Pompei and Herculaneum tour - Our tour guide Vincent was absolutely brilliant, very knowledgeable, informative and also brought a bit of humour to the group, would highly recommend the tour, the only thing I would say, we literally only had 25mins for lunch to then get 2 trains to the Herculaneum site, all in all an excellent day.

Guided tour of Herculaneum and Pompei - Wonderful experience! Our tour guide Raffaele was very good and a nice sense of humor. We likes the fact that we had some time to have lunch in between both sites visited. Viator is always a good choice.

It's a long day, but you... - It's a long day, but you get to see a fair bit. The tour is somewhat slow paced, which we enjoyed as this is a vacation. Liked that there's a bus transfer instead of the train. That was more efficient and comfortable.
