A great way to end our trip to Italy - Our tour guide, Roberta, was wonderful. We had the good fortune to have her 2 days in a row - for Amalfi Coast and the Vesuvius tour. Well organized. Great interaction with each participant. She was knowledgeable and able to communicate in English and Spanish and manage 2 groups. Pompeii was fascinating. We had a guide specifically for that portion of the tour. He made sure we saw the highlights and gave lots of interesting information. Vesuvius- views are spectacular. However, the walk to the top is strenuous. While there are places to pause and get your heart rate slowed, it’s a commitment if you’re not in good shape. I’m 73 and I made it!

Great trip that really did skip the line. - Our guide Isabella and driver Jacamo gave us all a first rate experience. Collection from the meeting point was trouble free, and the entrance into Pompeii quick and easy. The guides knowledge of Pompeii was excellent and informative. The trip to Vesuveus was a bit damp due to the weather, recommend taking a coat, but good non the less.

Great tour! - This was a quick overview of Pompeii in two hours-very educational. Walking up Mount Vesuvius is slightly strenuous and be prepared for rain. We got poured on while hiking and we were told after, that is common weather on the mountain.

A day in Pompei and Vesuvius - Had a great day walking around Pompei and then to the top of Vesuvius. Very well organised, easy pick up and the day was at a good pace. Having a guide to take you around Pompei is essential, the place is huge. Our host Roberta was very friendly , helpful and efficient and helped make the day one to remember, would recommend this trip.

Day in Pompeii and Vesuvius - It was a wonderful day. I loved visiting Pompeii. I love history and knowing the history of Pompeii was magnificent. The Spanish guide who accompanied us in Pompeii took us to the most important sites because Pompeii is a huge city, and told the whole story of it from when it was founded until the day it was taken by the volcano. Our dear guide Roberta who accompanied us throughout the rest of the tour told us about the Vesuvius, its history and we were right in its crater. It was magnificent

Roberta, our tour leader, was organized and very personable. A climb up Mt. Vesuvius allowed us to see the crater and the surrounding landscape from the top of the volcano.

Great tour and series but... - Great tour and series but the lunch that was set up was quite possibly one of the worst meals we have ever had. We felt pressured to eat with the group and would not recommend eating at Zeus to anyone ever.

Monica Was Excellent - Roberto for the initial pick-up and later for the Mount Vesuvius trip was informative and took care of the groups. Our Pompeii guide for the English speakers was Monica who was both very informative and funny. Top guide !! Franco was a good driver and manoeuvred the tricky bends very expertly Only negative was the lunch at Zeus which seemed below expectations for €18/per head
