Everything about this tour was amazing!

Donna_F, Oct 2023

Everything about this tour was amazing! Fantastic 3-course lunch with beverage was included. Our guide Carmella was so knowledgeable, upbeat and patient and the driver was concerned with safety. It’s a little hairy driving up/down Mt Vesuvius. Be ready for a full day of walking.

Highly Recommended

This tour was amazing! Our tour guide Antonito was very friendly and informative, and kept all of the information engaging! Our bus driver, Vincenzo, was also amazing and got us to each stop of the tour with no problems even when we were in high-traffic parts of the cities. The Pompeii tour and the Vesuvius hike were incredible, I would recommend comfortable walking shoes for both and be sure to take your time walking up and down Vesuvius as some of the terrain/gravel can be slippery. The top of the volcano is worth it though!!

Brilliant Pompei and Vesuvius day tour

JulieAnn_P, Jun 2022

What a fantastic day out we had with our lovely guide Tony and our driver Gigi. From the start of the day Tony was helpful, funny always letting you know what was up next. The tour of Pompei was great, we were shown all the best bits with great info lasted 2 hours and it was just the right amount of time. The lunch in the restaurant was amazing. Lovely starter of bruchetta with tomatoes and garlic, followed by gorgeous pasta with a lovely sauce and then a small icecream dessert also all came with a drink of your choice, soft or alcohol. After lunch we headed to Vesuvius. On the way Tony gave us loads if info which passed the time nicely and our driver Gigi was excellent as the drive up is hairy to say the least. Once there, If you wished you could climb to the top, which we did. This is NOT for the faint hearted it is one hell of a climb. If you are not able there are lower lovely viewing points. After you have time to grab souvenirs and then it's time to head back. It really was an excellent experience and cracking day out cant recommend enough.
