個人ツアーなので、人が少ないところから優しく丁寧に回ってくれて快適でした

ポンペイ観光でRosellaさんに日本語ガイドをお願いしました。 ポンペイの遺跡について分かりやすく丁寧に説明してくださり、とても楽しく見学することができました。 また、ガイド中だけでなく、ドライバーさんとのやり取りの際にも通訳をしてくださり、安心して過ごすことができました。街中を歩く際の注意点や、おすすめの歩き方なども教えてくださり、とても心強かったです。 母との旅行でしたが、私たちのことを気遣いながら案内してくださり、Rosellaさんのおかげで安心してポンペイを楽しむことができました。 とても親切で素敵なガイドさんです。Rosellaさんにお願いして本当によかったです! 英語版 We had Rosella as our Japanese-speaking guide for our visit to Pompeii. She explained the ruins clearly and carefully, and we really enjoyed learning about Pompeii with her. She also helped us communicate with our driver, by interpreting for us, which made us feel very comfortable throughout the day. She also gave us helpful advice about walking around the city and things to be careful about. I was traveling with my mother, and Rosella was very thoughtful and considerate of us. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy Pompeii with peace of mind. She was such a kind and wonderful guide. We are very happy that we chose Rosella! 😊

No Refund

We were provided with the meeting point at the cruise exit security gate. We arrived on time in a chaotic area filled with taxi drivers and cruise passengers. The tour operator was nowhere to be found in the crowd. After 15 - 20 minutes of scrambling to find the tour bus and operator, we managed to have a local taxi driver call the world tour office, only to be told the driver had left and that we were considered a no-show. We were in fact there, on time. We requested a refund and was flatly told NO. We called Viator for assistance in getting our refund. Viator was absolutely NO help! They are simply a middleman bookie. I strongly urge to avoid WorldTours in Naples or book with caution!

Thanks for everything

The tour was very enriching, with a guide who knew his subject very well. Even though there were a lot of people, he managed to keep them waiting in the best possible atmosphere.

Pity about the chaos

Pickup was chaotic our names weren’t even with the pick up guide so had to show our confirmation 3 times. Having said that she was pleasant which is more than I could say for the driver who was just rude to us. Pompeii guide was very good but cheap headsets could do with with a little investment and upgrade. All in all just okay
