Our kind, hearty and funny guide Alexandra, teamed up with the best driver in Amalfi- Claudio, provided a perfect day for us in Pompeii and Versuv. Full of knowledge and witty fun facts, Alexandra amazed us with details from the best sites in Pompeii, which would be overwhelming to discover on your on. I couldn’t give a warmer recommendation to tour with Alexandra and Claudio! They absolutely made our day

I had to call 3 times and email to schedule our pickup and a different location. We wanted to see the tortured artist exhibit in Pompei. We were told by our tour guide that it was closed. We were able to ask someone to re-enter and found the exhibit which was still open. The day was long, it would have been nice to have water provided and not have to pay to use the restroom.

Convenient way to visit Pompeii from Amalfi

Easy pickup from hotel in Amalfi on charter bus to Pompeii and Vesuvius and back. Guide was a bit lackluster and complained several times about the school groups at Pompeii. Lunch spot that group was walked to for meeting spot and encouraged to eat at was affordable at 14euro price fixe but tasteless.
