Great Tour of Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius - Great tour. After meeting Roberta, our tour guide near Naples railway station we boarded our mini bus and arrived in Pompeii early, before too many other tourists. We were guided through the ruins by an archaeologist who was very informative. The tour wasn't rushed, time allowed for photos and questions. After the tour we joined in the optional lunch at one of the restaurants at the ruins. The food was very nice and good value for money. After lunch we were driven by bus and dropped off just below the crater of Mount Vesuvius. After a very steep walk we reached the top. Well worth it. Great views of the crater and fantastic views of Naples. There's three little stalls along the way selling drinks, wine and souvenirs. Roberta, our tour guide was very good and gave us lots of information about Naples, Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius.

Worth it - Roberta is the best!!! I'm so grateful I booked this tour for my husband, kids, and me. This is definitely worth every penny. Roberta was fun and knowledgeable about the area. Giacomo was our guide inside Pompeii. He was GREAT!

Great experience - Isabella and Franco were just fantastic and kept us all on track as the tour was full of interest. Max our tour guide was also excellent with the perfect dry humour and information. We very rarely do organised tours but this was a good decision given the itinerary in just one day.

Excellent trip - We had a great time on this trip to Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius. Isabella and Franco were excellent and everything was very organised from start to finish. The recommended lunch at the Zeus restaurant was also good value and much needed after Pompeii. A great way to see both attractions on the same day and for me, a must if you’re staying in the Naples area.

Five star experience!! - We joined the trip to Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius on Sept 25th. It was definitely a 5 star experience. Our guide,Roberta,was terrific-friendly, knowledgeable and always keen to do anything she could to make our trip even more memorable. She even took time out after the trip was over to provide advice and details of where to get Napol’s best pizza. Our archeological guide, Carmen, was also excellent and really brought Pompeii to life with her knowledge. Finally our driver Antonio skilfully managed the tricky roads throughout the day. A strong team all round!

A good day out - A good day trip to Pompeii and Vesuvius from Naples. Really takes the hassle out of organising your own transportation. Roberta and the guide at Pompeii were both very friendly and knowledgeable. We would have preferred a smaller group in Pompeii though, as we spent some time waiting for others to catch up to the group, and more walking whilst talking to see more of Pompeii in the 2 hours there! Otherwise we felt that the amount of time in each location was perfect!

Great trip, must do! - It was a great trip to both places on one day. Pompeii (tour guide Josephine) took us to most important sites, very informative. Vesuvius is just a breathtaking place. My 9yo son dreamed about and we did it.
