An Absolute “Must-Do” in Pompeii!

maria_s, Jul 2025
We absolutely LOVED this tour and our entire day in Pompeii! Our driver, Luigi, was hands down the BEST! He was personable, funny, knowledgeable and recommended the BEST lunch spot (I Matti Pizzeria). Mareluce was our tour guide in Pompeii and was PHENOMENAL! She was incredibly knowledgeable, and kept our kids (7&9) engaged, while sharing all information in a kid-friendly manner. We would absolutely recommend this tour and these two guides to anyone—they made our day in Pompeii one to remember!

A great day at Vesuvius and Pompeii

We had a great experience in Naples using this tour company. Our driver Luca took us up the slopes of Vesuvius and back down to the ruins of Pompeii quickly and safely. We were met at Pompeii by Mena, who was so knowledgeable and was such a lovely person. We truly enjoyed our tour of the ruins with her. Well before our tour we were properly communicated with by the company so there was no worry or doubt. I would highly recommend using this company for a day trip of the two major sights in Naples!

Great tour company

Both the driver and guide were energetic and engaged in ensuring we had a quality experience; would highly recommend both.

Thanks for your review

Just wonderful!

This is a Bucket List item that is now crossed off. It was made remarkable by the Viatour driver (Lucca) and a kind,respectful, and knowledgeable guide (Barbara). We gave her our direction about what we wanted to see and she made it happen. These things do not always work out, but when they do it is sheer pleasure. Thank you.

We had a separate guide for Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii. Both were very knowledgeable. The guide for Mt. Vesuvius shared several facts with us as we drove to the mountain. This was good, as once we started climbing it would have been difficult to talk. It is a steep hike with loose gravel so have good shoes and water. There are two stops that have snacks and drinks also. We celebrated the climb with lemonciello at the top! Pompeii was very interesting and can't imagine not having a guide to make sense of it all. She was extremely knowledgable and passionate about Pompeii. Both tours included just our family, so very personal.
