5.00Lello Paola and Carmen made this a special day. Insightful and educational. Lunch was a set menu and fairly entry level, but sufficient. The tours of Pompeii and Herculean were outstanding and worth every footstep. To be honest they were a little rushed and worthy of a day at each site for the truly entrepid explorer. Well worth the asking price.
Stunning and authentic

2.00The tour had its bright spots thanks to the incredible local guides Anna and Ravioni. Anna was an absolute delight — her cheeky storytelling and historical insights brought the locations to life in a unique and memorable way. Ravioni, our guide through Herculaneum, was equally impressive. His deep passion for history and wealth of knowledge made that part of the day truly magical. Huge thanks to both of them! Unfortunately, the rest of the tour left much to be desired. The organization by WorldTours was poor. Due to the small group size and language differences, we were constantly being matched and rematched with different guides, which wasted a lot of time — especially at Pompeii, where we missed out on valuable exploration. The included lunch option was also a major letdown. The restaurant (Tourist-something) served a very basic meal for 40 euros per person — soda not even included. Spaghetti and a disappointing dessert felt far from the value promised. While we’re grateful for the wonderful moments led by Anna and Ravioni, I can’t recommend this tour as a whole.
