★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,148 reviews · 8 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $139

“Definitely worth the money to have a local driver and guide maneuvering the narrow, tricky roads. Added bonus was our guide unexpectedly coordinated a large group boat road around Amalfi for just an additional 20 euro each, which was worth it to see the views from the water. We opted in for the lunch in Ravello which was delicious.”

“A great way to see Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii. The hike up the volcano was moderate and you need to be pretty quick to get up and back in the time they provide. Make sure you wear good footwear too. Getting to see the crater with smoke coming out was incredible! The tour at Pompeii was great, the place is huge so it was nice getting shown all the most interesting parts with a guide. The lunch was a simple pizza bust very tasty. Only downside was the bus, it was quite old a bit cramped, the aircon was also freezing for everyone on board.”

Dana always checked with our older guest in our group to make sure they were comfortable with all the walking we were doing. The use of the headphones was brilliant ad we could still hear Dana giving us the stories even if we found ourselves at the back of the group. The tour was not rushed…”

“I cannot say enough good things about this tour. I did my research before booking, but the main thing that attracted me to this particular excursion, was the fact that it is family run. When you are on the boat, you are not on a family’s boat… you are on YOUR family’s boat. Fabio, Enza and their amazing family know this island inside and out, and they throw one amazing party all day long! The food. The booze. The vibe. You feel right at home from the moment you board, till the moment you unfortunately have to disembark. My wife and I had incredible days everyday in Ischia, but this…”

Maybe a little background music could make the atmosphere a bit better, it was awkwardly quiet but could have been our group! I appreciated that each person ate their own cooking rather than getting it mixed all together, you could then see how well you had done and a good way to control allergies too!”

“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.”
