Pompeii shined!

The ride to pompeii was safe and smooth, but also silent. There is no commentary about anything on the way, so be prepared for that. The driver also split my husband and I up and directed him to sit in the front so that wasn’t fun. Pompeii was amazing! After the driver dropped us off, Vincenzo brought us in and around the site while showing the highlights and explaining a lot about the archeological work in the past and what’s still ongoing. I loved it!!! It was the rainy season, and rained a lot, but for our trip, the sun came out and pompeii shined! Note: it was too rainy to do the Vesuvius portion as the road was closed, but I didn’t count that for or against the tour as they immediately issued a partial refund without any lengthy process needed
It was a great trip!

Daniella and Roberta guided our group through Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius. They could not be better. They shared the knowledge as a professional should. Highly recommend this experience and would request them if possible. Also, Giuseppe was an awesome driver and the bus was super comfortable.

Brilliant day trip full of history with Roberta as our tour guide! Super easy meeting and drop off in central locations. Roberta was a great tour guide offering loads of great information whilst on our journey to each location. Starting off at Pompeii we were put into another group with Mimi as our guide- he was hilarious! Such an informative and engaging tour of Pompeii. Vesuvius was another great experience with great views, small shops throughout the walk up offering souvenirs and drinks- even a small glass of Tears of Jesus wine (Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio).
Great guides, weather made it very unpleasant

I want to first say our guides were very nice and informative and this is nothing against them or their ability to conduct a tour. I had very high hopes for this experience and the Pompeii exhibit was very interesting however I highly recommend canceling if it is supposed to rain. We had umbrellas, ponchos and rain jackets and were absolutely soaked. Our clothes, shoes, etc. This tour is entirely outside and there is no cover from the rain. Trying to walk around with other tourists who are bumping umbrellas is very difficult and the puddles accumulate very quickly. The weather also canceled our visit to Mt. Vesuvius, but we did not know that until after we drove an hour up the mountain. We did get reimbursed within a few days and the tour guide was very apologetic. I recommend to all travelers to check the weather forecast before booking the tour.
Fascinating tour
