Great trip if group numbers smaller

4.00Danni, our guide for the day, was very good and Isabella our tour guide in Pompeii was great, but the group was far too large. There were 34 of us with one guide and it just didn’t work. We had understood there would be more tour guides and in smaller groups the experience would have been much better. Our climb of Vesuvius was hard going on our 60 year old knees but it was fantastic to get to the top and see into the volcano and the views were spectacular. Would definitely recommend if group numbers were smaller.
Great excursion, worth while

5.00Great tour with lots of walking. Be prepared for a long, challenging climb to the top of Mt Vesuvius. Approx 35min + to the top. Wear good comfortable shoes as the path is uneven and loose gravel. Overall, the climb is worth it for the fantastic views.
Excellent

5.00Our tour guide lou lou was amazing and funny she made our day special as this was our first time in sorrento and also it was my 40th birthday weekend celebrations with my husband I would defo recommend this tour the views was amazing from the volcano 🌋 and also pompei was amazing so so much to see also we didnt feel rush at all. Will say hiking up to the crater of the volcano takes about 40 mins as the path can be slippery coming down and going up it's very hilly so would recommend take your time walking up there is a shop with drinks and souvenirs . We had a great day also we stopped for lunch 20 euros each for starter lunch and dessert and 1 drink can be wine or soft drink defo worth the price 😀

5.00Great Tour Daniella and our tour guide at Pompei were great and knowledgeable. You really need a few days if you want to see all of Pompeii, but if you’re trying to fit it in in a few hours, this a great option. The Hike up the mountain was nice as well Great views There was a traffic accident and they were unable to pick us up on time so the other tour group members left without us and they took us directly to Pompei to meet them. It was nice to know that they were willing to get us where we needed to be, even though it took a lot more effort on their part. I would consider this group very reliable. IAMME IA! Was the group and they did a great job informing us and getting us where we needed to be and on the tour.
