5.00Was well run and had a good experience! Pompeii is very busy, but very interesting. Hercullenuem is worth visiting as well.
Solid experience

3.00Long day, but nice way to see the sights. The small group tour was convenient have have a small van pick us up from downtown and drop us back off. Lunch was better than expected, nothing crazy, but good. Tour guides at both sites and with the van were very good. A bit expensive for what you get, but overall a good experience.

5.00Excellent small group tour! Highly recommend seeing everything you want to see in a small group. There is so much to see and learn that a large group excursion would have made it impossible to cover everything that our WorldTours guide easily covered with us. It was easy to: ask questions, follow and hear the guide, and bonus points for including lunch at a delicious restaurant within a very short walking distance of Pompeii. Unfortunately, I suffered a medical emergency in the parking lot at Herculaneum and missed that part of the tour. After being tended to and cleared by a local ambulance team, my husband and I were reunited with the group and our WorldTours driver, Raffaele Battiloro, returned us safely to the port. Due to Raffaele’s assistance, attention to time and detail, we never once worried that we would be late for our ship. A special thank you to our small group tour mates from Australia and Spain for their support, concern, and most of all their assistance, during my medical emergency. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
A must see!

5.00Wow, to be right inside Pompeii was fabulous. Though we did a lot of walking it was worth the experience of seeing 2000 years of history right before our eyes. I was so impressed with how advanced the Roman's were with all the engineering and the influence the Greeks had on the artwork and decor. This was a once in a lifetime unforgettable experience!

5.00Full day of amazing sights and information. Pompeii was a bit over crowded but it was still worth it. Herculenium much smaller than Pompeii but just as interesting with a fraction of the crowds. Enjoyed herculenium a bit more. Lunch was basic. Driver and guide worked hard to make it a memorable day and did a great job. Archeologist did a great job and answered all questions. Great day.
