Was a very good tour. No... - Was a very good tour. No need to pay extra to get into the sights like others do, so all round worth the money!

compressed but still comperhensive day! - The mountain, what else? And Herculaneum, off-course! That was my 2nd visit to the Pompei site, it was well worth it I liked the 3 sites schedule & if you dont have a car do this! Be sure to load up on some knowledge on what you are about to see though, It is self guided!

A full day of discoveries - Going up the Vésuve was a great challenge but rewarding. Herculaneum and Pompei are great learning experience.

Big sites from Naples - Doing all 3 big sites was great to get them all done. Climbing Vesuvio first was best way to go, too strenuous and hot later in day. Covered most of Herculenium in 2 hours given but the 2.5 for Pompeii was too short. I would probably do Vesuvio and Herculaneum one day and allow a full day for Pompeii if we come back.

Just OK - It was a lot for one day. The tour-provided audio guide for Herculaneum reference numbers didn’t match the site’s numbers. The names didn’t translate easily either. So I felt like I missed a LOT there.

Mamma mia.... - Overall there was poor communication throughout the process. At the starting meeting location there were several groups waiting for a bus and the 2 coordinators did not tell anyone what was going on. The listing says group size of 17 and there were 40 of us on the bus, with narrow seats. We first went to Mt. Vesuvius where there was a mile long steep hike to the top which I don't think was written on the excursion detail. The views were worth the hike of course. We then went to the Herculaneum followed by Pompeii which were self guided tours. At each stop we were given a time to meet back at the bus. The Herculaneum drop off location was strange though as it was several blocks away from the entrance instead of taking us to the bus lot. We did not have nearly enough time at Pompeii to see even the highlights. I think in total we walked 8 miles. Lunch is not provided on the tour but there was a pizza shop next to the tour company place at Pompeii. The bus was late picking us up from Pompeii making the connection back to the cruise port very tight. This excursion is good for those just looking for transportation between these areas.
