Hassle free happiness - Booked 3 tours with Tempio in October 25: Skip the line with 2 hour walking guided tour of Pompei, Skip the line with 2 hour walking guided tour of Herculaneum & Minibus day trip to Positano & Amalfi. All 3 were excellent. Both tour guides were friendly, welcoming, approachable and very informative and passionate about their subject. The minibus driver whilst not speaking much English played us a helpful recording of the days schedule - and offered to take photos for everyone at a scenic location. Office staff also very helpful.

Herculaneum Tour - Loved our tour of Herculaneum archaeological restorations. Tour was fabulous led by Giovanni who has an excellent manner, welcoming, with good humour and so informative about the archaeological restorations. Thoroughly recommend this tour

Herculaneum Tour 17 Sept 2025 - Excellent tour. Transport on time and very attentive driver. Herculaneum tour so very interesting and Giovanni explained everything perfectly and answered in detail every question. Thank you

Two stunning hours in Herculaneum - Train tickets and wrist band identifying us as a particular group were ready and waiting at the pickup point as advised by the agency’s representative. Clear instructions on which train to catch were also included. Advice on getting to the Herculaneum meeting point were a bit confusing as the tour is titled Herculaneum but everything is signposted as Ercolano. Pace of the tour was excellent and our tour guide Giovanni was very informative and managed the needs of the group well. Really liked his presentation style. There were two negative aspects of this tour. Firstly, two members of the group got off at the wrong stop as they were listening for Herculaneum but the stop refers to Erculano. Secondly two of our group dropped out just past the initial level of the tour walking was too difficult on the cobblestones and the track too steep for them to use. The brochure does not mention level of fitness or walking capability requirements

We can recommend this... - We can recommend this tour since we had an excelkent tour guide, Giovanni. His informative and fascinating narrative took us back in time and left us with a need to read more about Roman civilisation and the daily life of the affluent Romans in the colonies. Without Giovanni the visit would not have been the same. His knowledge of Roman architecture and engineering and art made this an experience that we will remember forever. Thank you again Giovanni and the friendly staff at Tempeist Travel Agency in Sorrento.

Excellent visit - Visit to Herculaneum today, offered as a replacement for a Vesuvius excursion cancelled following the large fire in early August. Not disappointed, very interesting visit. Giovanni is a very professional, attentive guide and he distills his knowledge with pleasure.

Giovanni is amazing! - What an amazing experience - bringing history to life! Giovanni was an exceptional tour guide, knowledgeable, clear and personable - he was the best bit of the tour! The trains are easy to navigate with lots of support around and the journey was beautiful! Top Tip: bring LOTS of water as it is up and down slopes, steps and hills, but definitely make this a must do!

A Spectacular Glimpse into Ancient Times! - We could not believe our eyes when we walked through the gates and looked below at the ruins. It felt like we walked back into history. Our guide was terrific. She was very knowledgeable, passionate and walked us through the history of the ruins explaining everything as we went. We loved our time here and it was on of our favourite days of our entire three week vacation to Italy and Greece. A day we will cherish!

Great guide for the tour made the day - Booked the tour at the office by the train station. Given train tickets and entrance tickets. Timing was tight for train and to get to guide but was fine. Guide was excellent and very passionate about the history and tied in nicely after visiting Pompeii the day before. We were not rushed and enjoyed the day.

Good trip except the for journey back - A good guide made the visit informative and interesting. However along with most other people on the tour we got on the wrong train returning to Sorrento there were no announcements and we didn't know another train came in at the same time as ours was due. we nearly ended up a long way from Sorrento without the help of another passenger on the train.
