It was a good, quick...

4.00It was a good, quick overview of Pompeii. I was disappointed that the guide skipped the Lupanar (brothel) although it was mentioned in the “what to expect” part of the full itinerary. Because of weather, our second (independent ) day in Pompei was last week and I purposely didn’t go here because I thought it was part of this guided tour. Having read “The Wolf Den” trilogy, I was looking forward to seeing this particularly.

5.00A well organised and fun day out. Isabella was a great guide who knew all the right places to see in Pompeii and avoid the crowds.
Pompeii shined!

4.00The 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!

5.00Brilliant 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).
