Alfonso was our guide and he was excellent - charming, funny and knowledgeable. He had very good English and switched to French when he heard some other tourists asking questions. We visited the site on an overcast day in February and it was uncrowded and easy to see everything. I can imagine that in summer it would be very crowded and difficult to get around, and that a skip-the-line ticket would be well worth the money. Pompeii was a bucket list item for me and I am so glad we went - it was fascinating. I was happy with the price of this tour as other operators had quoted us absolutely ridiculous prices - we ended up travelling by local train from Sorrento and even with the skip the line surcharge (which as it turns out we didn't really need on the day), this was a very reasonably priced option.

I had a great time on the tour to Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi. Our guide was excellent, everything ran smoothly, and I’d highly recommend it. I especially loved the short boat journey from Amalfi—it was an optional extra but absolutely worth it. The only downside was that my friend’s booking didn’t go through due to a credit card issue, which took a while to resolve. Otherwise, a fantastic experience!Marie

This was my husband's and my 3rd visit and our 2 hr tour didnt include anything we had ever seen before and I really appreciated her wealth of knowledge. She also had a great sense of humor. We had our 10 year old grandson with us and our guide was so patient in answering all of his questions.

Perfectly organized. Our guide-archaeologist, Rafael, is very good and did not stop giving us explanations and answering all our questions. It was an enjoyable and very interesting visit. He also advised us on how to continue the visit once the tour was over. Thank you very much.View original review in Spanish
