5.00The tour was very interesting! We learned a lot! Our tour coordinator, Zhanna, was fantastic, as were our two tour guides, Leo and Nando! We were picked up, and dropped off, at our hotel, on schedule! A delightful day!

4.00Picked up from hotel, the journey there was very good with our tour guide giving plenty of information about where we were and also about where we were going’s - met our next guide at Pompeii and gettiing in was easy (pre-paid) we did around 2 hours and everything was informative, guide answered everyone’s questions - we saw a very small portion of the whole site (would take a week to do it all) but what we did see gave us a decent flavour of what it would have been like - all in all very informative and enjoyable - wear a hat on a sunny day and decent shoes
Prob would not recommend

3.00Although offered a pick up place in a drop down menu on the site, instead of our hotel, our pick up spot was a 20 min walk away. The pick up guide, Francesco, was okay and kinda funny. The guide for Pompeii was just okay and kinda hurried and harried. Pompeii itself was very cool. The guide for Hurculaneum was better and seemed to know quite a bit about it and the times. Lunch was provided and it was okay, too, but the establishment tried to charge us 19 euro each. The guide wasn’t around so we just walked out. The description of the tour included wine tasting at the end but that didn’t happen.
Pompeii - YES, Hurculaneum - only if your REALLY want more!

5.00Pompeii was incredible. So many things to learn and see. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered tons of questions. There was enough time to take it all in and then she let us spend some time on our own after the tour was completed. This portion was truly 5 stars Herculaneum was mostly a repeat of Pompeii. Given the weather (hot and humid) and the similarity of the two, it would have been easy to skip the 2nd part. The guide was very knowledgeable as well but kept repeating "you may have seen this in Pompeii" and then explained it in a lot of detail. She was very enthusiastic but the tour dragged on for at least 30 minutes longer than expected or necessary. This part was 3 stars.
High quality of the...
