This tour was amazing! The driver Luigi picked us up in Sorrento at our request, instead of Naples, which made it very easy. Our guide, Roberta, was very knowledgable and friendly - we had a great time and would definitely recommend both this tour and Roberta!

Olivia was very knowledgeable and she adjusted to our pace.

Elen was a great tour guide. We learned a great deal about Prague and the communist era. She was gracious enough to share some of her family's personal experiences during that time. It was a very informative tour and gave us a deeper understanding of the time period.
