NANDO IS KING

Nando picked us up from the airport and I arrived early as he was parking, a quick call and he was there in a minute. Beautiful man who explained history, trips, family and much more. I'd highly recommend him to anyone and I must say I'm very fussy. No weird smells, no over talking, all very natural and friendly. Perfecto, he even helped me with my (non) Italian and carried my case which I swear weighed more than him. Thank you so much we appreciate you <3
Wonderful Private Tour to Pompeii and Herculaneum

We wanted a private full-day trip from our Naples hotel to Pompeii and Herculaneum and Sorrento Tour Guide did not disappoint.
Our guide Ilaria’s enthusiasm and personality combined with her in depth knowledge of history and the region made her a pleasure to spend the day with. Not only had she secured our tickets in advance making entry to the sites seamless, Ilaria factored in a lunch break with a restaurant recommendation—a welcome and much appreciated respite from the crowds, which she skillfully navigated in the heat of the day. In addition, prior to our Naples arrival, her email communications were friendly, informative and helpful as our plans evolved.
John, our driver was a delight with his quick smile, ease of communication and warm hospitality. More important, he was professional and his driving skills put us at immediate ease and allowed us to relax, soak in the views and enjoy the journey without a single worry.
We had a fantastic day, a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this tour company.

Professional driver Antonio met us up at the Naples train station to our hotel. There was a traffic and he knew all side roads. My GPS said 2 hours to the hotel, he got us there in one hour. Our orivate van was comfortable, clean, new, no complaints. 1st class.
