Great excursion to Pompeii and Vesuvius. - We had a great experience with our tour of Pompeii and Vesuvius. Our archeological guide, Frankie, for Pompeii was exceptional, very knowledgeable and humorous as well. There was not a question he could not answer. Very worthwhile. Our driver was on time and did a great job getting us around. The views from our hike up the volcano were spectacular. Highly recommend this tour!

Excellent tour of Pompeii! - Sasa our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Our transfer from Sorrento and back was a blessing, we did not have to check train and bus times to get to the point of meeting on time. It was an interesting tour of Pompeii and I strongly recommend using Viator for this.

Awesome experience! - It was a great experience to be able to see the ruins of Pompeii. The guide was very knowledgeable. My imagination went wild, thinking about what it was like to be alive in that time frame. I highly recommend this!

Great, informative and interesting Pompeii snd Vesuvius tour - Frankie was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting and funny. He made sure we were comfortable and got through the exhibits before the crowds got there. I would highly recommend Frankie as a tour guide for Pompeii tour. The hike to the top of Mt. Vesuvius was also worth it. It's definitely aoderately intense hike but the trip to the top was worth it. Great views of Napoli.

We like Sasa - We enjoyed Sasa's perspective on city life in Pompeii. He engaged everyone in the group and helped us relate to what it was like living in the city in its final years.

Didn’t kill it on transport - Excellent guide at the ruins. Vesuvius about a 20 minute walk up the hill to the edge of the crater from where you are left off. Fun to see. Downside: tour company doing transportation a total mess. You’d think small private shuttle sounds straightforwardly easy, right? What a mess of who in which van waiting for a long time for others not on the outbound. Nobody actually knew. Was a 3 hour trip back to Sorrento. They even sent an initial text on WhatsApp. Only I don’t have WhatsApp, nor did I know to install it ahead of time. Very on-brand for this tour company.

Pompeii and Vesuvius - The tour guide to Pompeii was good,but we felt that we could have seen more. We skipped a lot of things including the book shop in the end. He kept saying that we avoided the crowd...but the reality was that we skipped a lot of things . Then, the trip to Vesuvius was fine,bit again we were rushed to climb to the crater and come back down in less than an hour.The driver did not speak any English and we were all a bit confused what to do. We were back about an hour later than the scheduled time.We spent more time waiting for the transport organisation than sightseeing.
