Very good guide and driver at the Pompeii and Herculaneum tour with lunch - I booked this tour online and I have been picked up on time at the meeting point. Our guide Fabiana was fantastic, knowledgeable, answered all the questions. I liked the jokes she made sometimes. Both tours were good organised, 2 hours at each location. I liked the information we have got. For lunch we had a great 3 course meal. Sometimes the touristic menus are not recommandable. I recommend Golden Tours to everybody.

Pompeii and herculaneum - Both sites are worth a visit we had a great day, the tour guide was excellent he explained everything as we went along showing things that you wouldn't notice on your own, the only downfall was the time I think it would be best to spend a whole day at pompeii and a couple more extra hours at herculaneum as there is lots to see.

Great! - This tour was great because it started with Pompeii to walk you through the structure and history. Followed by Herculaneum where the tour focused on culture and what life was like. Alex our tour guide was great. He was knowledgeable and had a sense of humor. The lunch was delicious. It's hot though and not a ton of shade so be prepared.

Happy to recommend this tour - We thought both Pompeii and Herculaneum were amazing. ‘Tony’ our guide was friendly and approachable. He looked after us well. Coach was on time and comfortable. Simple Italian meal with wine/beer/soft drink was very welcome.

The thumbs diwn - We were I able to go because the bus left without us! The time changed and they sent an email we did not receive as we were on a ship. Tried to reschedule but they would not. Do not recommend this tour company at all. Disappointed that they would not reschedule and Viator would not help at all.🤔
