Capri and Pompeii - We really had a great time next to Reuben, our tour leader was full of energy to teach us and we learned a little about Capri and Pompeii. It was a long, tired day but above all we knew everything the tour said and took advantage of drinking and eating rich. I thank you Ruben for all your attentions, a hug from Ecuador. Greetings,

Great experience! - Gabriel was an amazing guide. He was funny, caring, and engaging. He also knows a lot about Naples, Capri, and Pompeii. His English was excellent and we really enjoyed the tour. We have a family of 6, including a two-year-old, so he had his hands full, but he was so kind and attentive. We happen to be touring with him again tomorrow! Overall, we had a great time and recommend Gabriel highly!

Good overall - This trip was really fun and a great way to see two awesome must see locations! The only downfall was that the emails and communication on the meet time were very confusing. It said to meet at 8am, but at 7:45 we were called saying we were late and that we needed to get to the port ASAP! My husband and I sprinted down and found our guide but was very stressful when we would have been there at the correct time if it was communicated. Also said you get water and we did not. Highly recommend if you do this tour getting there a half hour earlier than they say! Overall though Capri was wonderful and Pompeii was really interesting!

NOT WORTH THE MONEY, Tour starts in Capri (2 hours) ends in Pompei in the afternoon. Total Money Grab - First, I would not recommend this trip for the price. They use contracted guides; I understand, but the description makes it sound like the first part of the day in Pompei and the second part is Capri which sets up nicely for a family to end the day relaxing either at the beach or touring Capri. I was promised and booked a private 8 person tour. However, they added another family of 5 to our tour. After reading some other reviews I guess this is normal for this tour operator. Fro over $2000 I would expect a better organized tour and better communication on the itinerary. OUr tour guid was very pleasant and could tell our dissatisfaction from the start. Our family and the other family that was conveniently added to our tour ended up cancelling the Pompei portion of the tour because frankylu we would have just under 2-3 hours on Capri; the Monte Carlo of Italy, and only in the morning. just to sweat all afternoon in the sun of the Pompei ruins. Which we were all looking forward to seeing as my son had researched Pompei for the past 2 months leading up to the trip. This tour operator is only in business for a money grab as the ferry from Naples to Capri is only 25 euros per person. We did a similar tour thru Viator in Ephesus with a much better experience for less than 500 euros for the 8 of us. Again this tour is over 2000 euros and is hardly worht it. It is better to set up the tour yourself. It is easy to buy Ferry tickets once you dock and transport to Pompei is easy as well once docked. NOT worth the money spent with this tour operator. Again, the guide was very nice and informative, I believe a college student, but she was set up for failure with the itinerary.

The Absolute WORST! - Our family of five spent over $1000 for this tour! We gave the guide a tip although the company set her up for failure at every turn! We first planned to meet the guide at 8:00am , then that was changed to 7:30 the night before, then, 7:15 that morning. We were a "small VIP tour from 5-10 people." I'd love to see how a non VIP group was treated. The guide met us without a problem. She purchased tickets to Capri, but had us wait to board as we were waiting for another group. We waited and waited, the other group did not arrive- she rushed us onto the Capri Island shuttle, and by then, no seats available. She told us to proceed on our own, get a drink while she waited for the other family. We did and finally when the other family arrived, we were to abandon our drink order and "hurry up" in order to see the gardens. After this we returned back to Naples to catch a van to Pompeii...a site my son was really looking forward to to see the ancient wrestling grounds (he's a wrestler in college). We go to catch the van, and the driver has locked his keys ion the car...chewing up an hour...finally off to Pompeii where there was no time to see the wrestling grounds which I was assured there was time to do. The other group ditched the Pompeii guide and never made it back in time for our return. Waiting and waiting for another family -no respect for time. HUGE DISSAPPOINTMENT
