Awesome time to Pompei! Both the tour guide, Flavio, and bus driver, Julian, were awesome. Everything was on time, as scheduled and explained very well throughout the day.
Flavio our guide was amazing and very helpful all throughout the trip. Would highly recommend the trip. Overall it was a unique experience. The hike to Vesuvius was the highlight of the trip. Special place with incredible views. Pompei was excellent too but the place is so large we could have used more time (we had 1hr 40 mins with guide). 2 and half hours would have been better.
The tour to Pompeii and mount Vesubius was as absolutely worth it, and it is mainly thanks to the great guide, Eduardo. He truly made it an incredible tour, with a carefully curated narrative throughout the day that transformed a day trip into a deep dive into the soul of Campania region, its history, culture, geography, people and food. All of that in a very engaging and catchy fashion, striking the right balance between “fun” and a satisfying amount of knowledge that fed my nerdy curiosity. The stops along the way were wisely picked, and the guided tour of Pompeii was absolutely fantastic. I always dreamed of visiting Pompeii and Mt. Vesubius, and Eduardo delivered above my expectations. Well done. This day will always stay in my memory as a truly remarkable experience. And every single Euro I paid for this tour was absolutely worth it.
We really enjoyed the day trip to Pompeii and Vesuvius. John was our guide and he was excellent. He was helpful, friendly and had great knowledge of the culture, history and tips for travelling in Rome. I would highly recommend this trip. We travelled as a family with 3 teenagers who enjoyed the bus journey and learning about the history of Pompeii and geography of Vesuvius. An excellent experience.
Great Experience really enjoyed it the guides were very helpful throughout the day especially John .
Great guide Good price Funny Great experience all round
Giovanni , the guide at Pompeii was awesome. Actually from Pompeii and knows the history. Patricia, our guide from start to finish , was clever, funny, also knowledgeable and a great host to spend 6 hours on a bus with. The hike to top of Mt Vesuvius was incredible once you arrived there. Totally worth the effort. The one negative would be the bus ride. The driver was literally all over the road. Couldn’t hold a lane. I thought maybe that was normal , but it wasn’t. But then this same driver easily navigated the difficult drive to Mt Vesuvius. Even with the scratchy bus ride, The trip was 100% worth it.
Really nice tour at a nice pace. The weather was hotter than normal for the time of year and the guide took that into account and made sure everyone was doing OK. Very nice pace and interesting information.
We like it! The guide Paula was very kind. The lunch was excellent. The guide from Pompeii Claudia was also nice
Eduardo was an excellent guide and worked hard to ensure the group was informed and also entertained. The specific guide around the sight (Enzo) was very knowledge and passionate about the Pompeii , not so knowledgable about how to use a microphone (its not use if you dont speak into it) so you had to be close to him to get the full impact of his knowledge (which was excellent). The trip to the top of Vesuvius was spectacular. An excellent day, worth every penny.
