Excellent Day Trip to Pompeii and Vesuvius - This was a wonderful day trip to Pompeii and Vesuvius. The tour guide at Pompeii was a hilarious local with so much knowledge of the ruins. Followed by a light lunch (no protein) with wine tasting at a local winery. Then the trip to the Vesuvius crater. The only thing to be aware of was if you do the full day tour, you'll be hiking the last part of the volcano (inaccessible by bus) after having had plenty of wine at lunch, so stay hydrated.

Tour of Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius - We really enjoyed visiting Pompeii. The tour provided lunch at a local olive oil and vineyard farm - it was a lovely setting with delicious food. We then went to Mt Vesuvius- my family enjoyed the climb- the views were amazing. The tour was a great day!

Excellent tour of Pompeii. - Desiree was a fantastic guide and was informative and humerous for the Pomeii visit. Unfortunately the Mt. Vesuvius visit had to be cancelled dou to bad weather but Buyourtour refunded that portion of the cost.

Great day! - Great day! Tour guide was great, good knowledge of Pompeii (made it come alive through story telling) and was able to guide us around large groups (to avoid waiting in long lines) without feeling that we missed anything. Lunch was good, beautiful grounds and a nice break. Walking up the volcano was very challenging physically, but we found it worth it.

Made it to the top! - We spent 2 plus hours touring Pompeii with a very knowledgeable guide. There was about 10 in our group. We stopped for lunch at a very nice and reasonably priced restaurant (about 20 euros per person not included) so if you don’t bring a lunch there is an option. The hike to the crater was a bit of a challenge but well worth the effort. It was a very nice tour and a great way to experience two iconic sites.

Top of the Mountain - It is a wonderful day full of adventures- Our Pompeii guide was very experienced and archeological experts. Very busy with cruse ship excursions - worth the adventure. Lunch at the Farmhouse lunch was delicious. Mt Vesuvius was a strenuous hike up for 25 minutes, worth it if physically able.

Fabulous experience - At Pompeii there is so much to see and our guide was superb at making sense of it all - as it can be overwhelming. It was an amazing place. The lunch and wine tasting was lovely. We liked the wine so much we bought some bottles to take home. Then on to climb the last 240m of Mount Vesuvius. We had a beautifully clear day, so our pictures are great of Naples, Sorrento peninsula and Capri. We particularly liked stopping on the way back to see Peter whose family business makes variations of limoncello with his massive sweet lemons. Again we ended up buying some (a bottle of limoncello mozzarella and also the rum limoncello) to take home with us. On so many tours there are lots of hidden extras that you need to dip into your pocket for. On this one there are none which was quite refreshing. All 6 of us had a great day thank you and wouldn't change anything about how you structure this trip. It was awesome. Thank you.

Superb day out! - Well organised trip. All effortless for us. Guide at Pompeii was excellent and very informative. We had another group join ours which made sticking with the guide a bit tricky as it got quite busy difficult

Pompeii was nice - Bus driver, Mario, had crazy skills! Maneuvering all those winding roads & avoiding the daredevil motorcycle drivers was a show itself! Pompeii was nice but our tour guide didn’t offer as many details as other guides we heard provide. We had two teachers in our group who would have enjoyed learning more lesser known history of the site and excavation. We appreciated the stop at the Limoncello shop on the way down from Mt Vesuvius. The owner put on a great presentation and had us try Limoncello with buffalo mozzarella, and it was delicious!
