Due to an injury we required a car service from our hotel in Naples to Rome Fiumicino Airport. Filippo Esposito was an excellent driver. He has a good command of English which is very helpful if you do not speak Italian. He pointed out some places of interest along the route but did not talk all the time and let us just enjoy the scenery. We would recommend Filippo to anyone looking for reliable transportation. He was also familiar with Rome airport and advised us on how to walk to the airport hotel.

We wished we could see Pope Francis but we could never expected we could see him so closely thanks to Rossana great effort. Rossana and our driver Luigi are both great persons and the visit to the Pope very well organized. They both were professional, supportive, engaging and very helpful. Rossana took really a great effort to make the visit tailored to our needs and she had great sense of humour. Big thanks to R and L. We would highly recommend this tour.

We were told by many people that you had to buy tickets online before going to Vesuvio, so we made sure we did this. On arrival we were then told that the reference number for the tickets was not enough so we could not enter. I should have received an email with a QR code which never arrived. We refreshed my email inbox and spam many times before trying to see if we could speak to someone about what we can do. The staff were very rude and said that there was nothing they could do. GIven this we are now having to try to get our money back which was taken even though we did not receive a QR code via email. So disappointing. Plus the whole nature reserve feels like it is being treated like a rubbish dump for Naples. You'd think this would be a place to be proud of with the history.
