• Pompeii and Hurculaneum well worth seeing but be aware of the amount of walking required.

  We had to cover a lot of uneven ground quickly in Pompeii and my 78 year old husband struggled with the walking. We did not realize the distance we would have to cover. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and brought history to life. Sadly, my husband did not complete the tour and sat and waited for us at Hurculaneum. Our guide there was also very knowledgeable. Herculaneum was much more manageable in terms of size and crowds.

  This is probably a lower rating than the tour actually deserves. The actual spots we visited were incredible and I have nothing but praise for Patricia (our driver), Sharon (our guide in Pompeii), and Flavio (our guide in Herculeam). That said, the tour itself and our main guide, Alessandra, left a lot to be desired. First of all, the vans we were in were cramped. My husband is tall and it was a miserable car ride for him. Having done other tours in Italy before this in other vans, it is clear that this was a downgrade. Second, Alessandra and the way she managed the tour were infantilizing and frankly upsetting. We were told our pick up was at 8:20 and to be there 10 minutes early. I received a phone call at 8:10 on the dot asking where we were and were told that they were "waiting for us" - we were 2 minutes away (walking), but still ahead of our pick up time. Fine. Then, we were done and out of our Pompeii tour at 11:30. We hadn't booked the accompanying lunch, so we wanted to head out and find a restaurant. Alessandra would not let us. She said that we had to sit around in the little tourist area outside of Pompeii for 30 minutes so we could all walk over together (her little ducklings because she's mama duck as if that isn't completely infantilizing to grown adults!) to the restaurant booked for those who got those reservations so we'd know where to get picked up. We asked her to just tell us the location so we could be on our way and she refused. We ended up sitting around doing nothing for 30 minutes, so we could walk.... across the street. It was infuriating. To add insult on top of injury, she said to meet at 12. Again, at 11:57, she calls me to ask where I am, when I was literally right behind her. It's just frustrating to be treated that way when I'm a grown adult who has the internet at her disposal and can figure out a meeting spot across the street.

  Great tour. Full day of seeing two wonderful archeological sites, including skeletons at Herculaneum. Our tour guide Alexandra was excellent.

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

  Long 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.
