“This was a really nice trip, pompeii in particular was very interesting. Our main guide was natasia, she was excellent, lots of fun facts and stories. Our driver was Danilla and he was also excellent especially along the coastal roads. I’m not sure the trip to the lemoncello factory was needed. They didn’t show it being made or anything it was really just a shop but other than that I enjoyed the tour”
