      You'll meet the guide that will take you around the Ancient city and you'll be visiting the most importants public and private edifices such as the Forum, the Thermal Baths, Menandro's House, the brothel called Lupanare with its erotic frescoes and many other houses and buildings. You’ll stroll into the uncrowded southern part of the ruins: in this area you’ll see the famous plaster casts that are the bodies of those who died during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius on 79 A.D. Then you'll head to the theaters and crossing the streets along its north side. For the better part of an hour, you may be able to feel as if you are in Pompeii with its ancient inhabitants

      Terrific tours and transfers
      My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Sorrento Tour Guide! They helped us transfer between Rome and Positano and took us on an amazing tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Everyone, from Antonio the co-owner who drove us to Positano to our wonderful and informed guide, was absolutely terrific. The tour included terrific information, a private and safe feel, and a wonderful stop for lunch at a beautiful winery at the foothills of Mount Vesuvius. I had always wanted to travel to Pompeii and see this site, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Wonderful!

      Antonio is the best driver in the Amalfi coast
      Antonio was the best host and driver I have ever had. He is extremely nice it's like being with your really fun uncle. Super punctual and informative since you're experiencing the Amalfi coast with a local. We laughed the whole ride. He took us around to the Amalfi coast as well as Positano (I loved him so much I booked him twice). If you are looking for an experience and knowledgeable driver you cannot go wrong with Antonio. When I come back I will book him again hands down!!

      Most trustful driver in Sorrento!
      I spent 6 weeks in Sorrento this summer and Antonio was my driver for the bulk of it. In the beginning, I tried several other drivers but I found Antonio to be the most reliable. He was extremely communicative, helpful, and trustworthy. I knew I could always call him or text him at any time of the day and he would do his best to help me. I referred him to all my friends and they all raved about him as well. I highly recommend Antonio and look forward to coming back to Sorrento with his help!

      Antonio is the best driver and tour guide in Amalfi Coast!
      I’ve been in the Amalfi Coast for over a month, and I can whole heartedly say that Antonio gave me the best experience as a driver! He is born and raised in the Amalfi Coast, along with his 8 siblings, so he truly embodies the local experience. He is so passionate about his home and it shows in every way he explains his country, shows you the best spots, and wants to include you as a family member yourself. I also felt so safe with him as a solo traveler and will go with him again to drive from Sorrento to Tuscany! Grazie Antonio! La Gitana Argentina

      Airport to Hotel Taxi
      We used Antonio for the taxi journey from Naples airport to our hotel in Vico Equense and back. He provided excellent communication throughout and was punctual. The taxi was clean and Antonio was very friendly. Good value and we thoroughly recommend him. Thanks Antonio.

      Half Day City Tour of Naples
      Our half day tour of Naples by car and on foot was just what we wanted. Our driver, Antonio, expertly drove us through Naples while our guide, Antonella, gave us the history of the sights we were passing by —the Royal Palace, the Naples Cathedral and the Posillipo quarter where we saw incredible views of the Bay of Naples. It was the perfect mix of driving and walking for us. Antonella’s knowledge of the city was impressive and her humor was refreshing. Her tips on good restaurants to try and shops to investigate were much appreciated. I highly recommend Antonio and Antonella and their half day city tour of Naples.

      Fantastic Guide
      Ilaria is a licensed local tour guide who is wonderful. You can do local sights or historical tours. Her knowledge is vast and she is so much fun to be with. We chose to take a boat ride around Capri and then had lunch at the top of Annacapri at Ristorante da Gelsomina. Had the best ravioli pasta EVER. Ilaria is always aware of time and really can personalize anything you want. Perfect English.

      Combined Private Guided Tour to Pompeii and Herculaneum
      We visited Pompeii and Herculaneum the same day: Pompeii acheological site presents an large ancient Roman town, and Herculaneum presents a very well preserved rich suburb, so these two are complimentary to each other. We had a private guided tour by Ilaria Montuori, a certified guide, who was very good and pationate, made our tour very interesting and we were able to learn many more things about the roman life 2000years ago. We strongly recommend Ilaria (Sorrento Tour Guide) for the important information she provided throughout the tour; in addition, we were able to skip the long lines and use the fast line for guided tours. Using the public trains (not private buses) from Napoli Piazza Garibaldi Train station, (take the Circumvesuviana trains that connect Naples with Herculaneum, Pompeii, and Sorrento) is an easy and economical way to reach the sites. Ilaria was with us through the train journey, because we met at the central station in Naples, so she was able to tell us things about the sites we were going to visit.

