Customer Reviews
We had an excellent time on the private tour with Sasha. He was extremely knowledgeable and also made the tour fun! . Highly recommended day trip from Rome. Our family all enjoyed!
Our driver was very nice and even made a lunch reservation for us overlooking the Bay of Naples. Sasha was a great guide. Funny and informative.
Sasha was fantastic. The amount of energy, humor, and knowledge is second to none. His family is from the area and he has a family history linked to Pompeii. I love when tour guides are passionate about the subjects you’re about to see. He also made it a point to ask us what parts we’d like to see more of on the Pompeii tour, which is important with kids. Sasha, thank you for being you and sharing a little part of your many experiences…next time we race though. I’m good for 40 feet. Happy New Year and many blessings…Ian
Seeing Pompeii’s ash-covered ruins and then Sorrento’s blue sea in one day was unforgettable. The contrast was striking and beautiful.
Expert made complex history simple, engaging; Sorrento free exploration pure delight.
