Excellent day overall - Hopefully you are lucky enough to have Frankie as your guide in Pompeii. It is helpful that they offer round trip transportation directly to and from your hotel and between Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii Ruins. They handle all ticketing making it seamless for you. The only drawback is that we did not expect our shuttle to have a detour through another town on the way back so expect that the drive back might include an extra stop which added about an hour to the drive. (For reference, we were staying in Positano but the return shuttle had a stop in Sorrento).

Pompeii and Vesuvius GREAT TOUR - Sassa our tour guide at Pompeii was wonderful. He went out of his way to get to know our group and share his wealth of knowledge with us. Our drivers were prompt and extremely well organized. Car was huge with great AC which is important after a hot day walking among the ruins. We want to thank our driver for waiting for us in the morning pick up after we got the pick up time wrong. They called us and waited. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

Wonderful trip with amazing guide at Pompeii! - The trip was amazing and was a great way to see Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii in one day from Positano. Our guide at Pompeii, Frankie, was incredible. His knowledge of Pompeii was deep and he was hilarious, cracking jokes the whole time. The transportation and van transfers to pick us up in Positano and then get us to all the sites and back worked very well and was all done is well air-conditioned vans. Highly recommend the trip!

Day trip to Naples - Paolo our driver was very friendly and timely. My. Vesuvius was fun to hike up and we had a beautiful clear day to enjoy the view. We made it to the crater in 25 minutes. Frankie our guide in Pompeii was wonderful and engaging. He focused on showing our group the “main” attractions given it was only a 2 hour tour. I would recommend this tour.

Wonderful! Would highly recommend - We had an incredible time! Frankie was our tour guide and he was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and made sure we didn’t overheat during our visit (it was about 90 when we came). I learned so much during the tour and he was very approachable and answered all of our questions. Thank you Frankie for giving us a great experience!!
