Martina was a great guide at Pompeii. Very knowledgeable and she shared the information in a helpful way. The rest of the trip, checking in, getting there and then leaving was a disorganized mess. We were supposed to go to Sorrento but didn’t get to because we were short on time. If they hadn’t been so disorganized we wouldn’t have been short on time. Book another company. Our other Viator tours have been very good. This one was not.

Very disorganized. Our skip the line tickets were in a different bus. We booked the full day with Pompeii and then a trip to Sorrento.
Due to the disorganization we ended up only having 1 hour in Sorrento with an audio guide that we could not even get to all the places in the one hour time frame. We were looking forward to the time there but we were so rushed and worried about the time that it was stressful.
We did enjoy our driver to Sorrento who made sure we got back to the ship with 1/2 hour to spare.

Tour was good, no significant complaints at all. It just felt a bit disorganized at times with the staff trying to separate who was going where (Pompeii, Sorrento, etc), and that a lot of time was wasted trying to figure this out, which meant less time for Pompeii and Sorrento sights. The lunch provided was really good. The tour guide and included entrance into Pompeii was super helpful as well. 2 hours in Pompeii is not enough, but definitely gives you a good taste.

Pompeii was amazing! Our guide, Maria, was very knowledgeable, funny, and informative. We broke off after the Pompeii excursion and went with another couple to Sorento with a different guide. Sorento is beautiful. We will more than likely go here again for a period of time. Thank you, Viator for providing knowledgeable, professional, and timely tours. Your company made our Shore Excursions stress free.

I think for the money, it was ok, but not fantastic or even close to great. I want just first of all say that Maria, the tour guide for the first part of our tour in Pompeii had a very disorganized way of getting this tour started for the day. We had a couple of people who were not in the right location to meet up and get started. We waited for them which was ok. I would want someone to wait for us if we were in the wrong location. After this I was hoping we would be on our way to Pompeii. Instead, we spent at least an hour total between the first amount of time waiting for the people who were in the wrong location and then to move on and find people to pick up along the street to go on the tour and also pick people up at a hotel for a tour. This all was time we could have been spending at Pompeii. Instead we ended up with only about an hour and a half at Pompeii. We really felt rushed and my husband was especially disappointed because he had wanted to see Pompeii his entire life. I feel like at least the extra hour that was wasted with getting there along with all the other picking up of people and trying to sell more tours for more people to join us for this tour was such a waste of our time.



The day did get better after the Pompeii tour. Those that were going to Sorrento went and had a nice lunch, pizza, drink and ice cream. Then we had a different guide, Alex for the rest of the afternoon. We took about a 25 minute drive to Sorrento. Alex took us on a walking tour of Sorrento. It was very pretty and the 2nd half of our day was a lot less hectic and more enjoyable.



Overall, for the cost, if you plan to charge at least 100 a person, things should be organized and prompt. This was definitely chaotic for the first half of the day.

We took this tour as part of a shore excursion, but turned out to be too much for one day and almost missed our ship.

Once at Pompeii, the Guide gave us 10 minutes to get use the restroom. A girl decided to use the restroom as the group was gathering to go in; so we all had to wait for her another 15 minutes before we could start. Once we got in to Pompeii, the tour was good and our Guide, Maria was very knowledgeable. The only issue-it is hard to hear with 1 ear piece and you get static if you get too far from the guide.

When the Pompeii Tour was done, the group split by the next tour or returning back to the ship. Maria took the Sorrento people to lunch. There was supposed to be 12 for Sorrento but we were missing 3. It took about 30 minutes for Maria to find the missing tourists who had gone with the wrong tour. Then they had to eat, so we were about an hour late getting out, but we were assured that it would not be a problem.

The drive to Sorrento was amazing and Maria pointed out items along the way. Maria took us on a short walking tour, and we had about 30 minutes to shop then meet back at the end of the shopping street. One person was still shopping, so we had another 10 minute late start to head out. Because of all these delays, I was getting worried about getting back to the ship on time, but Maria said it would not be a problem.

When we left Sorrento, there was an accident that caused traffic to really back up. Again, I was thinking it was going to be a problem, but Maria said that they would have us back before the ship departed. Once we finally got more lanes, the driver made up time and I thought we would actually be OK on time to get back to the ship.

At about 5:15, we got in to the Port and I really thought we were going to make it, but that is when traffic came to a complete standstill. We crawled for the next 45 minutes within the Port and by this time I was really stressed that we were not going to make the ship by 6:30.

My husband had the GPS for our Port on his phone and I told him
