5.00Our tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum was one of the best experiences of our trip! The entire day was well organized, and our guide was excellent — knowledgeable, engaging, and full of interesting stories that really brought the ancient cities to life. Pompeii was fascinating to walk through, seeing the streets, villas, and preserved mosaics. Herculaneum was equally impressive, smaller but even better preserved, giving a real sense of what life was like nearly 2,000 years ago. The transportation was comfortable, and the timing was perfect — we never felt rushed. It was a memorable and educational day that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Italy. A truly unforgettable glimpse into history!
Great Tour, Great Experience - Highly Recommend!

5.00We had a wonderful experience on our tour of Herculaneum and Pompeii! Our tour guide was archeologist Diego Michelle. He gave us a rounded understanding of the history, geology,and importance of these amazing sites. To say he is passionate about them would be an understatement. We also appreciated the level of care and detail that allowed our (included) high speed rail trip, and connecting with our tour group when we arrived in Naples, to be stress-free. Overall a great experience!
Unforgettable experience
