Perfect day out - Great day out with the excellent guide Maddie and her sidekick/driver, Jon. It was the perfect length of time for both experiences, although never enough time for the amazing Pompeii. Lunch was a delicious pizza and welcome beer - would thoroughly recommend this trip

Pompei and Vesuvius small group tour from Sorrento with pizza! - What a fantastic tour day hosted by Maddie and Salvatore. We couldn't have asked for more from the day. Comfortably driven around by Salvatore on some classic Italian narrow and windy roads. Maddie was a friendly, funny and approachable host, who went that extra mile to entertain, and surprise us all with small treats and surprises along the way, which made for a fantastic day. The walk up Vesuvius was indeed up! A lot of cloud cover unfortunately but on occasions we got a little glimpse of what could be seen both on the Naples side and inside the crater. A shame, but worth the experience being up in the clouds. On the decent back down we were treated to some limoncello tasting, which included mozzercello, yes, a mix of mozzerella milk and limoncello! Lush! So much so, we treated ourselves to a gift set. Onto lunch and the restaurant was great and the pizza was amazing! From lunch down to Pompei. The tour of the archaeological city of Pompei was led by Roberto. Roberto was clear and fluent on the history of the city and guiding us around the ruins. So amazing to understand that what we saw had once previously been buried under 17' of pyroclastic material from Vesuvius and they are still exposing parts of the city today! A small parting gift from Maddie on the way back to Sorrento was a Pompei fridge magnet...a nice little touch. This was a very enjoyable and great value for money tour and we would highly recommend Maddie and her team. Thank you Maddie, you made our day! You and your team were excellent!

Convenient Day Trip - Maddie was a lovely, bubbly and efficient host for our day drip. She offered a nice amount of chit chat throughout the bus rides without being too much! Salvatore was our driver and we were always safe while getting where we need to be in a timely manner! The tour was highly convenient if you are low on time during your stay. I would recommend doing Pompeii on your own if possible, since we only got to yvgvvvvvbb bc see about a quarter of the beach n

Great organization! - Brilliant trip. Ilena and Pasquale were phenomenal from start to finish. Got picked up outside Starhotels Terminus in Garibaldi station, so easy to get to. Then we went hiking Vesuvius first. Pro tip, take pictures on the way up as the clouds fall by the time you get down. Then had a surprise visit to taste limoncello and a delicious pizza and beer lunch. Ended at Pompeii which was spectacular. Pasquale was a fantastic driver and ilena was extremely funny and well organized. 10/10.

Not from sorrento - The title says, from sorrento. The tour leaves 1 hr outside of sorrento. Your forced to get the app. They leave message by email, send notices by app, contact you by whatsapp. Ridiculous. The app led us to the pickup point in sorrento. I get a whatsapp message at that time that the tour leaves an hour away. No refund. Never again with viator. The hotel offered the same trip, much cheaper. Call viator to talk to someone with broken english.
