The tour was amazing and our guide Cosimo made the experience even better. He also recommended a restaurant in Rome where we had the best meal we had in Rome. The guide at Pompeii was very knowledgeable and also made history fun. Highly recommend the tour.

Great

Firstly it's a small group which is excellent. The amalfi was breathtaking and beautiful to get around but be prepared it is very Touristy and very busy with small narrow walk ways. The shops sell really beautiful things you can't find in other countries and the beach is lovely for a swim. Pompei was the highlight, I wish we had longer because there is so much to see and do. We had a different guide specifically for Pompei and she was a wealth of knowledge you could tell she was passionate and it makes you feel passionate. The actual tour guide from the company was very nice but didn't add anything to the day. Essentially just a chaperone but an English speaking bus driver could do the same. Overall it's a long but rewarding day.
