    The tour of pompeii was fascinating and breathtaking due to the explanation delivered by our guide “Jonny”. He made the trip through time well rounded. The trip took a downward turn due to an hour stop at a small restaurant with no option for those who didn’t want a meal. The trip up to Vesuvius was rushed and the more mature gave up rather than delaying the trip further.

  • Great first visit and great guide.

    We had a great time in both Pompeji and Vesuvius. A great first visit and the guide, Lorenzo, knew how to tell the story. Good driving by Luigi. Recommendations to those who want to see these sights for the first time.

    Excellent trip - well organised pick up, cool comfortable coach, great guide (Tony). Got around Pompeii with enough info to make really interesting but not dragged out on heat of day. Lunch 5 mins away really good value. The Vesuvius hike was amazing. Trip exactly as described

    Myself and my family took trip to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius with Laura our guide. It was a super trip. Laura was excellent guide and gave a lot of really interesting facts. Pompeii was phenomenal, I hadn’t appreciated the size of Pompeii or excavation completed over the years. It was jaw dropping. Laura made it all the more real with her facts and insight. We didnt book lunch when purchasing the ticket but it was good. My kids and husband climbed Mount Vesuvius, while I stayed behind. Apparently it was very steep initially but worth the climb. Spectacular views from the top. Overall excellent trip. Laura was excellent and it was well worth doing .

  • Great day trip!

    Fantastic experience! They were flexible with the pickup location if you contact them from their website. The guide and bus driver were great. I learned a lot. The guide also took us to see a specific building that was special requested by someone on the tour even though it wasn’t originally part of the plan. Reasonably priced lunch option. Bring sunscreen and water!

    While the tour guide was great and we enjoyed Pompeii and Vesuvius, you need to know a few things. The tour says it's from Sorrento, but it actually picks up people outside of Sorrento, which means you're on the bus for a VERY long time because they get dropped off first. (They were picked up first, so that's fair.) That part of the drive is very windy and adds nearly an hour to the drive. Had we known this detail we would never have booked this tour and gone with something else. The AC on the bus is not good enough considering how hot Pompeii and Vesuvius were. Instead of headphones that go into your ear like other tours, they use this ear radio thing that is so loud and the volume can only be adjusted by the tour guide for everyone. This means it will either be too loud for some or too quiet for others. The included lunch was wonderful and so was our guide and bus driver. It was the other parts that made this not what it should have been.

  • Fantastic tour

    This is a nice, hassle free way to experience your time in Pompeii and a climb to the caldera at Mt. Vesuvius. We had taken a previous day trip to another site all while trying to navigate the train, tickets, etc. and found this far more relaxing and less stressful. The tour guides were well informed and highlighted the most interesting areas to see. The lunch was good, not great. The bus driver was excellent as it's not easy to drive these roads with all of the turns and twists. I would recommend some hiking poles for the trek up to the caldera at Mt. Vesuvius as the small scree can easier slide under your feet. Overall I would recommend this tour.

  • Fantastic day out! Thanks Tony!

    We had an absolutely brilliant time on this tour. Tony, our guide, was wonderful - he was very polite, friendly and took care to make sure all the guests enjoyed themselves. The tour covers an approx 2.5 hour visit to Pompeii. Tony made sure to point out a number of highlights and carefully explained their history - we really learned a lot. From there we headed to a local restaurant for a hearty and tasty lunch, before making our way to Vesuvius. Jean-Paul’s driving along the twisty inclining roads was exemplary and we got breathtaking views across the Bay of Naples. The climb to the summit was reasonably challenging - a tip: bring appropriate footwear as the sandy path can be quite slippy, particularly on the descent. All in all a wonderful trip which will live long in the memory!
