        Beautiful Pompeii and disappointing Vesuvius visit
        The day started well; driver told us that the other couple would not join us so it was a private drive. He was so personable. I told him that I might not go up the Vesuvius as I am afraid of heights and I chickened" up. I said I would wait for my husband in the car. He said no to worry as he would show us a beautiful view. Dropped us off to have our tour in Pompeii. That was great! the tour guide was very knowledgeable and our group was fun. We even told the coordinator that I might not go all the way up to the Vesuvius but will wait for my husband. After lunch, the driver was took us to the Vesuvius. En route, we stopped at a viewpoint. Mu husband and I were wondering why we spent so much time there. We turned back to Naples and I asked the driver about the Vesuvius and he start mumbling and we hear that we didn't have tickets?! I didn't want to argue with him; after all we didn't know this guy. He drove back thru the dirty part of the city, explaining the it was a faster way than the highway... Why would we pay that much to see the city of Naples on our way to the Vesuvius. We were disgusted by the way he handled the 2nd part of the tour. So our 3 stars are for Pompeii and the tour guide. Thank you to her.

        Nice day
        Pompei was fascinating, views from Mt Vesuvius were spectacular. Tour guide Chris and driver Sara were lovely and professional. Of note, it gets very hot in July, would recommend a cooler month. Walk to top of Vesuvius is hot and dry in July but worth it.

        5 out of 5 - you must see. We had no idea on what to expect and it blew our minds. The hike up to the Volcano can be difficult but work every effort.

        Very nice and educational
        The pickup was right on time. The driver and coordinator were prompt, professional and friendly. The Pompeii guide was awesome. He spoke very good English, was passions about the ruins, and very informative. The guide at Herculaneum was very knowledgeable but a bit hard to understand. Enjoyable and would do again. Shout out to Serena for her hospitality.

        A perfect day
        We booked this tour and it was the best choice ever. The coast of Amalfi is stunning, even in early march, very little tourists, our driver Riccardo was perfect. Excellent driver on this very challenging road, car in perfect conditions and he was super nice. He recommended us a wonderful restaurant and we had a perfect day. Thank you!

        Amazing experience
        Beautiful tour, amazing places, genuine and typical lunch in a little mountain restaurant. The driver and guide Riccardo is very friendly and expert. He created a good feeling among the passengers, despite they were from different countries (Italians, Greeks, Indians and Georgians). I reccommend this tour!

      We were very lucky to have Ricardo as our guide and driver. His knowledge of the regions and places through which he drove us is significant so he conveyed it all to us in a fun and witty way in perfect English. He even gave us a few typical culinary recipes along the way, which we will try in the near future.
      For some of us, it was likely that the serpentine along the Amalfi coast would be difficult, but Ricardo is an exellent driver and everything went well. All in all we spent a very pleasant few days whith him, just as if he was a part of our company. He is a very nice and attentive man. When and if we come to Naples again, we will definitely try to find him.
      So we highly recommend him and he gets our top raitings!!!

      We lucked out by getting Ricardo as our transfer from the airport to our Naples hotel. He was so good (and gave such good restaurant recommendations) that we ended up asking him to transfer us between hotels as well as having one of his colleagues take us on a tour of the Amalfi coast. The best way to see this part of the world is on a private tour with a knowledgable, friendly and funny driver.

      Ricardo was a brilliant guide showing us Naples, Positano and also Pompeii. He was thoughtful; funny; and very knowledgeable. He showed us the highlights of the drive to Pompeii where we added a second guide for a walking tour of the site. We enjoyed Ricardo so much that we booked the end of trip return journey to the airport through him. The most spectacular thing he helped us with was a side trip to locate ahead, and then take us to the British cemetery in Naples where my husbands Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather was buried in 1825. Yes 5x Great Grandfather! He’s the real deal.

      Awesome tour of Pompeii and Ercolano with Ricardo/Richard. He is so much more than your typical driver. He shares with you his knowledge of the history of the places you visit, suggests where to shop, eat and drink, where to go for a night out just like the Italian do. Money well spent, I definitely recommend to book Ricardo as your holidays guide. By the way the car is private, so there is no wasting time waiting around. You can also arrange with him for a pick up drop off from/ to the airport/ hotel. He speaks English fluently and has a terrific sense of humour. Amazing time in Italy. Thank you Richard we shall hopefully see you soon.

      Riccardo presented himself as our driver, but he was actually a great guide! He was very competent and explained the information in very good English. We learned a lot about Naples and surroundings and loved his way of explaining. He is enthusiastic and definitely loves what he is doing.
      He was also very attentive to the passengers, he knew the serpentines on the road could cause nausea so he was constantly asking if everybody was ok.

      Our driver Richard
      went out of his way to help find my Cousins in Torre Del Greco
      I had a name , no street address or phone number

      it was a Sunday
      the Town Hall was closed

      thanks to his ingenuity- he went into local shops- the florist recognized their name and was able to point us to their street

      Richard help us communicate with them
      it was touching
      I will see them again - all thanks to Richard
