“The bus ride was comfortable. Vito was an awesome guide and very graceful with his knowledge of Pompeii. The Amalfi part was kind of lacklaster. If someone were to go swimming or even just get down to the beach then they would miss the bus. There were no directions to get to the beach. I think it would've been helpful if directions were included to the beach on the the pamphlet with the restaurant recommendations.”

“We loved the semi-private tour set up as we will only do those going forward. Roberto was a fantastic guide/driver and we throughly enjoyed speaking with him. No unexpected but the Amalfi Coast stop was just insanely crowded but nothing to be done for that but it was beautiful but a bit rushed with so many people smashing into the same location, but again that is what it is. The lunch location and food/service were absolutely amazing. That was our best dinning experience for the entire week we were here that was just fantastic from food, to service, to location we loved it. Lastly, Pompeii also exceeded our expectations as…”
