Fantastic tour - Fantastic tour! Our guide was excellent. He provided so much information and repeated the information so you could absorb it all. Highly recommend doing My Vesuvius the views were incredible!

One of the Highlights of our trip to Naples - even my 14 year old son loved it! - Hiking Mt. Vesuvius and then touring Pompeii was one of the highlights of my 10 day trip to Italy with my 14 year old son. Our guide for Vesuvius was Mario - he was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Depending on your physical shape, I'm not sure I would call it a hike. It's more of a long walk up a hill, but the views were breathtaking and it was amazing to think about the power behind the volcano. Our guide for Pompeii was also fantastic (I can't remember her name now) - she is an actual working archeologist and had so much insight into what went on in Pompeii it really provided great context. The only down side of the Pompeii trip is that 2 hours is not nearly enough to see everything. Luckily for us, that was the second half of our tour that day so we were able to spend more time on our own. I would suggest they always do it that way to allow people the time to explore (as opposed to doing Pompeii first and then Vesuvius which was what was originally scheduled).

Excellent tour in all aspects - the guide Roberta and all the arrangements going like a watch. - Guided informed tour of Pompeii which made the visit in very warm weather manageable and also the limoncello at the summit of Vesuvius.

Loved it! - Desiree was fantastic, she showed so much enthusiasm throughout the tour despite the heat. She advocated for us while lining up for certain displays and reminded us of etiquette when visiting the site. She shared a lot of information with some good natured jokes along the way. We could tell this subject never gets old for her and that enthusiasm really rubbed off on us. We would definitely do this tour again it was fabulous- thank you!

Fabulous experience- did not disappoint - We opted to take the Pompei / Vesuvius trip which included bus pick up / drop off in Sorrento. There are lots of ways to visit Pompeii we choose the guided tour, Cinzia was our tour guide for the day (Golden Tours) she was brilliant, very knowledgeable and passionate, you could really tel she took pride in her job and made sure we full experienced Pompeii the best we could. The drive was fabulous- navigated the road as expected like a Pro. Pompeii- guided tour with headset to ensure everyone could hear, our tour was 2 hours which was enough for us, got a feel for the place and what life was like in those times, it was amazing how they have mangaged to safely escavate the frescos etc. I think the best thing about using the guide is that they pick the best things to see, to ensure you make the most of your time - Pompeii is so vast you could get lost and not get a sense of it. Now onto Vesuvius, I was a bit worried about this as I’m not too fit, but I decided to give it a try, it was very hot 29th July, I took a walking stick offers at the start, pay a tip for it when you return, it took me the full 30 minutes to get up, I just took my time, rested often and got to the top, if like me your not too fit, keep going it’s worth the view from the top- there are a few places on Vesuvius to buy souvenirs, drinks and snacks again cash easier but they do take card We took the deal with lunch - I believe we got a small discount for pre-booking - lunch was great value, 4 options for lunch (tomato pasta, carbonara, pizza and tuna salad, a side salad and a bit of cake and included 1 drink €19 Remember to take cash with you on the day not all places take card - for example the restaurant didn’t We did a stop at the specialist Lemoncello shop - we got a great demonstration from the owner, we bought 3 bottles of various variations which we were happy to do so as I had wanted to taste real Amalfi lemons (he owns a lemon farm in Amalfi) so if you do want to get lemon-cello on your trip you could always wait - the shop takes card The trip was well organised, well communicated, and well priced (I checked out quite a few places) On a final note our teens 14 & 17 started to make rumblings about not wanting to go, by this point I have paid and there was no going back - they had a great time and enjoyed it - another reason for only taking the 2 hr in Pompeii the right amount of time for the heat

A great day - We had a fantastic day on this trip, our guide Roberta was very good. Its was very hot and the AC on the coach was well appreciated. Would recommend this to anyone it really is a great day out.

Great trip, highly recommend Vesuvius alone - Very good tour, great tour guide. The trip took around 1 hour to reach Pompeii from sorrento, we had a few hours here (be prepared it is very very hot in the summer) we then went and had lunch which was great value (booked as a ticket option through here) We had a side salad, bread, water and another drink of choice (Pepsi, orange, beer, wine) choice of a main which was pizza, tomato spaghetti, spaghetti carbonara (which was beautiful) or a tuna salad followed by a very nice slice of cake. We then drove from Pompeii up to mount Vesuvius. The roads are windy to get up to the drop off point but the coach drivers and very skilled and it wasn’t scary or worrying in the slightest and didn’t make anyone feel travel sick (unlike one of the other reviews I had read which worried me) Once at the drop off point we trekked to the top which took around 30 mins, it was very steep with little breeze. There are a few stop off points on the way up to have a breather and where you can buy drinks and the same right at the very top. The views are spectacular. It took around 25 minutes to get down, wear some shoes/trainers with good grip as it’s very rocky/easy to slip. This trip was great, would really recommend.

Amazing trip to two fantastic sites - Excellent guide, Tony, gave us a full commentary throughout the day. A lovely 2 course lunch was worth including in the ticket price. The 30 minute walk to the crater at Vesuvius is very challenging but worth it once there.

Good experience - Good trip and worthwhile to go on! The tour guide gave a surface level overview of Pompei which was good for us, but if you’re a history buff it may be better to go on a different tour! Otherwise, timely, nice, and glad we went on this tour!

Amazing Pompeii - Tony our guide was very nice and explained a lot as we went round Pompeii. We needed more time though as it felt a bit rushed because a handful of people had booked lunch at a restaurant with Golden Tours so we had to leave for them. I think we should have been given the choice of free time in Pompeii or leave on the coach for the restaurant. There were places to eat at Pompeii and the coach came back past there ! Versuvias was amazing as the weather was good. The walk up and particularly back down can be a bit of a hike, I would highly recommend the sticks that the guy hands out for a tip 2 euro well spent in my opinion !! The trip is advertised as 8 hrs but a lot of that is travelling or eating at a restaurant. All in all an enjoyable day and great chat from our guide
