“It was a amazing! So special to be in a site that I have wanted to visit for 30 years. The guide was great, she showed us some really interesting areas and explained what we were looking at on the way. Prior to the tour, we had mixed up our days, and the company sorted it out without a hitch, even telling us which trains to catch (Napoli trains are a nightmare!!)”

The day was all coordinated with plenty of checking for names etc. it was a really good day!”

Overall a wonderful day, well organised and well paced. A great way to see Pompeii and Positano.”

“We had a wonderful time during this trip, despite the weather doing its best to spoil it! All the meeting details were provided in advance and were very clear. We chose the option that included a hike to the top of Mount Vesuvius. Viviana was our guide, and we were very pleased with how she handled the tour and the insightful information she shared along the way. Our first main stop was the archaeological site of Pompeii. Here, we were divided into smaller groups and handed over to professional tour guides who took us around the site for approximately two hours. It was an incredible experience to see the city…”

“We had high expectations for this tour as it was costly and we had great experience with viator tours in the past. Unfortunately, this tour was quite dissapointing. First of all, it promised hotel pick up and drop off, and neither were delivered. We started the tour by learning 5 mins before pick up that we had to go to a pick up lcation. We got on the bus at 9:40 and the Pompeii tour started at 11:30 due to total chaos at the Pompeii tour booth. (As a side note, if you have hearing problems in your right ear you will have to hand hold the ear piece you…”