      Private tour of Pompeii and Almafi coast
      My wife and I had the pleasure of a private tour by Sorrento Tour Guide today. Our tour guide, Ilaria and our driver, Antonio were excellent. Ilaria’s knowledge and passion for the history, art and culture helped us fully enjoy the day. Antonio drove his Mercedes van around the winding roads masterfully and stopping to show us the most picturesque views. If you want to make best use of your time and money than I would highly recommended this wonderful tour company.

      Fantastic tour of Pompeii
      My husband and I booked a tour with Ilaria in Pompeii for three hours. We particularly liked that her tours could be done at any time as we struggled to find an afternoon tour online. This was particularly important for us as we were coming from Rome that morning. Ilaria met us outside our hotel in Pompeii and her tour was very informative and genuinely enjoyable for us both. She has outstanding knowledge about Pompeii and even where to get the best photos! I would highly recommend her to others.

      Wonderful Experience
      Our family had a wonderful experience with Sorrento Tour. First, the trip to San Giovanni, Rotondo and Mt. Gargano revived our faith. Second, the amazing architectural design of ancient Pompei and the food in Naples captured our hearts. Then, the beautiful Sorrento and its wonderful Christmas decor. And lastly, the medieval ambiance of Caserta. We learned so much from Ilaria and Antonio, they are very accomodating and know how to adjust well to our needs. We highly recommend them to families who would like to visit Italy.

      Pompeii Presented Perfectly!
      We recently toured Pompeii, Positano and Sorrento with Ilaria as a full-day excursion while on a cruise. It was just the two of us and we enjoyed beautiful weather and a remarkable experience. Ilaria is extremely knowledgeable guide and accompanied us the entire time in Pompeii with a detailed and articulate tour of this fascinating site. Take note that there is a driver as well so her attention was focused on us with pick-up and drop-off "curbside". The drive to Positano was beautiful but this seaside town built on the side of the steep mountain was a little "touristy" with some steep climbs if you have any mobility issues. For cruisers, this excursion is comparable in cost to the "retail" of a group of 30-40 from the ship with a much superior experience.

    The city is spectacular, we were only able to stay for three and a half hours because it was a round trip by car from Rome. More time is needed because there is a lot to see. I'm not giving it a total score because it seems to me that it could be better explained. The PDF guide that you download on your mobile to see things on your own is very complete but it is more than 150 pages and it is not practical to search point by point. There could be a summarized explanation for each point, especially the important ones. Or a QR code to see it in a more agile way.

    Rain, Rain, and some more Rain. But we did see Pompeii. We was supposed to see Mt. Vesuvius and Naples, but the rain, lightning and hail kept us from seeing those two sites. We did get to eat and then got a short tour of Pompeii. The guide was very apologetic about the rain and what we couldn't do, but couldn't give us any refunds or credit, it was up to City Wonders.
    If it wasn't raining (flooding) then this tour would be the one to take.
    PS. I did email City Wonders about what had happened and they did give us 20% back on our ticket.

    I was in November in the city of Pompeii after a few days in Rome ... I liked the latter a lot more ... I found order and cleanliness ... and if you like history do not forget to visit this city that had a catastrophe in in 79 AD ... a city worth visiting ... you can take an excursion from Rome ... you go to the Civitatis website and everything is very simple ... 140 euros person ... or you go on your own and the entrance costs 40 euros ... but it is not included tourist guide food ... the first is worth its price

    I would give this tour a 10/10 review. Ilaria made our experience way better than we could have imagened. She had answers to all of our questions and is very educated. We were already excited to be there but her enthusiasm and knowledge about Pompeii made us even more excited to learn. Ilaria is so kind and I would do another tour with her in a heartbeat!

    We were a group of 4 and hired Ilaria for a 3 hour tour of Pompeii. We met her at the agreed time at the train station to start the tour. Ilaria is very knowledgeable about the history of life in Pompeii, as well as the art and buildings that can still be seen. She gave a very informative explanation and sought out examples of things that we asked about. We liked her tour so much that we hired her for a Herculaneum tour a few days later.
