Interesting

Victoria_O, Aug 2024

Well organised, tour guide informative. Transfer coach lacked air con which was a little uncomfortable.

Very informative

Garret_K, Jun 2024

I really enjoyed the time we spent at Pompeii and the guide was very knowledgeable. I just wish the meeting pont was a bit more clear. Many tour groups meet at the same point and it isn't really clear which is which of course that can be stressful since if you get in the wrong group or miss it all together.

Fun tour

Gina_G, May 2024

The tour guide was very knowledgeable. And able to answer questions. It stayed on schedule and we were well look after. I did not give it a five because the pick up bus Was late and we actually have to walk to meet it. The meeting point was actually different than where the bus will pick us up.

Pompeii

Our host Valeria greeted us with a warm welcome and a big smile. Our tour guide, Simone was a wealth of knowledge. We did not feel rushed and gave us ample time to take photos.

Danielle_S, Jul 2023

we did the Pompeii tour, not the Vesuvius hike. it was half day. the guide was hard to hear and it was extremely crowded. he was knowledgeable but it was very hot and we dont really know if the guide brought us to the best places in the park.

Great Day in Pompeii!

Our tour guide Vincenzo was fantastic. Very knowledgeable without being boring. Kept our interest the whole time in Pompeii. The winery visit afterward was exquisite. Would highly recommend this tour!

Half Pompei and Winery

Andrew was a great tour guide. Found shade in just about every stopping point. Lots of fun facts and interactive. Pack lots of water. Winery tour was quaint. Good and wine were amazing!

Adrienne B, Sep 2017

This was a nice size for a group, and a relatively early arrival time to the site which is always a plus. Our guide was efficient and informative, while also managing the hectic atmosphere of many different groups all trying to see the same things. This is a great trip for those who are looking to get a feel for what happened here but are otherwise put off by the traditional museum shuffle. The wine tasting was a nice way to cap off the afternoon, allowing time to chat with the others in the group and learn a bit more about how Vesuvius influences the varietals of the region.

Tracey L, Jul 2017

Tour was great. Ride to Pompeii was beautiful and guide did a nice job of explaining what we were going to see in Pompeii and the history. Once in Pompeii, the guide again did a great job of pointing out the history and even the little things that we would have missed if we had chosen a self guided tour. Quite a few tourists were trying to tag along with our small 8 person group as our guide was so interesting. The wine tour was also very enjoyable with a quick, but thorough walk though the vineyards and then a delicious lunch in the beautiful restaurant with generous tastes of eight different wines. I would most definitely say this tour was worth every penny!!

We boarded our tour bus and proceeded to Pompei I am not a history fan so wasn't sure exactly how the day would pan out but I needn't have worried I found the Pompei experience so interesting and so carefully explained to us it was fascinating. Josephine did an excellent job both at Pompei and after at the vineyard of Sorrentino where we were given a tour of the vineyard followed by a gorgeous lunch and wine tasting, excellent value for money would commend this trip to all.

J. T. M. V, May 2016

We had a full day booking but sadly there were not enough people on it. We were a bit surprised that the company informed us about it late the day before, but luckily we could still do the half day Pompeii Tour. We were very happy with this half day trip, and the guide Fabrizio showed us in 2 hours a comprehensive overview . You need weeks to see Pompeii, but we were very happy with our morning. Can recommend it.

Brian F, May 2016

This tour was an excellent balance of the history of Pompeii and the beauty and relaxing environment of a fantastic family vineyard at the base of Mount Vesuvio. This was a wonderful small group tour, with plenty of time in see Pompeii, and finish off the day with a terrific wine and local food tasting experience at the Sorrentino family vineyard. Five Star!!!
