What people love about Pompeii Tours
- Local Living Italy—Amalfi Coast Winter
Would 100% recommend this tour. The accommodation in itself was fantastic, with postcard worthy views, and we were very well looked after by our hosts. Going in Winter meant some shops in the towns weren’t open and it was quiet but it allowed us to enjoy the scenery of the coast and access places easily.
- La Dolce Vita Experience
Our trip to the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii and Sorrento was great. The tour guides were very well organised and led three very good tours for us. Each tour was of a different theme and this made for an interesting few days. Our accommodation at the Grand Hotel Vesuvio was very comfortable, and the pool on a hot day was an added bonus. The staff were very nice and most helpful.
- Amalfi Coast Experience
Loved it! The Amalfi Coast is an absolute gem and is worth seeing if you have the opportunity. I am really glad I chose to explore this beautiful coastline with Italy on a Budget Tours. I am a solo traveller so I really enjoyed getting to meet new people and not having to worry about organising transport, accomodation etc. The group I was with comprised of 17 people from Australia and New Zealand. They were all friendly and were so much fun to be around. The tour guides were fantastic. Funny, caring and very knowledgeable. They were more than happy to hang out with our tour group and made the experience all the more enjoyable. Breakfast provided. Comfortable transport. The accommodation is in a camping village which means for the budget option you get communal showers, bugs and no fans or airconditioning. It is probably worth the upgrade if camping isn't your thing. Great tour. Beautiful Scenery. Awesome people. Thanks Italy on a Budget Tours!
