The driving was perfect. The guiding was fun and everything perfect apart from that the guide went forward at one time with only half of the group. Luckily it was possible to call one of those who left with her to find out where to go! What we didn't like is that the tour was advertised to start with a pick up at 7:30 but didn't start until 55 minutes later. We only got to know that the tour was to start at 8:30 when another group was picked up from the same company around 8:10. After waiting 40 minutes.

The guide was good (can't remember his name..maybe Micheal) he is also an archaeologist. His explanations and descriptions of the 2 sites are so thorough. Really enjoy the day. My only grief is that the meeting point. You shouldn't put as the main train station but in front of the Starhotel Terminus, across the street from the train station.

As so many others have mentioned, the only good thing about this tour was the transportation! The driver was perhaps the rudest person I've ever encountered while traveling (a person who voluntarily deals with tourists and still being this rude and inconsiderate, he honestly should be fired from this company!) Weather was unpredictable, which is beyond anyone's control, however, we were dropped off at Mt. V without being told that there was Zero visibility at the top or even being given the option to skip it, a total waste of an hour plus of our day. After the volcano, we were dropped off at Herculaneum. Far too much time was allowed for this location- it can be seen within an hour. By time we got to Pompeii, we were told that the buildings were going to be closed within 15 minutes. Having entered on the far end near the stadium, totally ruined our plan to see the highlights. We have actually been to Pompeii before and were very excited to be back, however this tour (or lack thereof) just ruined all we were excited about! DO NOT make the mistake that I did, I always take reviews with a grain of salt, but assume it of course cannot be that bad. Unfortunately this tour was the worst. We paid a good amount of money, which honestly we should have received a discount due to the bad weather or even a cancellation of the tour beforehand, we would have had a better day just doing our own thing! Would never recommend this tour for anyone, please go look elsewhere the tour and money spent will be better for you!

This tour is basically a travel service between Pompei, Mt Vesuvius and Herculaneum. We were taken to Mt Vesuvius and left there - told to meet the bus at particular time. Considerable confusion about which bus to get on - driver very confused. Next we were dropped at Herculaneum with an audio guide that was totally separate to the Herculaneum numbers so when you played it, it didn't match where you were. Got back to bus at time we were told. Company miscounted number of participants so we had to sit and wait an extra 15 minutes. Driver was not happy and drove us back to Pompei in a very unsafe manner (130km/hr) on highway in a rickety minibus. Then we were left at Pompei with audio guide which had to be returned by 5.30 so you could get your ID back. An extremely disorganised company and too expensive to basically pay for transport and entry tickets. Enjoyed climbing Mt Vesuvius and wandering around Pompei and Herculaneum without audio guides.

Good transport and organisation. Unfortunately the audio guides did not correspond to the places in Erculaneum. In pompeii, it was intermittent. Overall they were amazing places to visit. This company get you to the places, take the hassle out of buying the tickets, and drive you safely back at the end of the day.

Very well organized day. We were able to visit all 3 sites, without having to rush for Herculanum and Mount Vesuvius. For pompei, they show us the places to visit and the time allotted. Don't forget good shoes, as you'll be walking a lot. The team was top-notch. They even spoke a little French, even though we weren't supposed to. Audioguide for herculanum and pompei in French. Very nice!

The bus journeys between the locations went smoothly. The distribution of tickets also worked well. The time management in Pompeii was poor. We had planned 2 hours, which is very short for this place. It was the last stop of the tour between 3 and 5 PM. It must have taken 15 minutes to walk inside to the buildings. On this day, for reasons unknown to me, Pompeii closed at 5 PM and from 4 PM the buildings were cordoned off and could no longer be visited from the inside. The organizer did not inform us that the buildings would be closed off so early, nor did they reschedule the tour due to the closure of the complex at 5 PM and went to Pompeii first. As a result, we had the least time at the largest of the 3 sites, as we effectively only had 45 minutes for the buildings in Pompeii. In my opinion, this was a planning error on the part of the organizer. Pompeii as the first stop would have been necessary on this day in order to be able to see more of the buildings from the inside.

It is a bit chaotic. Firstly the Busses stopped like 10 Meters ahead of the meeting point, which let some confused if this are really the right busses. They couldve shouted like Vesuvio Tour here, but they just started reading out the names of the people which were sometimes hard to hear when standing at the back of the crowd. They didn't check a single ticket so anyone could've came and said they were me and they would've just took them. The first stop in Pompeii was good, they gave you clear instructions, you got an audio guide and a map and were told to meet at the meeting point at a certain time. I didn't use the audio guide so can't say anything about it. Then we went to Vesuvio, also there we were told to be back at a certain time. I was back few minutes before and thought that they call out the names again, but for some reason they didn't and there were 2 of their buses. I was there 5 minutes before but almost missed the bus because of that confusion. Then we went to the Heraculaneum site, where we could not enter because the guard there said it was too late to enter. We all had our tickets that we paid for already but the bus driver took us back to the starting point in Naples. We didn't get offered any refund, no apology, nothing. While Pompei and Vesuvio was great, I cannot recommend this tour if you only get 2/3 of what you pay.

The introduction by a team member to the tour was so bried and uninformative. There is no guide but a machine for Pompei. The content of this machine is minimal only 2 out of 10 monumenta have recorded information. As if this is not enough there was no guide no electronic recording for Herculeneum. And more over the driver left two of us at Herculeneum saying that we are not on the list!!!! Yes ! They left us at Herculeneum!!! At Vesuvio again no guide no electronic guide - the Volcanologist is on site for additionla tour and fee so not included at all. Basicly this is tour with no guide no working electronic recording and they leave you behind ! Certainly no one took responsibilty and no accountability.

A guided tour to the two archaeological sites would have been far better. The coach at Herculaneum failed to reserve seats for us, so my wife and I had to lose a full forty minutes off our allocated time in Pompeii, shiest we waited for another coach! This meant we only had less than two hours there..... Shame.

The vesuve is not to be missed There's an ascent, to be done slowly 😉 The volcano is just magnificent But be careful, you'll be stopped to park, so you'll need to have your change with you: 3€ per person for the climb, and the driver will take you to the ticket office. We didn't have any change, so we had to make the climb in 30 min.

Our guide was great. He was young and excited and his English was very good. Manuelo (?) was ideal to represent your company to a foreigner. It was a very full itinerary and the included lunch was delicious and FILLING!

i liked the guide at Pompeii. He was quite knowledgeable and personable. But the day was pouring rain and it was a bit hard to navégate the streets which were actually flowing creeks. Hard to see much in the rain. I'm going back again tomorrow and hoping for better weather.

The tour was great and really enjoyed visiting Pompeii. As the site is so large - having a map of the site prior to arrival ( perhaps passed out on the bus) would have helped. The tour route could also be marked out on such a map, We would have spent more of our time at the site and not outside over the lunch period - perhaps offer this as an option.

The meeting point was easy to find and the staff were helpful and friendly. The bus left on time. We would book again and let someone with experience drive the serpentines. They even printed out the tickets for our group for the entrance to Vesuvius. At Vesuvius we had enough time to hike to the crater (approx. 20 minutes) and to walk around the crater as far as possible. An impressive experience.
