The best way to see Pompeii, Positano and Sorrento! - We had an amazing day with Luca! He knew all the best routes to take in the crazy Italian traffic, had great stories of the area, and made sure we saw everything we wanted during our trip. They helped arrange a guide for Pompeii which was amazing. Great advice and super recommendations. We couldn’t ask for a better tour. Diana in the office made sure everything was well organized and all the details were covered. Everyone from Di Sarno was terrific! Ask for Luca - he will make your trip!

Fabulous trip - Our guide was great and helped make this a spectacular trip through the Amalfi Coast. Got to see some of the best spots on the coast. It’s a lot to pack into one day, but will help us plan our next trip.

Amazing Day with Mario! - We had an AMAZING day with Mario! He was honestly the best guide and driver, I can’t imagine our day being any better. Mario is extremely knowledgeable and so happy to share information about this region of Italy. We did book a guide at Pompeii and we were really happy we did. It’s hard to know what you are looking at without one. Note that the streets are narrow and windy, if you get motion sickness, do not forget meds! We spent a few weeks in the area and this one of our favorite days, thanks to Mario.

Punctual driver seeing many amazing sites with great views and ample time. - Our driver was Ahmed and he drove us to some amazing sites such as Pompeii, Sorrento and Positano (the Amalfi Coast). He drove us to some beautiful spots with the best viewpoints for amazing pictures and was always prompt in picking us up after our free time. We were given ample time at each location to see the sites, and had a wonderful day!

EXCELLENT tour with Francesco!!!! - Francesco was just fantastic in every way! He was prompt, informative, and went the extra mile to make sure we had fun! The scenery was beautiful and he knew all the best restaurants, shops, and scenic views. He made sure we were comfortable and had a great time.

Disappointing - Driver was nice, but was just a driver. Was driving through sights wouldn’t event stop in Positano for pics, we saw all other private drivers stopped at scenic route. The only reason we went to Sorrento is because I pushed to stop, shop and have lunch. He did take us to a great family restaurant with beautiful views for lunch. Summary, very rushed. Guides English was very limited and hard to understand. This was a driver and nothing else. Not worth 650.00 for two couples.

Substandard transportation - Driver was nice. Transportation was lousy, at best. Old commercial- like van. Seats weren't plastic but had basically no padding. Floor was metal. No armrests. No air vents for the passengers. It was really uncomfortable. By the end of the day my back hurt from being bounced around because of the rough ride. For a private tour that was so expensive, it was a seriously disappointing experience. Not worth the money. Two of five is generous.

Utility van, not a passenger-friendly vehicle - Our driver was very nice. Considering this was more expensive because it was a private tour, it was highly disappointing. The van we were in was very uncomfortable. It was an older Fiat. One of the seats in the second row was broken. The seats had barely any cushioning and there were no armrests. There weren't separate air vents for the passengers (in either the second or third row) and the ride was very rough to the point where our backs hurt. The floor was metal. It was like being in a commercial utility van. For a private tour at that cost, a comfortable ride with water bottles (since it wad summer) was a minimum expectation. Very, very poor for the price.
