Our guides Luigi and Nancy really made our trip special. Nancy was fantastic in Pompeii, explained things very clearly, with humour to keep us all informed and engaged. Luigi drove smoothly over the mountains and Amalfi Coast, sharing lots of information about history, economy and agriculture of the region. We really can recommend this tour.

Amazing trip. Stopped in Pompeii for a few hours, along the road to get pictures along Almafi coast, positano. Only 12 in our group but able to feel like I was just with my family other than the bus. Excellent trip!
