Amazing day - This tour was really great. We had enough time to visit Pompeii, have lunch and then climb the Mount Vesuvius. Our guide Eugene was really interesting and helpful. We enjoyed our day.

Day at Pompeii and Vesuvius - This was a great day out, Pompeii was a wonderful experience and once you got to the top of Mt Vesuvius the views (and wine) were incredible. Eugene was a fantastic guide, he was incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around. Lourenzo’s driving was a site to behold and a testament to phenomenal driving skills and an additional show.

Superb Pompeii - Seeing Pompeii was a great experience and our guide for the trip, Mimi was excellent. Vesuvio was also good but we having previously visited Mount Etna in Sicily it was not as impressive.

Fun Day in Pompei - Seeing Pompei was really special. It’s amazing how well preserved the frescoes are. An interesting glimpse into life in 79AD. Our tour guides were wonderful. Informative and entertaining. Mt. Vesuvus is a good hike, not for everyone however. It’s a bit of a steep climb and therefore steep descent. An older man in our group actually fell on the descent. That being said I did notice elderly women making the trek in sandals and a younger woman making the trek in two inch heels. Definitely a tour I would recommend. As a bonus our tour guide recommended an excellent place for dinner that was the best meal we have had thus far in Italy.

Great full day out to capture a snippet of Pompeii - If you’re staying in Sorrento and plan to head to Pompeii and Vesuvius in one day then this is the one for you. We looked into getting the train from Sorrento to Pompeii and going solo but nothing arrived until around 11am and from experience from this trip between 10-11am gets very busy! We arrived around 9ish when the site opened and it was nice and quiet. Our tour guide Carmen was very knowledgeable and tried to squeeze in as much as possible. However the Pompeii trip is very short around 2 hours, it’s a vast site so obviously the tour will only capture a snippet of Pompeii. Based in others tours, some seem to differ to others but overall it’s a nice day. We then headed to Vesuvius in the afternoon after given an hour free time for lunch, you can eat at the Pompeii site afterwards usually tables are reserved with a set menu for £17 each or like us, you can grab some sandwiches at the restaurants further down. Vesuvius can be climbed in 15-20 minutes if you pace yourself but it can be steep and loose ground can be tricky. There’s a guy who rents walking sticks if you struggle. Would definitely recommend comfortable shoes throughout the day! There’s three shops on the way up for little breaks. We didn’t get much info on Vesuvius when we got off the bus, just made our way up but there are guides at the start if you wish. Great photo opportunities throughout the day. We went in early October so the weather was very manageable
