Historical Tour of Herculaneum - Very well managed tour. Picked up on time in Civitavecchia and taken straight to Herculaneum. Spent two hours on guided tour. The site is extremely interesting, with very well preserved buildings, frescos and mosaics. This is a good value for money tour.

So much to see, not enough time. - We had Lello as our tour guide. He was very passionate about Herculaneum which made the tour very fun. We had a 2 hour tour and there was just not enough time to see everything. We felt a bit rushed and wished we had had more time to enjoy the unique features of the site.

Great but not for long for walk with walking steps. - Great experience but not for those with problems walking steps or a fair distance with slopes. Excellent tour guide and great info as far as we went.... well organised.

Great trip. Easy and convenient - We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with a local archeologist. The transport to and from the site was clean, and the driver and navigator were friendly and punctual.

Lack of acceptable transport flavored our trip. - Van ride to sight was terrible. Vehicle was filthy & old & seemed to have no shocks. We were packed in like sardines & had no leg room! We had to change vans before getting underway because there wasn’t enough room. Guide was very knowledgeable & prepared. She was a bit difficult to understand.

Bad communication - I believe the local company Viator used was Worldwide Tours. The tour itself was very good once we got there. The communication from the local company was horrible. Everything from Viator showed a 2:00 pickup at the ship. I checked that morning for any messages or changes before we took off for a walk around the town. There was nothing on the Viator app, email, or texts. Starting at 1:00, I started getting calls from an international number that I could not connect to. Finally I discovered that the calls were coming through WhatsApp which I did not have on my phone. I installed it and connected to the tour office who said they had sent out an email (through WhatsApp) that it was a 1:00 pickup and we were about to get left. I pleaded with them to wait 10 minutes so we could get there. It was actually a 15 minute jog (as much as 4 70-somethings could jog). They called before they were about to leave, but I said we were right down the street. So we did make it huffing, puffing, and sweating. I had tried to get the driver to pick us up in town but they insisted that we get to the pick up point. As we were leaving town, we drove right past where I was calling from 15 minutes earlier. I never had an email from this company or a message from Viator that I needed WhatsApp on my phone in order to communicate. This was the worse experience I had with Viator.

Comfortable minibus to Herculaneum - Not the small group tour we booked, but OK. We were the only two English speakers in a much larger group of Spaniards. The commentary en route was unintelligible due to a distorted PA system. On site, a local guide provided a tour in Spanish, while we were provided with audio guides in English. We chose to do our own tour with this. We feel we could have done as well using public transport and an audio guide. The minibus was comfortable though.

Missed tour - We did not enjoy the tour because we did not receive the notification of a time change when we were in areas with signal in time to be able to know that they moved it up an hour on us. When you send a notification, you should put on there for the client to confirm so that you will know we received the message and confirmed it to you.

Extremely Disappointing for the cost - The guide on the coach, Mery, was lovely. However when arriving at Herculaneum we were the only English people in the group & we were given a mobile guide & told to just follow the group. The guide ignored us all the way round & we found it difficult to keep up with the group & match the recording to the places. We had paid for an English guide, as stated on our tickets. We should have made our own way there & paid for entry as it would’ve been just as useful & a lot cheaper.
