Amazing tour! Definitely worth doing both Pompeii and Vesuvius! - We had an amazing experience with this tour! Transportation was easy and well-organized. The tour of Pompeii was fantastic! Our guide was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. We had 2 hours in the ruins, and felt like we could have spent way more with how interesting it all was! We definitely will be wanting to come back for more! Then the bus took us up Vesuvius where we stopped part way at a mountain restaurant that served a delicious meal (not sure if this is a normal part of the tour or was due to us being there in December when most all restaurants were closed). Then we had the short hike up to the peak of the mountain where we saw the crater, which was absolutely stunning. We highly recommend this tour!

Great informative tour! - The tour was great. It was well organized, including the plan to get in early before crowds. It guides we’re very knowledgeable and we’re able to show us a lot in a few hours. The tour also goes to the volcano with ample time to walk and explore god you wish

A Fabulous Day - Pompeii was fantastic and our guide Vincenzo was very informative, interesting and funny. We went early and enjoyed the site without crowds and the weather was fabulous. The walk up to Mt Vesuvius is steep but if you take it steady and just keep putting one foot in front of the other, the view from the top is incredible. (I am 59 next week and have pretty dodgy, arthritic knees - so if I can do it…..anyone can) The tour was terrific and communication was excellent. Enjoyed my Pompeii trip so much that I am visiting the Herculaneum tiday with same tour leader. Being s solo traveller, it was really nice to spend s day with other travelers.

Fabulous experience! - Riberta was a fantastic guide. We met for an early start and so we arrived in Pompei before the crowd! Our guide, Francesco was interesting and informative. The tour was excellent. Roberta arranged a 3 course lunch for us at a restaurant which was delicious local food and good value. Mount Vesuvius was a brilliant experience and we had plenty of time to walk up at our own pace. I would definitely recommend this tour, it was a highlight of our Napoli trip.

Tremendous history and wow views - Friendly and knowledgeable guides, learned a lot about Pompeii and the region. Went early enough for a serene experience with very few people. Opted for lunch with a fantastic view on the way to the top of Vesuvio, but it was closed for safety (high winds!) when we got there. Our guide and driver were flexible and allowed some stops on the drive down for some photos. Would recommend. Comfortable walking shoes a must! Very uneven in Pompeii.

It was a short time, and... - It was a short time, and we couldn’t enjoy all the places during our visit. The transportation is easy, though.

Unacceptable and unprofessional behavior - The first part of the Tour was in Pompeii and it was very good and we have no complaints. Before we got there they told us if we want to visit a restaurant before going to Vesuvius and of course we said yes since the tour was 8 whole hours. However, shortly before we left for Vesuvius, around 2 pm, we were told that because it was very windy yesterday, trees had fallen and the road was closed, so we would not be able to go on our visit. I can't imagine that an Agency with hundreds of daily traffic, at such an important monument, was informed at 2 pm that the road was closed since yesterday! If it was proper professionals, they would have informed us in the morning (if we accept that the road was closed, because I say again that we all saw buses going up) and we would decide whether or not we want to continue. And not to take us to eat and then announce it to us! Unacceptable behavior Unacceptable!
