Fun Full Day Excursion - VERY interesting tour of Pompeii. It is a fascinating place. Lunch at the winery was lovely. Hike up Mt. Vesuvius was a good way to end the day with an increased heart rate! Fun stop at a limoncello stand on the way home. Entertaining day for sure. Be prepared for an entire day of activity (8 AM - 6 PM).

Great day, great time! - The trip to Pompeii, Vesuvius and lunch at a local winery was fabulous! Ended with a limoncello tasting and more. Paola was an excellent guide as was the guide in Pompeii (sport can’t remember his name!!) We would thoroughly recommend this tour. A long day but well worth it!

Awesome - An awe inspiring experience and a wish list completed. Pompeii is majestic in its destruction and the works to excavate amazing. Vesuvius is amazing, the hike a little tough but worth it. The tastings and the craft visits were appropriate.

Great visit to Pompeii with wine tasting! - All exactly as advertised! Well done. Good 2 hr tour of Pompeii, very informative. If want to learn more, look into YouTube! Very nice winery stop. Unfortunately for us, high winds closed Vesuvius, but guide made best of the time.

Pompeii Tour - We had a nice time exploring Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius. Lunch was simple, but very good. The crowds were heavy, so we were happy to have a guide to show us around.

Good guide, not for the whole tour - The experience started well with a pick up at hotel to Pompeii. The tour guide was very good, informative and friendly. Unfortunately she rushed out after an hour and a half. Shortly after the driver came took us to Mt Vesuvius drop us off to fend for ourselves without any instructions or narrative. We received an hour and a half of guidance out of seven hour tour. Not sure why the tour guide did not continue with us. We will try and get a refund from Viator.

Problemas com transporte/organização Headout - Our experience with company Headout was extremely disappointing and caused significant damage to two full days of our trip. On the first day, during the scheduled tour, we and another family were left behind in Herculaneum for over an hour, without proper assistance. We were traveling with a child, without access to food, water, or phone charging facilities. As a result of this serious failure, we completely missed the visit to Pompeii, a core part of the tour we had purchased. Following this incident, the company itself offered to reschedule the Pompeii tour for the next day, an option that we immediately accepted, requesting the new tickets right away. Trusting this solution, we rearranged our entire itinerary and postponed our trip to Rome solely to take part in the rescheduled tour. However, on the following day, the company did not show up at the meeting point at all. We arrived on time and waited for over 30 minutes, with no representative present and no communication. When we contacted the company, we were told—after a brief apology—that there were no available spots, despite the tour having been offered and accepted the day before. As a result, two days of our trip were completely ruined due to the company’s operational failures. We request an immediate refund, and we were informed that it will take 5 to 7 business days, meaning after our trip has already ended, which only adds to the frustration. This reflects a complete lack of organization, communication, and respect for customers, particularly families traveling internationally with limited time and careful planning. We do not recommend this company, and we hope this review helps other travelers avoid a similar experience.
