The day was ok but because the audio did not work on my phone or others we had NO guide for the volcano! The person who was the guide did not know what to do about this!
Tough walk up Vesuvius, but the views are spectacular. Pompeii is unforgettable. Bring water to both sitesor even just a water bottle to Pompeii as there are fountains you can fill your bottle from!
Wonderful day of seeing two Incredible places. Our tour guides and driver made it a educational and fun day.
Great day out. Full of information and logistically well organised. Both tour guides (Mario and Anna) were excellent
Unfortunately, I really can’t give a review on this tour as the bus did not show up to take us on this tour.
pompeii was rushed - hardly had any time to see things and missed most of it. tour changed start time, a lot of wasted time during tour
Mario and Mario were excellent guides on our trip to Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii! So many interesting facts that they both knew and the flow was perfect. Weather ended up being perfect. I would highly recommend both Mario’s!
Mario and Mario were so great! Funny, punctual, informative. The whole package. We were very happy with our entire tour and routine. Very fun day.
Caserta was so much more than we expected. We now understand why our guide is in love with the English garden. Our guide was both incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Caserta. We do not remember her name, but we know she lives near Pompeii.
Awesome! A little tough in the heat with a long and physical day but definitely worth it!
