“fantastic from start to finish expensive but worth the money. We were collected on time by Chris the tour leader and Francessco the driver, a good explanation was given as to the day ahead . On getting to Pompei our guide massimo was great leading us around expertly and giving us as much information as was possible in the time. Please be warned that Pompei is such a big area that you always leave feeling that you have only scratched the surface this was our second trip of the week and i would expect that we probably saw a maximum of 30%. A simple lunch was had at Pompei before…”

“Fantastic experience, we learned a lot! The hotel pickup with Alessandro was slick, the Pompeii tour well organised - we could have easily stayed another hour or so and wandered around ourselves after the organised tour (maybe that could be an option in future tours). The lunch was typical tourist fare, but did the job for my son and I before we headed up to Vesuvius with our driver, Marcelo. Such an amazing view at the top- it’s a moderate walk up the volcano and we saw some steaming in the caldera, which was special. The day was clear, so we had a magical view out over the Bay of…”

“We paid a lot of money for a VIP experience and booked a long way in advance but on the day we were told that the company didn't have enough tickets available for us to climb Mt Vesuvius. We don't know if that's because other groups had been prioritised, or whether there was a different issue. But it was a huge disappointment and while we were given an alternative activity (a visit to Amalfi), our trip was to see Pompeii and climb Mt Vesuvius - everything else was going to be a bonus. Our driver, Antonio, however, was fabulous and if the review was about our experience with him on…”
