It was a great mix of Pompeii and Naples. The guides were very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. The van ride was very comfortable and easy. The Pompeii section was only two hours, but that was plenty to get a good feel for the place. You would generally needs days to see it all, it the two hours was enough. Overall, it was a great day!
Was a great tour! Our guide was so wonderful and explained the history and different land marks as we drove to Naples and Pompeii. The tour at Pompeii was excellent!! You can tell the guides have a passion for what they do.
We had an enjoyable experience on our tour. Nariman was a great tour leader. He was funny and very engaging with the group. He knew a lot of facts about the places we went and made sure everyone had a great time! Our driver Alessio was great and was always there right away to take us to the next location. The vehicle was air conditioned and very spacious so it made the ride there and back comfortable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit Pompeii and Naples!
We had a small group of six (two families) with hotel pick up and drop off. Pompeii was very interesting, lunch was beautiful at a winery with a view of Mt. Vesuvius, and the walking tour of Naples took us to some lovely sights. Nariman, our guide, was very knowledgeable and made sure the kids had fun. Alessio, our driver, got us there quickly and safely. 10/10!

Our family (including one teen and two young adults) had a wonderful day traveling with our guide Nariman and driver Emanuele to Pompeii, the Cantina del Vesuvio, and the city of Naples. The day began with them picking us up at our hotel in a very nice air conditioned van. Along the way to Pompeii, we stopped for a restroom break and an opportunity to get some coffee or breakfast. On the way there, Nari did an excellent job teaching us about Italian history, geography, and culture. And he was very kind and really funny! At Pompeii, we joined a local guide who was fantastic. We were so glad that we did a guided tour rather than trying to use an audio guide to guide ourselves. Pompeii was fascinating, and our entire group really enjoyed learning about it. Then, we went to lunch at a local vineyard and farm. They were WONDERFUL with our sons’ food allergies. Very knowledgeable and helpful! The food was very fresh and delicious and was a menu that would appeal to many people. We loved the wine and wine vinegar and ordered some of both to be shipped home as souvenirs. Next, we went to the Naples. Nari showed us around and taught us about a lot of history of the local area. This time was flexible, and we had lots of options about how we would like to spend that time. We were all exhausted on the ride back to Rome and had a relaxing ride. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Excellent!!!!! Our your guide Giuseppe and driver Luigi were just fantastic. We are a family of 5 and were picked up right outside our hotel on time. A private minivan and just us so the whole experience was exclusive. Giuseppe was so knowledgeable and explained everything so well and also took good care of us. We got the Nepolitan pizza and then he took us to the beach and we enjoyed the pizza on the beach..... what a wonderful experience. Also the lunch at the Russo family winery was delicious and we enjoyed a good view of Mt. Vesuvius. Tried the wines and even bought some. If you are in a limbo please do this..... totally worth the price !!!! Can say this was the highlight trip of our Roma trip. 10 stars for Giuseppe and Luigi!!!!!

The trip to Pompeii is so well worth it especially upon entering the city you see all the devastation. Pillars, Columns, big buildings, rich city buried of volcanic ash.
