5.00Quite strenuous on the feet with the roads; but well worth it. Our tour guide Raphael was great. Very informative. I expected to learn about the event but he brought the people to life for me and that made it extra special. If you have leg or knee issues I wouldn’t recommend doing both in the same day.

5.00This was an excellent excursion that let us do a lot of things in a short amount of time. I would have enjoyed more time at the sites, vs getting to the train station 2 hours early but I can understand their focus on making sure we don't miss our train. Pompeii and Herculaneum were incredible. The lunch stop was quick but needed. Rafael was an excellent, informed, and funny tour guide.

5.00Although it’s a long day, totally worth the time. Train tickets for Rome to Naples arrived the day prior and the train trip itself was excellent on a high speed train. Meeting point was easy to find and it was great to be in a small group. The guide Alfredo was an experienced archaeologist who had worked on the excavations in both Herculaneum and Pompeii. He was very knowledgeable and could easily answer questions asked. Our driver Massimo had us back to Naples Central in good time.
Not a complete visit of Pompeii

4.00Great experience: talented tour guide, great sites to visit, all was supposed to be perfect. However, I've been to these sites before in a past trip and I can say that the tour of Pompeii was by far not as complete as my past experience. We seemed to rush through, missed a lot of the important parts and hidden gems, and we were brought back to the train station at 4 pm for a 6 pm train back to Rome. We could have VISITED MORE!!! Considering how much we paid, I was profoundly disappointed and would not recommend this trip to anyone wanting the real full experience of Pompeii. This being said, the tour guide explained things very well and was quite nice.
