No show for tour.

Lisa_D, Apr 2026

We were given 2 different meeting points. The tour guide was a no show. Trying to get our money back. We also were unable to contact our tour operators.

Good tour

Joanne_M, Apr 2026

It was a very full day, the tour company feel like a well oil machine and kept timings really well. I don't remember seeing anything about bringing lunch and time isn't factored in to eat, luckily we brought food with us but I think this could be clearer. We went to Pompeii after Herculaneum and finished at Vesuvius. All the sites were fab but it would have been great to have longer at Pompeii, especially given the itinerary change this was the time we had to factor in food as well. One of our audio guides didn't have any battery charge at Pompeii so this did hinder the experience a little as we had to try and share.

Multiple vans, that was perfect!

humberto_l, Feb 2026

I bought this experience for the next day and they made it. Multiple vans soo we didn't have to wait for long. Recommended for people with little time.

Vesuvius, Heraculean and Pompeii tour

Paula_M, Jan 2026

Information provided at Vesuvius only. We should have been notified to bring ear buds for Heraculean tour. App kept kicking us out and we wasted time Signing on every few minutes. Audio devices did not work well at Pompeii and not enough time provided for exploring!

Spell Bounded !

Excellent Service

It was fantastic not have to worry and being dropped off as close as possible. Everything was well explained. We had plenty of time at each location. Everyone was very nice.

Very interesting and you can see alot in one day!

Daniel_W, Sep 2025

This experience was very well organised. We visited all three locations in one day, picked up from Naples. The highlight for me was Versuvius, it was a twenty minute walk to the highest point you can get to, although the walk is very steep. The views were amazing across the bay of Naples! You are allocated over one hour at this location, I would recommend using the bathroom before going to Versuvius as being up the side of a volcano there are facilities, but they are lacking. Herculaneum was a small settlement which like Pompeii has been excavated to reveal very well preserved buildings. Personally I found Pompeii to be a more interesting stop, however I do think Herculaneum is well worth the visit. You are allocated about two hours at both of these locations and there are good facilities at both. The tour operators were well organised and made transition between each stop nice and smooth. The buses did have air-condtioning which was needed in the August heat. This is a self-guided tour, although audio-guides were provided at Herculaneum and Pompeii. Overall I would recommend this tour, it is a long day out, but very interesting and you can see alot in one day!

Don’t book with Viator, they suck and especially don’t book this tour, the company are scam artists

Joseph_M, Aug 2025

Didn’t turn up. I followed google maps to the meeting point through the Viator app got there 30 mins before they would pick me up and no one turned up. Got a WhatsApp message saying where are you we are leaving now at 9:25am, then got a WhatsApp call, answered and was just this Italian man speaking broken English and yelling, tried to say it’s only 5 minutes past pick up time, I’m sure I’m here, I followed the directions exactly but if I’m at the wrong place please send me your location and I’ll run there or even get a taxi if I have to, shouted something else at me, hung up and wouldn’t answer any of my calls, stood there for another 30 minutes trying to call and message to try sort this out as I desperately didnt want to miss this tour, nothing and I Didn’t get a refund either because they said I didn’t turn up and I said they didn’t, so Viator just said there’s nothing they can do, I’m going to be using GetYourGuide from now on, there customer service help you more and actually believe you but if you continue to use Viator, I wouldn’t book the specific tour, it’s very expensive and if how the treated me as a customer despite what I’d spent or trying to help or figure out what happened at all, just not ok, at this point considering how rude and aggressive they were im guessing the whole thing is a scam, Naples is rough and dangerous as hell, people trying to scam, beg and steal of you everything they can.

Not for Pompeii

Luis_D, Aug 2025

Pompeii is self guided and it makes it an awful experience. The park is poorly marked (it's worse than you'd expect). If you're going to Pompeii, pay for a tour guide. Vesuvius is nice, Herculaneum is ok.

Great tour to fit...

Debbie_D, Jun 2025

Great tour to fit everything in, in one day. Co’ordinated well at each stop. Only disappointment was, it states in advert that it’s a max of 17 people, but there were 50 on our bus, which can be frustrating when you’re hanging around ticking off all the travellerd

Mamma mia....

Kimberly_S, Oct 2024

Overall there was poor communication throughout the process. At the starting meeting location there were several groups waiting for a bus and the 2 coordinators did not tell anyone what was going on. The listing says group size of 17 and there were 40 of us on the bus, with narrow seats. We first went to Mt. Vesuvius where there was a mile long steep hike to the top which I don't think was written on the excursion detail. The views were worth the hike of course. We then went to the Herculaneum followed by Pompeii which were self guided tours. At each stop we were given a time to meet back at the bus. The Herculaneum drop off location was strange though as it was several blocks away from the entrance instead of taking us to the bus lot. We did not have nearly enough time at Pompeii to see even the highlights. I think in total we walked 8 miles. Lunch is not provided on the tour but there was a pizza shop next to the tour company place at Pompeii. The bus was late picking us up from Pompeii making the connection back to the cruise port very tight. This excursion is good for those just looking for transportation between these areas.

Just OK

James_T, Sep 2024

It was a lot for one day. The tour-provided audio guide for Herculaneum reference numbers didn’t match the site’s numbers. The names didn’t translate easily either. So I felt like I missed a LOT there.

Was a very good tour. No...

Keira_L, Aug 2024

Was a very good tour. No need to pay extra to get into the sights like others do, so all round worth the money!

Big sites from Naples

Victoria_F, Jul 2024

Doing all 3 big sites was great to get them all done. Climbing Vesuvio first was best way to go, too strenuous and hot later in day. Covered most of Herculenium in 2 hours given but the 2.5 for Pompeii was too short. I would probably do Vesuvio and Herculaneum one day and allow a full day for Pompeii if we come back.

compressed but still comperhensive day!

Isaac_Y, Jul 2024

The mountain, what else? And Herculaneum, off-course! That was my 2nd visit to the Pompei site, it was well worth it I liked the 3 sites schedule & if you dont have a car do this! Be sure to load up on some knowledge on what you are about to see though, It is self guided!

A full day of discoveries

MarieDominique_B, May 2024

Going up the Vésuve was a great challenge but rewarding. Herculaneum and Pompei are great learning experience.

Fantástica travesía!

Alejo_C, Apr 2025

Sumergirse en la historia de Pompeya y Herculano, conocer el Vesubio fue alucinante! Recomiendo estar bien físicamente porque el ingreso al volcán es muy empinado y complejo. En cada casa de estos pueblos sumergidos en la tragedia vive la historia, impactante los galpones en Herculano donde murieron decenas de trabajadores
