4.00Our main guide for the day was great but our Pompeii experience wasn't the best. Our guide took us to spots, talked at us and then marched us off to a new location each time. There was no time to explore or even take photos. It felt very rushed and even when we were leaving, there was no notifying us we were headed out of Pompeii, we were just marched out - no stopping for group photos, no time to explore spaces and no opportunity to visit the gift shop. We were not even offered a map/brochure when we arrived. It was also fairly disorganized upon arrival. A lot of detailed information was given without providing broader context for the space. Would have loved some high level info, with time to explore and walk around the various spaces. Very boring for the kids as well.

5.00Nello was friendly, approachable, great local knowledge and a good laugh! Mimi, our Pompeii guide was also amazing, good fun and make the whole experience fun and educational. Climbing mount Vesuvius - we had plenty of time to walk up, walk the crater to admire the view, and walk down all in our own time with no rushing. Would highly reccomend!
Lulu was the best guide

4.00The headsets had a very short range, meaning that if you were at the back of the group, you couldn't hear a word he was saying. It is a long time without any kind of break for a drink or snack while at Pompeii. A short break should be built in. Some of the older people in the group were staggering around like they were going to drop. I was surprised we weren't allowed any time in the museum. That was disappointing.
Perfecto

4.00Great trip exploring Pompeii and Mt Vesuvio. We beat the crowds in the morning and got a great introduction to Pompeii. Our guide Nello and Mimi ( for Pompeii) were very knowledgable and passionate about the history. The visit to Mt Vesuvio was as expected. The hike was easy and the views of Naples and the crater were stunning
Wonderful excursion to Pompeii and Versuvius

5.00Nello was our wonderful guide and Luigi our driver for the day. I had a special request due to a phobia and this was sorted with no fuss. I was so grateful. We had an amazing time visiting Pompeii with Francesca our Pompeii tour guide. We walked up Versuvius which was amazing. Instructions from Nello were always clear and he kept us entertained on the bus. Thank you!!!
