4.00We really enjoyed this tour. We would have liked to get more of a guided tour of My. Vesuvius, but we get that probably wasn’t logical considering the different speeds everyone would have gone. I would have liked pizza instead of pasta for lunch since Naples is known for pizza, but the pasta was filling.
Good tour BUT airplane food is better

3.00The tour guide in Pompeii was knowledgeable and funny, the overall tour guide named Felicia was also nice. The driver, Antonio, was also nice. The food –however– was subpar. I join the other people in our tour who complained about the restaurant just giving us carbs in different shapes and sizes, with no protein whatsoever. There were also hidden prices for buying extra water –which we needed because of all the carbs. I daresay that airplane food was better than what we had for lunch. Everything else was pretty good.
Climbed Vesuvius!

5.00Fantastic day trip. We travelled as party of six and had a really lovely and knowledgeable guide Connie for the day. She was really clear and great at her job. Antonio was our guide in Pompeii and was excellent and gave us a really informative 2 hour tour. We stopped for a really nice lunch included en route to Vesuvius. Must also mention our driver Francesco who was great and made our day so enjoyable. Fantastic memories made for a wonderful holiday Thank you.

Beautiful day

5.00I had a wonderful day and really enjoyed this tour! The visit to Pompeii was fascinating. It’s amazing how much has been preserved — walking through the ancient streets, seeing the houses and imagining everyday life almost 2,000 years ago was an unforgettable experience. Our guide Diana made the history come alive with interesting stories and explanations. The wine tasting was another highlight. It took place in a beautiful garden with a relaxed atmosphere. The wines were excellent, the food was delicious, and it was the perfect place to take a break and enjoy the views. The views of Pompeii and the surrounding landscape were absolutely stunning and made the experience even more memorable. A big thank you to Marco, our tour leader, for keeping everything well organized and making the day enjoyable, to Francesco for the safe and comfortable drive, and to Diana for the excellent guided tour of Pompeii. Highly recommended!
