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.

A great experience. - The knowledge of our guide and the amount we got to see. You can't do it all in one day. There is so much history. Just wish we could have done the museum.

One of the best experiences - The weather wasn’t too great but they still pulled it off flawlessly. Our guide Roberta was amazing and knowledgeable. Pompeii was a great experience. Walking up Mt Vesuvius was a workout but slowly we made it and the reward was an amazing experience being on top of an active volcano. It’s a must. If you take the English tour make sure you are on the Roberta team.

Pompeii and Vesuvius - Isabella was an excellent guide. Spent 2 hours at Pompeii ruins which were interesting. Climbed to the top of Mt. Vesuvius which was very difficult and exhausting— but well worth it

Perfect tour with Roberta! - First off, Roberta is the best guide ever!!! And Antonio is the best driver ever! True facts. Roberta was highly professional, efficient, informative, funny, and friendly. The whole trip ran like clockwork and the time at both sites was perfect. You need 7-8 hour total - avoid tours that offer less time as you will be rushed. The 2-hours at Pompeii with the expert archaeologist was excellent. It is huge (60ha), but we got to see all the critical sites. The lunch break gave us a chance to rest before the drive up to 1,000m. The last 350m walk to the crater is 45 degrees and equal to 42 storeys of a building. Go steady. The crater and views need about 30 minutes. You can buy drinks and rest again. We had approx. 2-hours at Vesuvius itself, which was exactly right. Back in town by 3-3.30pm. Overall, this tour was excellent value. Thanks Roberts and Antonio!!!

Fantastic Day Trip! - This tour was great. Isabella was a great guide on the bus and to the site. The seperate guide as Pompeii was extremely knowledgeable, I really enjoyed the information he had to offer. At the volcano, we were given time to climb at our pace, which I really appreciated. It was a harder climb than I expected, even though I read the other reviews that warned me. It was a great trip! Grazie!

Educational and entertaining. - Informative and inspiring. Great information on Pompeii. More information on the arduous nature of the Mount Vesuvius walk might benefit old and fat people.

Fun experience - Great tour of Pompei and MT Vesuvius. The Pompei guide (Vinnie) was top notch with great knowledge. Really enjoyed his insight. So much of Pompei to see so need to come back. The on-board bus guide was nice but did not accompany us the mountain which we found odd. Thought she was the guide. She was only the coordinator we guess. She did coordinate a good lunch.
