Great day in Pompeii and Vesuvius - This trip was just as advertised. Two hours in Pompeii with a very knowledgeable guide and a stop in Vesuvius with enough time to walk to the top. Nello was a fun guide and the whole day went smoothly.

Amazing Pompeii/Vesuvius trip - Mimi was an excellent guide at Pompeii, hugely knowledgeable, warm, funny and able to provide interesting details without overwhelming. Robbie oversaw the whole day with professionalism and humour. He has a wealth of knowledge in the geography , history and culture of the area as well as expertise on Vesuvius - which he shared with enthusiasm. Our driver Stephano was polite and efficient, navigating the tricky roads with ease. Spotless vehicle too. We were lucky with a clear day in March. A fantastic day for the family who lived climbing an actual volcano!

Great experience - Roberto and Roberta were wonderful. Both knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend to others. Only note would be for communication between the tour and Vesuvius when poor weather is approaching. We traveled to the top to be turned away due to rain.

Enjoyable day out - We visited Pompei and Vesuvius on a lovely winter's day (early December) with few crowds to deal with. We were transported to and from Sorrento in a very comfortable van, in a small group, and enjoyed the insights from the guides.

Best experience - Pompeii was amazing…lifelong bucket list item and did not disappoint. Both our guides, Roberto and Lulu were amazing. Learned so much about Pompeii and the region. We made it up to Vesuvius but the entrance to the top was closed unfortunately…not to the fault of our tour, we appreciated their effort. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Pompeii and Vesuvius in one day - This was an awesome way to see both Pompeii and Vesuvius in one day. Our tour guide Louisa was wonderful and full of knowledge. The climb up Vesuvius is exhilarating but be aware that it is a steep climb, so wear the right shoes and pace yourself. You’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the crater, Naples, and the Mediterraneans Sea when you reach the top. Also, there are no restrooms anywhere on the mountain, so make sure you go before the bus ride.

I am removing a star... - I am removing a star because the company contacted us a few weeks before the tour date to move our tour date to the following day due to low season and low demand. The experience itself was very good. We enjoyed seeing Pompeii with our local guide Mimi. He was very knowledgeable, answered questions and had good energy. Vesuvius was also very good and we were lucky to have great views. The management of tour timing by Roberto was very good.

Explore it on your own - I would recommend a self guided Pompeii tour with audio guide. Our tour guide LuLu preferred stand and talk versus walk and explore. We could have seen so much more on our own with the limited time we had. Too many references to Mickey Mouse and other nonsensical comments as though we were a 3rd grade class.
