Was really looking forward to touring Pompeii but this tour company was terrible. The good news is the transportation from the cruise pier was great. The rest was bad news. Very disorganized in getting tour going, too many people assigned to guide (30+), guide could not keep group together and basically ran through exhibitions. So bad we had a number of people leave tour mid way. We have done many tours and this company is by far the worst. Do yourself a favor and find another tour operator.
Dear customer on high season is normal that a guide handle about 30 people. Best regards
Seeing the ruins was awesome, but very disappointed our guide max did not show us the theater, which was a main attraction. We were too tired after 2 hours to go all the way back to try to find it.
Trip out was good as had private transport but had 6 hours instead of expected 4 and was bussed back with lots of other people and the return journey was quite late so we were worried we had been forgotten. Would do by taxi or train next time
The driver met us right at the cruise port (holding up a sign with our name) and brought us in an air-conditioned van to Pompeii. He was very punctual (actually a little early) with excellent customer service, as he explained the sights as we were driving. Another driver picked us up about 4 hours later, which was the perfect amount of time to spend in Pompeii as well as have time for lunch. Highly recommend this transfer!
<p>Fantastic day out, big queue for tickets, faster if you just join a guide plenty touting for business<br/> remember to pick up a map before you enter or its to late once your in</p>
<p>A good tour. A bit long but necessary to appreciate all the variations that the 4 destinations offer. Good driver. Worth doing and worked well with our cruise.</p>
<p>Very professional service clean modern vehicle reasonable price will certainly use viator again rather than ship organised tours saves you an asbsolute fortune</p>
<p>This was a convenient shore-excursion round-trip shared transfer as described, nothing more. Driver was prompt and courteous.</p>
<p>Just a transfer but was good. Pick up location not very conducive for the amount of traffic at Pompeii and I had to call because our drver was late picking us up on return.</p>
<p>This is basically a shuttle service which the company performed as agreed, nothing more. I was there before the ticket office opened and did not line up right away. You should line up for the tickets as soon as you get there.</p>
