Great day out. super friendly and helpful team - early start taking in Pompeii and Vesuvius. Max, Our driver spoke great english arrived at our hotel on time and was very accommodating. his car was a large Mercedes “van” and was very clean. Arrival at Pompeii was just over a couple of hours and Max pointed out some interesting sights and landmarks on the way down. This package allowed us to jump a huge queue even at 9.15am! Our guide again spoken great english and was very knowledgeable and gave us a great tour over 3 hours, but be warned even that is not enough time. Max then took us to pleasant good value restaurant overlooking the Bay of Naples on the way up to the too of Mt Vesuvius. After lunch he took us to the highest staging point for the public allowing us a 30 minute walk to the summit. Again be warned when they say its 300m they mean 300m vertical, its about a mile or so and is quite steep but achievable and several smaller children made the walk. Return to Rome was just after 5.15. all told a great team to do this tour with. j

City Wonders tour, Emiliano is excellent - We took the Pompeii & Mt. Vesuvius Volcano Day Trip from Rome through City Wonders. It was amazing and our tour guide, Emiliano was wonderful - friendly, informative, and fun. He even gave us his recommendations for other things to see in Rome and for his favorite restaurants. This was the perfect guided tour w/ some independent time walking around Mt. Vesuvius in the morning, then a guided tour through Pompeii in the afternoon w/ a lunch stop in between. Highly recommend, and we are not typically huge fans of guided tours.

Pompeii & Mt. Vesuvius Volcano Day Trip from Rome ( City Wonders) - Vesuvius is sometimes closed for bad weather and the default replacement is a trip to Naples. On the day we we went, Vesuvius was closed due to a recent landslide. This was communicated at the start and we were offered the choice to reschedule. Pompeii is a time capsule of the Roman world, protected from the influences of other cultures that have over written history elsewhere. It was an eye opening tour that clearly was only scratching the surface. At the end of the tour You have a choice to stay and explore the ruins or attend the Pompeii experience. Although the Pompeii experience was good we think we would have got more from exploring the ruins. Naples is a fascinating place to visit especially when someone explains the highlights to you. The driver was faultless. Our guide on the coach was truly inspiring. Although the travel time is a significant part of the day this was very well filled by Angela Militello with fascinating and entertaining lessons in History and mythology that bought everything to life. I felt I was in the company of a world class expert who loved the subject and for whom nothing was too much trouble. She provided a 1st class service. It’s such a shame this was to be her last tour (for now at least) as she joins a research project in south America. If the other guides are half as good you won’t be disappointed. In all, I highly recommend this trip.

Great Company -- Best Rome Travel - Pompeii is a must see! Vesuvius has an amazing view down on Naples and out to the coast. We had some trouble booking as we were traveling through the holidays. This company was flexible and responsive. Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable, I highly recommend.
