This tour was led by a great driver and two tour guides, one each for Pompeii and Herculaneum. We learned so much and enjoyed a delicious lunch between the two tours. They were very mindful of food allergies of one of our family members, which is much appreciated. I would do this tour again.
Amazing historical trip.

We were picked up at our dock by Sergio and Francesco. They took us to meet a tour guide in Pompeii, Mary, and a tour guide Patricia in Herculeum. This is June 29th and it is HOT! Tour guides were very knowledgeable. The only side note I'd make is that because of the heat, it might be too much in one day. But a very educational trip.

Although we went early morning be prepared for crowds of people. Our guide was fabulous, funny and knowledgeable. Take water, wear a hat, walking shoes and sunscreen. Lunch was good, pasta, bruschetta and tiramisu. Herculaneum was a surprise. Totally different because of the area beautiful mosaics and we also had a very knowledgeable guide with personal stories from his family working on the dig.
