Excellent tour of Pompeii and the Herculeum - This tour was very well organised. The instructions were clear for meeting point. The day was well paced. The guide Antonio was informative and interesting. Lunch was included and delicious. They catered for my gluten free - allergy requirement. I considered other tours and they all seemed to include Amalfi which would have been too much for one day. We travelled on fast train to Naples and then were met by Antonio with a small bus. Driver was also great. We had plenty of time to see Pompeii and it’s a huge site.. lunch was relaxed. I can’t recommend this tour enough. It was excellent! Book it!!!

Don't miss this one! - This was a wonderful tour. Our guide Kiara was extremely knowledgeable and very nice! We had a small group which made it even more enjoyable. There is a fair amount of walking, so be prepared. The lunch included was very nice as well.

Excellent Tour - This tour was very well organized. The tour guides were at the train station when we got there and explained how to use the train system. The tour guide for Pompeii was excellent. She showed us the highlights. The lunch was wonderful as well. Well worth it!

Great service, better than expected tour. - We weren’t sure what to expect, a huge tour group or something smaller. We happened to go on this trip on the day of the strikes to protest Gaza. The company reps met us in the station in Rome and we were taken care of for the rest of the trip. We were rebooked on a later train due to cancellations but still had the whole Pompeii and Herculaneum experience. The tour group was just a dozen so we could ask questions etc. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this tour. Even the lunch was better than expected, I had fish instead of pizza.

Having a guide who is an... - Having a guide who is an archaeologist with experience at these sites made the trip very special. This was my third trip to Pompeii, in particular, yet I learned so much new information and saw tremendous progress in the work and understanding since my last visit. Well worth it!

Fun day in Pompeii and Herculaneum - This was one of the only tours to visit both sites. I thought our guide was very knowledgeable and related the lives of the ancient people to our time. There was a change with the train schedule (not the tour company’s fault) and the threat of rain, but they were able to adjust the tour schedule to make it all work nicely.

Excellent tour with great organisation and very knowledgeable guides. - Excellent tour with knowledgeable guides. In very difficult circumstances with strikes (leading to train cancellations) and large demonstrations at both Rome and Naples stations, the company and guides managed to provide the tour although it was shortened because of lost time. The guide compared and contrasted the effects of the eruption on Pompeii and Herculaneum in great detail explaining exactly what happened (with a timeline). How the bodies and artefacts were preserved in each. Lunch was good too!

Excellent Day Trip to Pompeii and Hurculaneum - Tour guide was super knowledgeable and engaging. Answered questions extensively and the pace was perfect. The whole tour was very well organized, from getting on/off the trains, to the tour bus and getting on site. The whole ordeal was seamless. The pizza lunch was also very good.
