False Advertising by Viator

Nahel_G, Sep 2024
The Tour description said that a three course lunch was included in the tour. When we got on the tour our driver said that was not true and Viator had falsely advertised the lunch. We paid extra for the lunch to be included, come to find out that it was a scam. I ended up talking to Viator, the tour operator and plenty people during the tour - wasting my time and energy instead of enjoying the beautiful views. We ended up paying for our own lunch on Mt. Vesuvius and had no tour guide to climb the mountain. Do not pay for lunch on this tour, Viator falsely advertises it and do not help when it comes to being in a foreign country where I do not speak the local language. - Very disappointed

Amazing place

Lovely local and very knowledgeable guide, kept us in the shade as much as possible. Pompeii itself is amazing. However, water was not supplied as suggested in the ad so bring plenty of your own.

Excellent day - Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius

Leonardo gave us a passionate tour of Pompeii and we felt he managed to guide us around the crowds for what felt like a very personal tour. Nicola was an excellent driver and made sure we worked with our schedule.

Loved the experience. The driver was rlly smooth and lovely driving. Pompei was surreal and although weather was bad on mount vesuvius, driver was still able to get us tickets and we went up. Once in a lifetime opportunity

Perfect way to experience Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius

Darrin_H, May 2023
The tour of Pompeii was amazing! Our tour guide (we can’t remember her name) was so personable and knowledgeable. Our driver Guido was very friendly and patient. The wine tasting lunch at Cantina Del Vesuvio was great way to end the day.

Fabulous family experience

Janet_L, Jul 2022
It was a great day from beginning to end. Our driver Umberto made sure we were comfortable and cool in the extreme heat. Umberto commentated the drive from Sorentto to Vesivius. The winery was fabulous, pairing foods with local wines, delicious! Ebra finished the tour with us in Pompeii, extremely beautiful day ❤️

Book this!

A wonderful trip from start to finish. Hotel pickup from our Sorrento hotel. It was extremely hot and humid the day of our trip and our driver, Francesco (sp?) was amazing and attentive to keeping us cool and hydrated. First went to Mt Vesuvius, then a winery for a tour/tasting/lunch and then Pompei. The winery had vegetarian options for us as well. Would recommend!!!
