Amazing

Amazing day!!! The driver Antonio Carola was perfect from start to finish, he made us feel safe and happy the entire day and did whatever he could to make sure we had a nice time, the best driver! The guides Giancarla and Alessio at the sites were amazing, their expertise and enthusiasm was so appreciated throughout the day. An absolutely perfect day that I would do again in a heartbeat. Would 100% recommend for those staying in Naples.

Great guide. Don’t opt in the lunch

Rafaello our guide was superb, very knowledgeable and very professional. However the transport logistics were rushed at Herculaneum and even though we paid for the lunch opt in we never received any. They took us to a expensive hotel restaurant and that was it, then I wasn’t able to get a refund for the opt in lunch.
