5.00Roberta was a super guide. She was very friendly and helpful. The tour was led by Archaeologist Andraya (sorry if l’ve spelt this wrong.) He was extremely informative.and engaging. The lunch with wine tasting at the Vineyard was good and the hike to Mount Vesuvius summit was the highlight for us. Well worth doing.
Perfect Day Trip from Naples

5.00Clear communication from our guide Marco. Easy and clear coordination on morning pickup as well as throughout the day. Our driver Luca handled the city traffic and switchbacks with ease. Our Pompeii tour guide Nina was perfection. Not only was she an expert in the history, she was friendly and funny! She painted a picture of the bustling life of Pompeii through the tour and addressed the tragedy of the Mt Vesuvius eruption with compassion and respect for the lost souls. Our lunch stop between Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius was delicious and in a beautiful setting. I highly recommend the small group tour with lunch! It was a stressful and enjoyable day!
Great guide!

5.00An amazing day out from Naples to see Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii, really well organised, I was travelling with my 12 year old daughter and it was great to be able to focus on the experience without having to think about logistics and we loved our tour guide Josephine - highly recommend!

5.00You definitely need this for the Pompeii Archaeological Museum if it is busy, guide was knowledgeable not only about the park, but ways to get around that would have overwhelmed someone by them self. Palao was an awesome tour guide, they make sure your experience goes good!
Probably the best tour I’ve been on

4.00Fantastic trip. Connie was our guide and she took care of everything. It felt very efficient and well organised. Gennaro the 5th was our driver and he was very good as well. In Pompeii we had Tomasso who was a phenomenal guide: very knowledgeable and funny. The only slight criticism I have is that the lunch was pretty basic. On the other hand it was three courses and we got a choice of alcoholic drinks despite not paying for the wine tasting. Overall I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Naples.
