This is a complete waste of money. We paid almost €400 for the experience (there were 2 of us) but they only things included were the lunch with wine and the driver. The lunch with wine can be purchased separately for €35 each (€70) which means we paid over €300 for the driver. He was amazing but it’s completely overpriced. We were only travelling from Sorrento. The tickets to Pompeii weren’t even included.
The ‘3 course lunch’ advertised was dreadful. The starter was a plate of meat and cheese thrown together. The pasta course was awful - completely tasteless spaghetti with a few cherry tomatoes. The pasta wasn’t even cooked - it was rock hard. The meatballs were freezing. And then the dessert was a bland cake.
The ‘wine tasting’ was 5 minuscule wines. I know tasting glasses are small but this was ridiculous - it wouldn’t even have amounted to a small glass combined.
The ‘local olive oil and wine vinegar tasting’ was literally someone pouring oil onto a plate and then adding a little bit of wine vinegar. That’s it! Laughable.
Really regrettable experience and expenditure. Choose another tour with better value for money!
