Sasa best guide ever - Easy transfer from Sorrento Greeted by the tour manager at the site, she simplified the entry into Pompei Early morning, ideal for less crowds Our guide, Sasa was amazing! Very knowledgeable and gave a great historical background. He asked if we had any preferences , he knew the highlights and helped us avoid large groups around the sites. He was able to share interesting details and fun facts. Perfect pace. Answered all our questions. Was friendly, funny and respectful. He gave us time for exploring and photos. Checked on our understanding and enjoyment throughout the tour and really made our experience of the site outstanding,

Excellent tour! - We had the good fortune of having Sasa as our tour guide for a morning tour of the Pompeii ruins. He was very knowledgeable and had a real passion for the history of the Pompeii people. Whilst you could spend hours walking through the site we had limited time and Sasa was excellent at providing a good overview and showing us the highlights. We highly recommend his services.

Amazing!!! - I cannot recommend highly enough! Pickup and drop off at our hotel was seamless and the driver was so friendly. Sasa is the absolute best guide! Unbelievably knowledgeable - he’s been doing this a long time! He was super funny, engaging, and I cannot believe how much we learned from him. He was accommodating of our timeframe, and worked hard to maximize what we were able to see. Entry tickets being included in the price meant we got to skip the line which is VERY worth it. I absolutely recommend booking with Enjoy Pompeii!

Follow Frankie!! - Frankie was the BEST tour guide ever. He had such a great sense of humor, but also knew all of the important serious history of Pompeii. This was a great way to spend a few hours stepping back in time. 10/10 recommend!

Wonderful time with Francesco! - Learned so many new and unique facts about Pompeii and Roman life I hadn’t heard before. We had a blast walking through the ruins. Our guide Francesco kept up our spirits as it was raining a little but I think that was best - we had the place to ourselves! My husband isn’t the biggest fan of these tours, and even he was staying engaged throughout the tour and laughing at all the jokes and fun facts. Thank you for a great experience!

Love Sasa the guide and the experience overall! - Sasa was the best guide ever! He was personable, fun and had so much knowledge. He made the experience very enjoyable and it is the highlight of our trip to Italy so far. Love him! The car ride to and from Pompeii was also comfortable. I recommend this to anyone.

Pompeii tour roundtrip from Sorrento - We were picked up at our hotel in Sorrento at the designated time and had a great ride to Pompeii with two other couples in a Mercedes van. Once there, we were met by our guide, Francesco (Frankie). If there is any way to request a guide, I would suggest Frankie without a doubt. He has an infectious laugh and had us rolling the whole time. He gave very detailed, little known facts throughout tour. The ride back to Sorrento was equally smooth. I would definitely recommend this tour.
