The transport was quite crowded and the AC wasn’t on which made the travel a little uncomfortable. However our driver and transport guide did a great job of getting back to our cruise ship on time. A huge shout to our Heruleneum guide for being so knowledgeable and having family experience with the dig.

We were communicated very well for pick up point & time. Paola was very good getting tour guides organized for both Pompeii & Herculean and spoke English well. She was excellent in indicating times and meeting points. Our Pompeii guide Alessa spoke very well also and a wonderful guide. The whole experience was wonderful.
Excellent way to spend a cruise port day!

A great trip to visit the ancient Pompeii and Herculaneum sites. Amazing stories about how advanced our civilization had developed. Good communication from the travel agency. The licensed guide for the Pompeii visit was excellent. However, the licensed guide for the Herculaneum visit didn't speak English well. A nice person, though.
Wonderful!

This tour is so worth it. I've been fascinated by Pompeii since I was a kid and finally seeing it in person with such knowledgeable guides was amazing. Thank you to our tour leader, Mariachiara and driver Roberto and to our tour guides, Tiziana and Gabriel for bringing Pompeii and Herculean to life. I couldn't have asked for better tour guides. Thank you for a truly wonderful experience.

Very nice car, punctual, a lot of usefull information and joking as well during the drive by Raffaele who also recommended a very nice winyard restaurant for a late lunch. We can highly recommend this full day trip and especially Raffaele and Tomaso.

An unbeatable day thanks to our guide Alessandra B very attentive to all our needs and always with a smile and our driver Roberto. In Pompeii our guide was Donatella and in Herculaneum was Agnes. Both combined history and fun making the visits an unforgettable moment. If not for Worldtours this experience would not have been the same. I recommend taking the tour with them and our guides. Thanks for everything!
