Interesting tour of Pompeii, beautiful views while riding and delicious light lunch - The tour of Pompeii with Daniel was very interesting. He was at the meeting location which was easy to find. It was raining and cold but we managed to make the best of it and visited the ruins. Daniel has a lot of knowledge. Our driver, Sophia, met us next and transportated us to a small farm/stable area where we were given a horse and led around the vineyard area. The views were spectacular and the cats and dogs at the stables were an added bonus. After the hour horse ride we were transported to the small new farm to table location where we were given a very light lunch. So be prepared to bring a snack with you as it will be several hours from your start time to the ligh tlunch time. I will say the food was beautifully displayed and delicious. The wines were tasty but no something anyone in our party wantd to purchase. The honey though is to die for and we are bringing some of that back with us. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience. It was a long day and when you factor in travel from where ever you are traveling from just make sure you bring water and a snack with you. Every employee we interacted with was kind and wonderful. Thank you for a fun day!

Amazing!!!! - Words are not enough The entire experience was magical! The farm is so beautiful! Traveled to Naples from England and I did this on my birthday. The host were very kind and made me a cake with candles and sang happy birthday in English and Italian. Lorenzo and Anthony were fab! Their commentaries were detailed and fun! Lots of laughs and good energy. Sophia was also so accommodating and supportive. She provided detailed information . Food was so great! We had to ask to see the chef and gave her a round of applause. Thats how good the food was! Wine was great too. Anthony the sommelier was so patient with answering all our thousand questions. We bought 4 jars of honey to take home at very affordable price. The tour guide through Pompeii ruins was so good! Her English was immaculate. I loved her accent. She knew alot and answered all our questions (and my tour group had alot of questions). Tour organizers seem like genuinely good and honest people and you can tell they love what they do! Unforgettable experience. Well worth the money. I have no regrets. A very memorable day for me❤️

Great day of activities in Pompeii - A great experience and day out. Starting from our transfer from our accommodation in Naples, out to Pompeii with Giuseppe. We were met by Manuela who was very knowledgeable about the area of the city we were shown around. We were then collected by Gennaro and taken for wine tasting led by Anthony who was the sommelier, and tasted some lovely wines and some fantastic food. The ravioli was very good! Next week were taken for a horse riding tour around the base of Vesuvius through some vineyards which was really enjoyable..finally we got taken back to Naples by transfer again by Gennaro, was really good day activity highly recommend!

Fun fact as to see Pompeii - Loved our tour. Shout out to Lorenzo making drive fun. Guides were amazing. Pompeii was informative and easy to hear with the headsets. Horseback riding was a nice touch. Wish we could have seen more of mount Vesuvius, but was still fun. The winery was yummy and the meal was excellent. “Taste the experience” was helpful. I would book independent through them…. Viator customer is awful this is the third and final time I will use them. I scheduled my tour and then they wouldn’t let my friends book separately. Even though the tour wasn’t full. Thankfully we called taste the experience and booked separately with them… and they were able to get my friends on the same tour!

Perfecto - We had a great time! We were met at the spot we were directed to go. Our tour guide was informative, patient, and answered questions. She dropped us at our transfer. Our driver, Lorenzo, was fab! He was personable, outgoing, funny, kind, and helpful. He not only got us to destinations, but he also dropped us at the train station making sure we got our tickets. Great guy! We really enjoyed our Vesuvius ride. The horses were thoughtfully picked. We were given information about the area and had beautiful sites. My children’s favorite part! The wine tasting and meal were very good. They took into account our food restrictions. We had apps, homemade ravioli, and lemon dessert with 4 wines to taste. All was very nice with views of capri and the coast! We were able to order a few things which will be sent to our door. Thank you Guiseppe and Anthony! My family recommends this tour!
