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

Had such a fabulous day touring Pompeii and the volcano. Very hot, bring plenty of water. The city tour was well led by Margarita, very knowledgeable and we spent good time seeing a lot of the city. No time to explore solo. The mountain was about a mile up, fault steep. My teenager was fine, grandma wouldn’t have made it. Full sun, no trees, but not far. The heat was a lot. There are three stops along the way where you can buy more water. The crater was quite a site to see, my favorite part. Angie our tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Carmen I am excellent driver. Highly recommend, excellent way to see Pompeii.
Rebecca is the best tour guide!

Very well paced out. Pick up and drop off is convenient. The tour is long, so make sure you have water and sunscreen to prepare. Our tour guide, Rebecca, was the highlight of the trip. She was informative and kind. She was so excited about the information she went through with us and it kept everyone engaged. We had the best experience with her!!
Can’t wait to go back!

Roberta was our tour guide and she did a fantastic job! She provided thorough descriptions of Pompeii as we ventured to a wide variety of sections within the city. The tour was great - I wish we could’ve stayed longer!! Our visit up to Mount Vesuvius was even more incredible. The bus goes as high up as it can and then you hike the rest. It really takes some effort but you’re rewarded with amazing views and even options to purchase wine made locally in the region around Vesuvius!
