Beat the crowds with an early coach from Sorrento to Pompeii, skip the long entry line, and tour the ruins with English-speaking guides.

Half-day Capri and Blue Grotto cruise from Sorrento with small-group views, swim time from the boat, and Prosecco and limoncello.
“Disaster!! We started late. The tour should have been cancelled due to weather. A few minutes into the trip the water became turbulent. Passengers had to hold on, backs wrenched. Several passengers got sick. We had to get off the boat in Capri because it wasn’t safe to continue. The rain was terrestrial, there was thunder and lightning. We had to seek shelter at a cafe because there was nothing else to do. Contacted the tour operator several times regarding a refund with no response.”

A small-group half day above Sorrento with cheese making, olive oil and lemon tastings, homemade wine, and a wood-fired pizza class.
“Wonderful family run tour. Definitely my family’s favorite experience in Italy. Learning the processes of farming and making some of the Italian specialties of the region was highlighted by the excellent service and guidance of this impressive family. We had toddlers to elderly in our group and all were catered to and cared for so that each person walked away with full bellies, smiles and memories that you will treasurer.”
4-hour guided Herculaneum tour from Sorrento with an AC bus and entrance fees. Walk Roman villas and well-preserved frescoes.
“The guide arrived very late, so people were looking for him . The guide didn’t provide with a good information due to poor language skills. Moreover, after the tour the drop off location was changed for travellers. Not good experience.”
A half-day Amalfi Coast drive from Sorrento with timed stops in Positano and Amalfi, free time in both towns, and English support.
“Tommaso was wonderful. Six longtime friends took the half-day coast tour from our cruise port of Sorrento in Tommaso’s roomy Mercedes SUV. He was very communicative with messages ahead of our visit, such that we had no issues making connection on the pier the morning of our tour. Amalfi & Positano were very crowded with tourists the weekend we ended up being there, so having Tommaso there to get us through all of that was a godsend. Then at the end of the half-day, he was able to get us lunch reservations at a great local place in the heart of Sorrento - pizza with wonderful homemade limoncello!”
