Great experience - Our knowledgeable and witty guide Sasa is a great storyteller and also attentive to our comfort finding shade in every spot. Sasa made it a memorable experience putting into the living history of Pompeii as a thriving society, not just a scene of destruction.

Pompeii with adult family - It is a hot, physically challenging place even at 9.30 in the morning in late June. However it is an amazing experience that gives you a real impression of life at the time. Our guide was very informative and helpful and really knowledgeable.

Pompei, Sorrento, Amalfi trip - The guide Patricia is brilliant. The free time in Sorrento is not 3 hours as stated but only 1.5hr, which was disappointing. They have a half-hour visit to a lemon factory, which was useless, and most of the guests knew this is one of them commission visits they arranged, could have cancelled that and gave extra time in Sorrento. Pompei is amazing. The guide was very good. Only let down was they didn't show us the amphitheatre.
