Vesuvius and Pompeii - The whole day was excellent. Magdalena was exceptional and very caring and attentive, the driver was the hero of the day as those roads up Vesuvius are tough, but felt safe and secure. The light lunch was a whole pizza and drink which tasted delicious. Both Vesuvius and Pompeii were amazing and highly recommend, just wish we hadore time in Pompeii. Overall excellent!

Wonderful! - Sarah and our driver Vincenzo(?) were awesome! Loved Sarah’s humor and clear information. Vincenzo was a very safe driver and so kind! The tour guide at Pompeii (Bernadette) was incredible! She knew her stuff and was so pleasant to listen to!

Charging up the mountain. Pompeii-Pom yea! - The whole Pompeii experience was great. Extremely interesting seeing the buildings and developments for an huge area. Our guide and driver were fantastic. The mount Vesuvius felt a bit rushed to go from bottom to top. Weather was extremely foggy at the top of Vesuvius so the amount you could see was really limiting. A bad phone connection double charged our visa for entry tickets thru the Viator app and we now we are looking how to rectify the issue.

Fun and interesting - Sarah was such a good host, getting us to all the interest points safely: she always was checking to make sure we were accounted for. And she kept it fun! She was funny and making us laugh.. We had Bernadette once in Pompeii - very knowledgeable and learned a lot about the history of the people and how they lived.

unnecessary cancellation - This trip was cancelled the day before due to bad weather. We then booked the same trip with another airline on the same day. Reportedly there were too few registrations and they just cancel the trip. Sad to leave people in the lurch like that. By the way, it was 30 degrees and full sun.

Read this review before you book - The tour guide and driver are very nice people & are not to blame for the following review: VESUVIUS HIKE: - it’s advertised you get 2 hours 10 minutes…. This is EXTREMELY misleading as they count the time it takes for the bus to get to Vesuvius, which took about an hour. Once you get off the bus, you literally have ONE hour to hike up a steep incline for about a mile, take pics, then walk back. My wife and I are avid hikers and it took us 20 mins to ascend and about 15 mins to descend (the gravel is small & loose so you have to walk slowly on the descent or you are prone for spraining you ankle on the trail) so that left us 15 mins to take pics at the top of Vesuvius and barely 5 or so mins to souvenir shop… All this to say the hike is VERY rushed & could have been so much more enjoyable had we had 2 hours & 10 mins to hike as advertised. We had normal people on the tour that literally made it to the top & had to immediately turn around with no time to take pics or souvenir shop. Pompeii: They combine your group with another group, so now there’s around 30 people with you in Pompeii. It took so much time to properly combine the groups which directly impacts the amount of time you have exploring Pompeii. The guide rushes you through the main parts of Pompeii leaving zero time for pics. We had to separate ourselves from the group to take pics then catch up to the guide to avoid getting lost because Pompeii is huge. In summary, I’d find a better tour than this.
