Excellent tour that covered Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius. Great tour guid that was very knowledgeable and patient. Going to the summit of Mt Vesuvius was a great hike.

Pompeii is a great walk through history. Vesuvius was worth the hike! Remarkable views. We also had a nice lunch on the way back to Naples.

Pompeii was an impressive historical site definitely worth visiting. Mt. Vesuvius was also inspiring but the climb was awfully steep and there was no mention, that I can recall, about it being a challenging hike and not walk. Scheduling lunch, especially those of us who had wine, right before going to Mt. Vesuvius was not the smartest thing to do.
Dear, thanks for your review. As a tour operator we have shown all clarity and maximum availability towards you as well as towards all customers, also helping you to fulfill your desire to see Herculaneum, we are really the maximum of availability, so if you had doubt about the excursion we certainly helped her to clarify the points that perhaps were not clear to her (even if everything concerning the tour is indicated in the product description). Regarding the wine issue, as you can see this tour gives you two choices for lunch and when you booked she chose the option with wine tasting but there was also the pizza lunch, so if you didn't want to drink wine you could quietly choose the other option. Finally, on any volcano you go to in the world, you will certainly never be able to get there by car or bus, you will always have to walk a part of it and so it is also for our Vesuvius. Thanking you again for choosing our company, we wish you a good day. Best regards Campania Overland team
