Hotel was very good, trip to Pompei and Heraculon very well organized. The first night guide and drive around Naples was not informative and seemed haphazardly put together, the pizza dinner was ok, not great.

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!
