Outstanding tour

This was a brilliant tour and the best way to see Pompeii, Herculaneum and Vesuvius easily in one day. Antonino is an amazing guide who brought the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum to life. His knowledge of history and the area is outstanding and he happily answered any questions we had. We wouldn't have covered anywhere near as much ground or had half as much insight into each of the sites if we attempted this on our own. This was probably the most expensive tour we booked on our holiday but it was worth every cent. You won't regret booking!

Driver Domenica was excellent. Brought us to a beautiful winery for a home cooked lunch and wine tasting. Our guide Ilaria was informative and helpful. Communicating with Antonio via WhatsApp made organizing the day very easy. I highly recommend this group!
Antonio is a great guide

Our driver Antonio was extremely knowledgeable about Pompeii, Herculaneum and Mt Vesuvius. He was also very friendly and engaging, I would recommend his tour to anyone wanting a little more than the standard tour at Pompeii. We felt like we learned so much more from him and it was very easy to do as he picked us up at our rental in Sorrento and dropped us off there as well. Thanks again Antonio!
Fantastic!

This was a lifetime ‘bucket list’ experiece for both of us (for me, since my project at school 60 years ago!). It was a surprise to us that we were the only two people on the tour!! (Did i misunderstand the details when we booked?!) We had never been on an ‘exclusive’ tour before - it’s always been in a group - but i wouldn’t change our experience. Antonino was our guide for the day. Correspondence with him was clear, great English, and very promot to reply. He arrived early to pick us up, and from that moment treated us like royalty! Antonino was a superb guide!! Friendly, amusing and an absolute encyclopedia of knowledge!……not just about Pompeii,Herculaneum and Vesuvius, but also about Naples, Italy and many other aspects of history in general. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations about language/linguistics too, as i have worked as an English teacher in a previous life. Pompeii itself, Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius ( we made it to the top!) all far exceeded our expectations - as did Antonino - a lovely guy, font of knowledge on all things and passionate about his job! Amazing Day! Thanks Viator and THANX to Antonino too! P.S. Mickey Mouse sends his regards!
