Very interesting with excellent guide
Thanks to our guide Andrea! He provided excellent commentary and managed a large group with ease. The hotel pick-up made it really easy to access the tour from Sorrento.

Hotel pickup was great as was the tour. Our tour guide was amazing. I wish i could provide her name she knew pompei inside and out
Excellent tour guide--knew his stuff and had a great sense of humor as well. One suggestion: We should've had headsets. Sometimes difficult to hear our guide, and we didn't want to miss a word!
We had a great trip and met some lovely people. The guides were very informative.
I loved Pompeii. To think so many people lived there ! Our guide was very pleasant. I was not so impressed with Naples, but the church we saw and the views were wonderful. I would not go to Naples without a guide, but with a guide, great!
If you're staying in Naples, then it's ok. If you're staying in Sorrento, then be prepared for a very tiring day. It's a 1-hour drive to Naples and then 3 minutes to Pompeii where you will spend most of the tour. Still, Pompeii was fantastic! Very, very interesting and worthwhile. Our tour guide was helpful and informative. However, she was not good at controlling her group. First they took us to a store where they sell corallo products and told us to have a look around. Some people left, others shopped so in the end we got lost and missed valuable time getting all gathered up again. Anyway, Pompeeii was really interesting. As far as Naples, we only had the chance to get in the Duomo. It would have been nice to get inside the Palazzo Reale and in some other sights. It was a good tour but very expensive and overpriced for what we got.
Good tour, guides knew their history. Could have spent longer in Pompeii ie could have been an extra half day. History in Naples an eye opener and very interesting.
Hotel pick up was great, however we missed hotel breakfast which started after our pick up. Our guide was great lots of fun we got great photos. There was no time allocated to lunch or souvenir shopping and only one hurried toilet stop (not everyone got to go) which reduced the enjoyment
it was worth doing. but not exciting.. not the guide's fault, but the world has striped pompeii of everything that is pompeii. all that is left is a lot of gravel. and brick. no heart left.

The Naples part of this tour was not that interesting but Pompeii certainly was. The tour leader had a good knowledge of the facts of Pompeii. Perhaps the group could have been better organised because there were English and Spanish speaking people in the group so the leader had to say everything twice. It is a long day out from Sorrento even though it says Half Day. We were picked up from our hotel at 7.15am and it was 3.30 before we returned. Don't plan anything else for the day if you choose to do this tour.
I would strongly suggest either eliminating the Naples part of the tour or changing the naples part of the tour to include the museum in naples where all the artifacts, etc. from pompeii are housed. The rest of naples with the exception of the church, was not worth going to and wasted a lot of time.

Naples is terrible, Pompeii was boring.
Good guide - just not my cup of tea
