Tomas was an excellent tour guide - Tomas was an excellent guide. He was patient. He answered our questions. He compared/contrasted Hercules with Pompeii since many of us did the Pompeii tour that morning.

Excellent guide, very informative showing us the highlights of Herculaneum. - Really enjoyable afternoon with our guide showing and describing the highlights of Herculaneum on a boiling hot day. Guide was incredibly knowledgeable and answered any questions put to her which made the visit very interesting and personal. Herculaneum was fascinating and inspired us to visit the Naples Archaeological Museum the following day. This was a great follow up to the visit as we could see so much of what has been preserved from this historical place and from what is arguably the most important historical period and people in Europe.

Interesting and illuminating experience - An excellent day, despite the sweltering heat. Pick up was simple. Both the coach and site guides were very engaging. Would highly recommend as we learned stuff that would probably be missed on a self guided walk.

Quick overview, book longer tour if you want more time to explore - Tour guide Tomaso was great. Knowledgeable and funny. He walked very quickly—so if you have mobility issues you might want to check with your operators. Tour could have given more time To explore. Pickup was smooth from cruise port.

Not happy! - We (3 of us) went to their original pick-up site but they had changed it. There were no Ubers or taxis available, so no way to get to the correct one in time. We contacted them several times about our predicament, but were told we had to come to them. They documented us as no shows.
