Over priced and underwhelmed - Was made out like a great tour but loads was done by the excellent transport of tramvia and tickets which we could of bought. Transport is just shutting from place to place nothing to do with tours.

Mandatory destination - I've only been to Vesuvius: an obligatory destination if you go there, you have to walk a bit towards the crater but then the view makes up for it all!

Bit chaotic but a fantastic trip - We were asked to change the day of our tour and ended up doing it the first full day we were in naples. A little bit chaotic as the driver didn't seem to know the full plan but we got there in the end. Overall a great trip and our driver was very friendly and cracked a few jokes, he had a small translater with him so we were able to communicate even though the language barrier was there. Herculaneum is awesome, much easier and less daunting than pompeii and definately worth a trip. Vesuvius is much tougher than it looks but if you make it to the top the views are stunning, if you're physically fit enough it's definately a must do.

Beautiful. - Amazing experience! The bus takes you almost to the summit of Vesuvius, leaving only a short walk of about 20 minutes to reach the crater. The path is slightly uphill and gravelly bottomed, but absolutely feasible with a pair of comfortable shoes. Once at the top, the guided tour offers interesting explanations about the history and activity of the volcano, enriching the experience even more. The view is simply spectacular and pays off every step you take to get there!

Unorganized - The individual places were great, but I did not like the organization of Tramvia. It felt like too much was on the transportation service’s plate.
