What a wonderful experience we had with Welcome Italy tours with Jazzy as our most excellent guide! Our driver was also excellent. On the drive to Pompeii, Jazzy provided a history of each region as we passed, pointing out key interests. Once we reached Pompeii, we were handed off to Francesco, whose knowledge of Pompeii and the area are unmatched, with the exception of perhaps his mother, who has been an archeologist in Pompeii for 40 yrs. I guess that is why he knows everything.
Our next stop was Positano down the Amalfi coast where we ventured through the narrow streets and had a wonderful lunch on the beach. We stopped in a small sandal shop and watched the skilled artisan make us several pairs of sandals, which he and his family have been doing for 3 generations in the same spot. Our next stop was Sorento for several phots ops. The ride back to Rome was long, but pleasant while Jazzy provided more knowledge and wit. All in all it was a long and wonderful day and we would recommend this tour to anyone that has a full day to spare.
