    Much easier to navigate the streets with a guide that knows all the hidden facts. Shows the best frescos and mosaics that you can't find on your own or with the app.

    Too rushed to get the full experience. The company hose to wait almost 30 minutes for latecomers, maybe that's why we had to rush around. The guide was knowledgeable. However with 16 people on the narrow streets and small rooms, we frequently couldn't see what he was talking about. He gave his talk and then rushed on before showing the people toward the end, who couldn't see, what he was talking about..

    A really great experience. Pompeii and Herculaneum had been on my list for decades and they more than lived up to expectations. Our guide Sergio was brilliant and packed an impressive amount of information into a short time.

  • Fantastic tour and highly recommend. Sergio was fantastic.

    Fantastic tour and highly recommend. We had Giuseppe driving our minibus and Rosella looking after us for the journeys. Two great people who made us feel welcome. For the tour we had Sergio, what an utterly fantastic tour guide. There was a lot to do and see in each place and Sergio was great at showing us as much as possible with knowledge and charm. Any questions the group had he was able to answer and seemed pleased we were taking such an interest. There is a lot of walking, be prepared for that, but to be able to see so much it was more than worth it. Sergio didn't rush, we were able to see each thing we talked about more than long enough so it never felt like we were missing anything. Cannot thank you guys enough for giving us such a special experience in a very historic and cultural place.

    Great experience, both sites were well worth visiting and our guide was very knowledgeable. A few things to consider, the toilets at Herculaneum are limited and basic so go before you leave the hotel. Back packs are not permitted so travel light but with water, hat and of course a camera. At Herculaneum there are storage lockers for luggage if required. We had lunch at a modern shopping complex near Pompeii, where you’ll find a good selection of fast foods and modern and clean toilet facilities.

    Amadeus was there tour guide. Having someone explain what happened and the discoveries that were found was awesome. There is so much to see that having someone guide the group to the most interesting site very helpful. It was a long day visiting both places, but very glad I saw both as they are so different. Herculaneum is also less credit than Pompeii. We also had a break for lunch.
