The visit to pompeii was unforgettable. To see this up close was amazing. We included a light lunch with wine tasting that turned out to be a vineyard visit set in a beautiful location with a three course meal and 4 glasses of wine.
Mt Vesuvius was an experience not to be missed with stunning views of the peninsula.

I can't imagine trying to see Pompeii without a guide. I had no idea how large it is and without someone along pointing out details and explaining the history, so much would have been missed. The lunch break before going to Vesuvius was lovely as it was rather hot outside and having a break at the vineyard was perfect. Walking up Vesuvius was a bit harder than I expected, but we made it - we are both "70-somethings" (my shoes are a dusty mess :)

Excellent location with beautiful views. We were 3 couples and 2 singles. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to spread out in. Pool was very nice with a beautiful outdoor area. Host responded quickly to our questions and was never intrusive on our stay. This stay definitely enhanced our Sorrento experience.

Pompeii was amazing and wish we had a full day here to immerse in more of the history but alas we had other activities planned; like lunch and hiking the caldera of Mt. Vesuvius. Paola did. Great job coordinating and ensuring we had breaks, water, lunch, and of course limoncello! The heat was high the day of our tour but the amount of information was amazing. Lunch could have been better with fans to cool off. Our guide in Pompeii was great and knew his stuff! Would book him for a private Pompeii tour.

Really enjoyable full day experience. Pompeii brilliant to see personally, having only seen on the TV before. Didn't realise the site was so huge. Good to be dropped approximately a mile from the summit of Vesuvius. Still a good walk to the top in the heat!

This tour was excellent. The guide was an archaeologist and was really friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We felt that we saw the most interesting (to us) parts of Pompeii thanks to the guide. The actual site is massive and would take at least two full days to see most if not all of it. Lunch was a good opportunity to talk with other travellers. The climb up Vesuvius was hot and a little hard work, but certainly worth it. We were taken for a Limoncello tasting on our return which was very nice and really entertaining. Overall, an excellent tour well worth the money.

We really enjoyed the Pompeii tour and hike up Vesuvio. In Pompeii however the guide was obviously keen to get through his tour in the allotted time, whilst not an issue to us, we occasionally lost his signal over the headphone as he marched through more built up sections. We kept up reasonably well, but there were quite a few who struggled a bit. Getting all of Pompeii into a 2 hour tour would be impossible but I wish I'd seen the amphitheatre.
We were told by the guide that the lunch would be in a family vineyard with individual family members involved in providing our meal. This gave the impression that the location was reasonably intimate but it was far from it. The restaurant had many large rooms each with maybe 200 people, it was very much a massive production set up. The meal and the service was reasonable but the ambience not quite what we expected.

Thoroughly enjoyed this day trip
Paola and Miguel kept everything running smoothly from start to finish. Miguel’s driving was spot on and he navigated the roads with ease.
At Pompeii our guide was Monica who was very passionate about the history and made sure we got to see all the good bits (6 cruise ship tours were also there in the day we visited).
The lunch and wine tasting was excellent
Final stop to mount Vesuvio which can be a challenging climb and we were lucky enough to have a hazy day.
We did make another final stop for toilets and limoncello tasting.
I would definitely recommend this day out.

The trip was exactly how it is described however the lunch was a complete disappointment. Lunch was not as presented. It was in a restaurant and the food was boring at best. Wine tasting also was rushed and not spaced out with our lunch.
