Fun adventure exploring Pompei and riding horses at Vesuvius - Roberto, Lorenzo, Liliana, and Julio were excellent! Liliana was knowledgable about Pompei. Roberto and Lorenzo were helpful and friendly. Julio was terrific with the horses. Delicious lunch included.

Once in a lifetime experience - Our tour guide around Pompei was fantastic. There were no children in our group but he still kept his explanations of certain sights very Pg-13. Wine tasting was fantastic and horse back riding was a dream. All in all, highly recommended. Worth every penny, nickel and dime.

Perfect tour for entire family! - Pompeii was superb! Tour guide really was passionate and interesting! The driver was fun, on time, and personable. The vineyard was good, food and wine good on the pricy side. Horseback riding was fun.

Great day, highly recommend - The Pompeii tour was phenomenal, I appreciated that our tour guide took the time to point out things that we "shouldn't" do, that other tourists were up to, and also she didnt let solo tourists cut in front of our group at specific points where they tried. The lunch at the winery was delightful, shaded and the very touch of nature that I needed. Horseback riding also took us out of the city limits. The horse I was paired with was wonderfully light off the leg, which was a pleasant surprise for a tourism riding operation, its clear that they take good care of their horses. At each point we had different members of the team taking care of the group, from Pompeii to driving to the winery, at the winery, to the stables, it was clear that this team not only enjoys their work but functions well as a team which makes for a seamless and positive experience as a participant.

Wonderful way to spend the day in Pompeii - “This tour was the perfect way to spend the day. It was very easy to find the meeting point and Teresa guided us through a great tour of Pompeii! Our driver Lorenzo was very funny and nice, and he even had the car cooled off for us (on a very very hot day). The vineyard was the most perfect view, the tour guide was very charming, and the wine and food were some of the best we had in Italy. They were very accommodating of one person in our party with a gluten allergy. The horseback ride was relaxing and Alexandria was a great tour guide, making sure we learned about the area while taking in the amazing panoramic views. I can’t recommend this experience enough!”

Fantastic Horse tour - Pompeii - Giuseppe and his sister organized a nice tour. We had our experience day on a hot day at the end of June. First, the tour of Pompeii began with the most important places. A very nice and funny lady carried us through. That was my personal highlight. For my husband, the horse ride that was the last one was his highlight. In between we were driven to the vineyards by an air-conditioned small bus. The view during the horse tour was fantastic. It was a nice day! Personally, I would recommend the tour in a day with only 25 degrees, we had 34 degrees.

Good three for one experience - As others have stated, this is really three different tours packed in one. The Pompeii guide was the weakest. She kept making unnecessary comments like “rich people, like you” or to illustrate ancient street food vendors she kept saying “McDonald’s.” I believe she was trying to make it more relatable, but it sounded condescending. The lunch/wine tasting part was very nice. The food was good, and tasting the local wine was fun, although I’m not ordering a case any time soon. Riding was done around a different winery. The staff were really nice and they’ve proven they can handle someone with zero riding experience. The winery needs a little upkeep (ie: trash along the riding trail). Lorenzo, our driver, was funny and very helpful. Overall, we had a very good time and we would recommend it to anyone.
