“The tour of Pompeii was very informative. The views from vesuvius were astonishing. The timrline says approximately 7 hrs it was more like 8 which really made me feel rushed as I was on a cruise ship. At Pompeii we had a meal them too much down time this could have been used traveling to vesuvius and gotten us back earlier. I did share my concerns with guides and they ensured we had returned to the ship in time.”

“We were picked up at the cruise port by a driver who was already there when we disembarked. We collected 2 guides on route to our first stop.. a large cathedral , we waited about 15/20mns for the rest of the group to arrive so we just had a more leisurely look around/take some photos of the cathedral rather than stand on the street which was nice before heading around with the group..we then drove around the city, which was nice to see...i should have wrote down the name of our guide, she was very knowledgeable and offered to take photos at the top of the city looking down towards…”

“We took this tour as part of a shore excursion, but turned out to be too much for one day and almost missed our ship. Once at Pompeii, the Guide gave us 10 minutes to get use the restroom. A girl decided to use the restroom as the group was gathering to go in; so we all had to wait for her another 15 minutes before we could start. Once we got in to Pompeii, the tour was good and our Guide, Maria was very knowledgeable. The only issue-it is hard to hear with 1 ear piece and you get static if you get too far from the guide. When…”

Naples port shore trip to Amalfi and Ravello with coastal viewpoints, limoncello tasting, optional boat ride, and free time.
“The tour guide Mary was excellent. Very attentive, personable and knowledgeable. The driver Giacomo (sp?) was an excellent driver through these small towns and windy roads. However, this was an 8 hour tour. We spent a good amount of time in the small van driving through different areas of Italy on our way to the Amalfi Coast. Very beautiful drive. But the van was not large enough for our group. Every seat in the van was taken up and the seats were very small. The 4 seats in the back were very tight for 4 adults. The A/C was also inadequate.”

He made reservations for restaurants (walked us inside to introduce us to owners). Walked us into various towns to make sure we didn’t get lost. He then gave us our privacy to tour on our own. If there had been any problems he was a phone/text away. Our family tour included a three year old who he was very sweet with.”

“The site itself was nice. The booking information was unclear in multiple areas. When we arrived at Pompeii it was a complete cluster. Our initial bus guide couldn't locate our tour guide and when we finally located one, he initially informed us that we would not be getting head sets (he didn't have a loud voice) but after numerous people made comments, they decided our group could have headsets. Our group randomly stood around for a half an hour while waiting to enter. (our tour started at 1030 and we didn't enter Pompeii until 1205). Our guide was very passive and would let multiple groups pass us while telling us…”
Every kind of day out around the bay, and the best of each.
