The bus driver Franco was the best at driving the narrow roads of Vesuvius. A true expert! Angie was amazing and super knowledgeable giving us facts and making sure everyone knew where to go and how to find their way back. Francesso was the best at telling us the stories of Pompeii. Going through houses and shops, he told us everything we needed to know a jokes and all!

This trip was the perfect mix of history and nature. Both Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius were fascinating, and my family enjoyed both. The tour in Pompeii was focused so you didn’t get to see all of the city. But it was effective because you got an accurate sense of life there. Vesuvius was a bit of a strenuous hike to get to the crater, but the views were well worth it. Ensure you pack water and wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty. Mimi, our guide, was spectacular! Thank you for a great and memorable day.

The tour was exactly what we were hoping for. The guide lead tour of Pompei was better than expects and the hike up to mt Vesuvius was amazing. All of our guides were knowledgeable. The diver deserves a gold medal! The road is narrow and curvy and he managed to get us up and down easily!
the agency changed the linguage from spanish to english
