walk a lot in the cold rain then when we boarded the bus moved up :-)… Another small thing was the audio in Pompeii was difficult to hear due to technical difficulties. We kind of fixed it mid way but Sasha deserves better audio to tell his magnificent stories.
Everything else was great!

Comprehensive tour around the ancient city - We got what we expected. The tour by a very knowledgeable guide Fabiano was excellent, though at first we underestimated him a little. Being an archaeologist himself Fabiano told us not only amusing facts about Pompeii, but also a brief history of the city, eruption and excavations.
The tour was organized well enough, though we'd rather stay more time in the city instead of spending half an hour in the cameo showroom next to the entrance.

Martha was excellent.... - Martha was excellent. Very knowledgeable and coordinated. The tour started a bit late and then we had to wait for stragglers. The time was changed to 1/2 hour earlier and apparently some people didn’t receive the text. The only other thing was it was so incredibly crowded. That’s not the tour companies fault, but it was rather unpleasant being squeezed in like sardines. Would recommend.

Tour was great, jewelry stop not so much. - Fabiano and Francesca were both wonderful and made the tour worthwhile. However, the initial jewelry store stop was a money grab. It was irrelevant to Pompeii, and I would have either preferred to sleep an extra hour or visited the ruins. Don't fall for it.
The pizza was good, but it was a meeting space at a nearby hotel and I wasn't permitted to sit with my family bc they had specific table arrangements. So the food was good and also nice to be included, but not necessarily something I'd recommend to seek out.
That said, taking a guided tour of Pompeii was well worth the time and money. The bus ride was nice, with a stop along the way at a lovely hotel coffee/tourist spot. All in all, the time was well planned and we are happy with what we paid for.

Recommended tour - Very good bus and tour guide, and very comfortable bus to travel.
We found that the hour before lunch to see the jewelry in the area is a bit of wasted time that could be used for the tour.
Food 3/5: we ordered a carbonara that was not very good, and a pizza margarita that was okay. The salad was not good.
The tour as such is very interesting and we recommend it if you have any day off.

Pompeii - Very worthwhile. Our coach guide, Francesca, was terrific. Our site guide, Fabiano, was also a gem. Very knowledgeable. Lunch was great! One important note: the site visit begins with an unnecessary stop at a cameo artisan “museum”. Very expensive pieces. A obvious money grab. No one in our group bought a thing and it added almost a hour to the trip. While this is a pricey tour, it is worth it. You travel in comfort with experts. This is an all day event, so don’t count on doing anything else!

Too long and a lot of wasted time - We knew the tour was 12 hours but you could skip the jewelry making factory was a waste of time .We felt like there was a lot of wasted time . We were picked up in the morning at our hotel which was great.But it was not available at the end of tour . You have to let people know this ahead of time .

Held hostage in jewelry store AVOID - The tour description didn't explain you will be dumped in a coral and shell jewelry store for an hour. This is an hour extra we could have enjoyed inside the ruins. Massive tourist trap and also unethical and unsustainable in practice. Don't take this tour.
