Super nice, welcoming and friendly driver, who ate breakfast and drank coffee with us before we left for Pompeii. In addition, he gave us good advices and tips for the rest of our holiday in Naples. Our guide in the Pompeii ruins was also really good and friendly. It was a very exciting and unique tour about the history behind the city. Our guide on the horseback riding tour in Vesuvius National Park was also very good, friendly and accommodating. We had a super great trip, where we rode in the most beautiful places and were allowed to both trot and gallop when we got back to the stable. It was also really nice when we had a break in the middle of the day at a vineyard on Vesuvius to have a Neapolitan lunch. Furthermore, we met nice people of different nationalities during the day who joined parts of our trip. All in all, a highly recommendable trip!

Really recommendable tour if you want to try different Neapolitan food. We tasted a lot of different food and ended up very full when the trip was over. Furthermore our guide Mario was simply so good! He told us a lot about the history in Naples while we walked around to the different places in the old town, gave us tips for what else you could/should see in the city, and in addition he was super committed, welcoming and inclusive. You certainly didn't feel forgotten on the tour, as he was good at following up on us, as well as showing an interest in hearing about who we were as people and where we came from in the world. All in all, a highly recommendable trip for food lovers who also enjoy being in good company, where you are well taken care of!

My sister and I had a super fun pub crawl with a group of nice people of different nationalities. Our guide Yuri made sure that we and our group got around different bars during the evening, and finally ended up at a disco where we could dance and end the evening if we wanted to. Yuri was outgoing and open and joined us in partying, which made the experience even nicer. This experience is definitely recommended - even if you are not the type to party late into the night, as the guided tour itself only lasts until midnight.

Alba and Simon were great. We didn’t do Ravello leg and didn’t feel we missed out. Be prepared for it to be very busy with people and for getting wet with spray on way back (we really enjoyed this as it was really cooling and a laugh but if you had clothes you really cared about on then I could see that ir would be harder to see the funny side! We had a great day.

This was an excellent transfer and tour. Our tour coordinator, Antonino and our Pompeii tour guide Vera were in constant communication with us well before the transfer and made sure everything was well organized. Great service and very interesting tour of Pompeii, one of the highlights of our trip!
