Had a great morning touring Pompeii with Thomas. He was a great guide, such a shame the headphones were soo quiet but he adapted and took lots of stops to explain the buildings instead. Such an interesting place and glad to have ticked it off my list. I score the pickup only 2* for two main reasons. After a very hot day in Pompeii a nice cold drink is in order, especially for the children but the bus driver wouldn't let us board with any drinks so had to throw in the bin. Bus also threw us around a bit through the port which made it a bit uncomfortable and scary.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We are thrilled to hear that you had a great morning exploring Pompeii with Thomas. His ability to adapt quickly by creating frequent stops so everyone could hear his insights shows his dedication, and we will gladly pass along your compliments to him today! At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the quiet headphones and the frustration during your return transfer. While coach safety protocols generally restrict open beverages to keep vehicles clean and safe, we completely understand how important a cold drink is after a warm day in Pompeii—especially for families traveling with children—and we regret how this situation was handled. We have also shared your feedback regarding driver smoothness with our transport coordinator to ensure a gentler, more comfortable ride through the port area. Thank you for helping us refine our services, and we hope the wonderful memories of Pompeii stay with you for years to come!

Claudia was 10/10 as our guide. She was really amazing. The issues are that this tour picks up all over Naples so we wasted an extra 30 min picking up our final 5 people. Also small group was 22 people on a 22 seater bus with ac that could t keep up with the amount of people on the bus with the heat so excessive outside. Also no leg room for taller people. The lack of sufficient ac and extra time picking up the group really affected my experience. Pompeii and the tour guides and driver were great! But next time I'd do private tour or book one through the cruise line to avoid spending so much extra time with pick ups and drop offs.
Our tour to Pompeii was great. Our guide had lots of knowledge and spoke in depth about the history of Pompeii. The only downside was the extreme heat, but obviously that’s what you get when you visit Italy in the summer. I would recommend this tour but definitely in the cooler seasons.

The tour and both the guides were fantastic. The only reason I have given 4 instead of 5 star is because the paperwork said bottled water would be provided and it was not, sorry. Everything else was perfect 🙂
Grazie per il feedback. Ci scusiamo per la bottiglietta d'acqua non fornita e terremo monitorato il servizio per migliorare. Siamo felici che le guide siano state fantastiche e speriamo di rivedervi presto!
The pickup at the meeting point was done at the exact time by Antonio P. Ruben was our escort and supervisor on the trip and Andrea on-site, our guide, for the tour in French. Thank you all three for your kindness and your professionalism!
Merci ! Nous sommes ravis qu'Antonio, Ruben et Andrea aient fait de votre première expérience un succès. À bientôt !
They picked us up on time and at the right place, they were very kind, and the Spanish-speaking guide was also very nice.
Gracias. Nos alegra que la recogida y la guía hayan sido de vuestro agrado. ¡Hasta la próxima!
