Travel to Sorrento and Pompeii - The visit to Pompeii was spectacular, the guide Fabiano is an archaeologist and gave us all kinds of information.
The trip to Sorrento is very pleasant, it is only a pity that you stay very little time. But it is worth the excursion because the landscapes are magnificent and for those who do not have much time you will see a lot in a single day.
Take the hat off the driver, because driving on those roads is not easy. The guide was also friendly.

100% Recommend! - We had a wonderful day trip with Carrina Tours. Marcelo, Bruno and Iliana were excellent tour guides who are very knowledgeable about Sorrento and Pompeii and general Italian history. We learned a lot and some of it was very eye opening. The bus itself was very comfortable and VERY punctual. We would recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore Rome, Pompeii and the Italian coast. Such a beautiful experience!

Sasha tour guide was great - Sasha is a wonderful tour guide and human being. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He even rode the train with us to Sorrento since we decided to stay there. Everyone knows Sasha and that’s because his reputation is very well deserved. We already miss him and hope someday we will be lucky enough to see him again. The bus ride from Rome to Sorrento was very good. Gugliemo speaks 4 languages perfectly and is an excellent host! We enjoyed our time with him as well.
Little things that were just ok.. when they picked is up in Rome it was raining. Would have been nice for pickup to be covered and also for bus to move closer to us. We had to walk a lot in the cold rain then when we boarded the bus moved up :-)… Another small thing was the audio in Pompeii was difficult to hear due to technical difficulties. We kind of fixed it mid way but Sasha deserves better audio to tell his magnificent stories.
Everything else was great!

Thinking of Pompeii's Last Days - It was one of the places I wanted to visit at least once.
Each piece, including the restored townscape and the decoration of the remaining houses, made us imagine what the people who lived in Pompeii thought of their end.
It's good to see a movie titled "The Last Day of Pompeii" and then visit it to get your imagination going.

Martha was excellent.... - Martha was excellent. Very knowledgeable and coordinated. The tour started a bit late and then we had to wait for stragglers. The time was changed to 1/2 hour earlier and apparently some people didn’t receive the text. The only other thing was it was so incredibly crowded. That’s not the tour companies fault, but it was rather unpleasant being squeezed in like sardines. Would recommend.

Tour was great, jewelry stop not so much. - Fabiano and Francesca were both wonderful and made the tour worthwhile. However, the initial jewelry store stop was a money grab. It was irrelevant to Pompeii, and I would have either preferred to sleep an extra hour or visited the ruins. Don't fall for it.
The pizza was good, but it was a meeting space at a nearby hotel and I wasn't permitted to sit with my family bc they had specific table arrangements. So the food was good and also nice to be included, but not necessarily something I'd recommend to seek out.
That said, taking a guided tour of Pompeii was well worth the time and money. The bus ride was nice, with a stop along the way at a lovely hotel coffee/tourist spot. All in all, the time was well planned and we are happy with what we paid for.

50% satisfied - Pompeii was every interesting. I enjoyed the guide's telling of the story & history. The trip to Sorrento was not worth the value & time for the taste of lemoncello.

Our tour guide, Mikala,... - Our tour guide, Mikala, seemed very knowledgeable. When we arrived at Pompeii, we were handed off to Eliana for the on-site tour. We had a small group with us, but she walked way too fast. Most of the people in the group had a hard time keeping up with her. We continuously keep getting separated and she seemed annoyed that she had to wait for people to catch up. Especially with the uneven stones and walkways, this was frustrating that she went so fast. We were glad to get some information from her but it was not worth what we spent on it.
