Skip-the-Line Exclusive Private Ancient Pompeii og Vesuvius Volcano Full Day Tour

Navigating Pompeii and Vesuvius are not straight-forward. Our driver Lucia was very professional, prompt and made sure all our transfers (including Vesuvius which is a very disorganized site!) when smoothly. She took care of ensuring our tickets were in hand, gave perfect instructions to navigate each site and was waiting in the perfect places as we came out. Our guide for Pompeii was Anna and she was fantastic - got us through the lines and navigated well in front of or behind all the large tour groups with precision! She knew all of their moves and because there were not tons of tourists there, I got so many pictures with either no one or few people in the shots! Anna was also incredibly knowledgeable about the site and gave us great insights on the history and art that decorates the site - she came prepared too with a bag full of books with illustrations and drawings that helped hus understand what we were looking at. It was a very thoughtful (she even helped us find water to purchase before and after the tour!) and full agenda. No way we would have had the same experience in a large tour. Pay the extra money for the private experience - it is well worth it!

Our driver had good English and was very knowledgeable and was a total delight. Our tour guide Italio was amazing. Having an archeologist as a tour guide is the best. His English was amazing and his insights were unbelievable. And he had worked on the site as a student and researcher

Our driver Franz picked us up on time, very knowledgeable, and fun! 1st stop was Vesuvius where he made sure we got through the gates. Vesuvius is definitely worth the hike but be prepared for cold and wind first thing in the morning. Views were stunning. Franz was extremely positive, upbeat, funny, and answered all our questions. He was willing to make random stops for photo opportunities. Our Pompeii guide Italio was super knowledgeable about Pompeii, guided us through the maze of people and his subtle humor was perfect for our group. Of course we wish we had alot more time since Pompeii is a big area. We barely made a dent in our 2 hours. Franz ended our trip to a local restaurant with food recommendations that were superb!

The visit to Pompeii was in the morning with Antonella who is an archaeologist. It was spectacular. The visit to Vesuvius with Mario was very good too. For the latter you have to go with good trekking shoes as it is slippery.

Had an amazing time at the site, and our guide was top notch. Very engaging and very knowledgeable about everything there is at Pompeii and the history surrounding.

We booked this tour 8 months in advance. We had confirmation though the app. And it was pre-paid. We got off the ship and waited 30min past the pick up time. I called Viator thay said we would be picked up in 15min. Waited another 30min. I had to call Viator back. They then said they did not get any confirmation and they canceled our tour. With no options, They didn't attempt to try to get us another tour. They just said sorry you're on your own. Viator did nothing to help! Just sad. WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN!

We booked this tour from a recommendation by a family member who loved it 6 years ago. It was perfect from start to finish, including the booking company! Our very friendly driver met us at the Naples train station and drove us to Pompeii where we met with our outstanding tour guide, Fabio. He shared his extensive knowledge of Pompeii having studied both anthropology and archaeology. We had a lovely lunch at the on site restaurant and sampled famous Naples Pizza! We then were taken to Mount Vesuvius and climbed to the top. Stunning views of the Amalfi coast! Next we were driven for our final stop, where we met Fabio for a tour of the Naples museum, which contained many artifacts and set pieces retrieved from Pompeii. This trip was exactly what we wanted and we nightly recommended this tour!

Absolutely the highlight of our trip! What a wonderful way to experience Pompeii and Vesuvius! Raffaelo 'Lelo', our guide was a delight and we enjoyed every minute we spent with him as we experienced and learned about Pompeii.....just fantastic. And our trip to Vesuvius was so easy because of the skip-the-line trip. This was an experience that our whole family really enjoyed. Highly, highly recommend!

It's worth the price. My guide Italo was extremely knowledgeable and explained how they were able to learn about civil society by the archeological evidence that survived since all historical records were destroyed by the eruption. Also, there was no wasted time waiting in lines, and he guided me around the crowds to see as much as possible in the time allowed.

Very hot! Saw pompei which was amazing, and a world wonder. Accommodation was fantastic. On the downside, very dirty, and overcrowded city.
