Hi there!my grandparents were born in south Italy: this tour was really exciting x me thanks to the very local nice guide.Thenks to her I will book 2 more nights in Sorrento living local places that she showed me! Recommended to everybody especially if you stay few days in this way you have from the guide overview of the history of art,local gastronomy'secrets also curiosities unknowned before today! With guide after visiting historical places we had lunch first the special pizza in a secret local pizzeria and then a free taste of many local drinks and cookies hand made biscuits and I have been in love at the end of the tour with even shot drinks as I have only seen in Spain like Chupito but here I drank lemon cream never drunk before in my life!Finally tonight will have dinner at Antonino's family of fishermen in Sorrento on the sea where I go for their friendliness and spagheti with seafood and a great big grilled octopus never seen in my life!Many Thanks!

I was born in Sorrento, but I have always worked abroad.Exceptional to live this experience.We were struck by the savoir-faire and involvement of the very professional guide.He made us discover places that only the inhabitants of Sorrento know.Places that I only remembered. as a child I went back in time really happy.Thanks to the sympathy of the guide who introduced us to the local fishermen too.It was nice to live and rediscover Sorrento.We suggest the tour to those who want to experience true Sorrento with details, stories and legends and with the best local pizza and the fantastic artisan limoncello of Sorrento that is not available elsewhere! Thanks to the guide we discovered unimaginable places and I am proud of the experience. Soon we book this tour with all my family and friends also in Naples. See you soon! Giulio

Excellent day, if there are 6-8 people in your party I would highly recommend this tour as cost is approx £900. The driver was waiting for us 30mins early in a lovely Mercedes minibus, travelled to Pompeii where we met our guide, he was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and spoke great English. Pompeii is huge and we spent about 3hrs there where he showed and explained soo much about it and I suspect would be lost in a large group. On to Herculaneum for a similar experience then up to Vesuvius to be dropped off close to the entrance, spent approx 90mins walking up/down with the driver pulling into the carpark as we came down. As mentioned above it is an expensive day and you could join other trips of 20-30 people in a group but the personal touch this trip gave was worth the extra £30-£40 it probably cost us each.

This experience was fantastic. Great value for what you got. Viviana/Vivian was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. 10/10 recommend.

The activity is super interesting. The guide Alfredo made it even more interesting.
