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 entire experience was great! We were picked up by bus, got to see Pompeii and Vesuvius, got something good to eat along the way and were supported by our great guide Daniel and our busdriver. Daniel was lot's of fun and explained a lot of interesting historical and local facts to us about Neaples and our destinations. Thank you, I would definitly recommend it +1

Our visit to Pompei and Herkulaneum was truly amazing, as we had an incredible tour guide who turned out to be also a professional archaeologist. Michael made the trip interesting and fun. Our driver Pasquale got us perfectly on time back to Naples centre!

The guide to Pompeii was very tidious. Her english was not so good. Most of the time, she spoke on unimportant details. this made the tour in Pompeii very unplesent.

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.

They charged me an extra 40€ because by mistake you gave me the ticket from Pompeii instead I had asked for it from Naples; 40€ paid to be able to leave from Naples moreover without any receipt

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!

Very well organized trip, meeting points clear and easy to find. Enough time in each place to see everything. We highly recommend this activity, which allows you to see 3 emblematic places close to Naples in one day!

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!

I didn't really go, I didn't make it to the bus, but I managed to contact the organizater and got my pompeii entrance ticket and used them to go on my own. 10/10 communication experience

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.

I booked a GUIDED TOUR, and the description say GUIDED TOUR, and we got an audioguide that in Herculeanum didn't work at all. Plus in Pompeii we got another audiguide and we booked with you guys because it say GUIDED, we don't like audioguides Such a wait of money and time! Don't trust in this company

The organisation and logistics to get through so much in one day was great. Could not have managed it independently. It is fast paced but we saw loads and it was stunning. A bit more warning to bring own food and about the terrain would have been helpful

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.
