What people love about Pompeii Tours
- La Dolce Vita Experience
Our trip to the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii and Sorrento was great. The tour guides were very well organised and led three very good tours for us. Each tour was of a different theme and this made for an interesting few days. Our accommodation at the Grand Hotel Vesuvio was very comfortable, and the pool on a hot day was an added bonus. The staff were very nice and most helpful.
- Local Living Italy—Amalfi Coast Winter
Overall this was a really nice tour! Anna was so sweet and a great guide. The only negative thing was that my dietary restrictions were misread in the beginning (I’m a pescatarian) So the first night there was a bit of confusion over my meal. They were able to remedy it though and find me a meat substitue. A few of vegetarian main dishes were kind of disappointing, but overall the food was excellent! I will highly recommend this tour to any friends looking to tour the amalfi coast!
- Amalfi Coast Experience
I went on the 4 day Amalfi Coast tour in early August 2013. The trip was absolutely wonderful 4 days of dreamy Italian sights, food and Fun! Irene was an amazing tour guide keeping a high level of energy, enthusiasm and passion for Italy going for the four days. The group was nice and intimate with 8 of us in total. Sunning ourselves on boat trips to Capri and Amalfi were my highlights including slurping on Lemoncello spiked granitas. Irene took us to amazing restaurants with good value set menu prices. You will not go hungry on this trip. Thanks again Irene definitely the best organised tour I have even been on!
