We had a PHENOMENAL time with Luigi and Anna as our guides for Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius! They were incredibly patient and accommodating with our kids (6 & 10). I can't recommend them enough - the communication was incredible and we would happily book with them again!
Our guide was an archaeologist. He was exciting and passionate. A moment and unforgettable exchanges.
We absolutely LOVED this tour and our entire day in Pompeii! Our driver, Luigi, was hands down the BEST! He was personable, funny, knowledgeable and recommended the BEST lunch spot (I Matti Pizzeria). Mareluce was our tour guide in Pompeii and was PHENOMENAL! She was incredibly knowledgeable, and kept our kids (7&9) engaged, while sharing all information in a kid-friendly manner. We would absolutely recommend this tour and these two guides to anyone—they made our day in Pompeii one to remember!
We had a great experience in Naples using this tour company. Our driver Luca took us up the slopes of Vesuvius and back down to the ruins of Pompeii quickly and safely. We were met at Pompeii by Mena, who was so knowledgeable and was such a lovely person. We truly enjoyed our tour of the ruins with her. Well before our tour we were properly communicated with by the company so there was no worry or doubt. I would highly recommend using this company for a day trip of the two major sights in Naples!
This tour was amazing! We had the best time, I highly recommend. And our driver, Giovanni was superb… just wonderful. Giovanni was a safe driver and listened to what we wanted to and made the tour so memorable. Thank you so much Giovanni… when we return to the Naples area, we will definitely book a tour that includes you as the driver! The two activities of the tour were incredible… highly recommend this tour and tour company. You won’t be disappointed!
Both the driver and guide were energetic and engaged in ensuring we had a quality experience; would highly recommend both.
Thanks for your review
Giovanni was our driver for the day and he did a great job even when the road to Vesubio is a difficult one. He suggested a great place to eat. We then went to Pompei where Nicoletta took is for a tour. She is very knowledgeable and we had a great visit amid the extraordinary heat!
We made a beautiful hike with 2 children aged 8, in the company of Francesco and Eduardo. The children were completely captivated by the visit thanks to the interesting stories they proposed. I can say they were polite, funny and funny
Grazie a lei e alla sua splendida famiglia!
Roberto was fantastic! He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip easy and a lot of fun. His English is very good, and he’s super committed to giving you a great tour! 10/10 would recommend him!
Amazing hike to the crater of Vesuvius. The very kind and very funny driver picked us up on time, on the way to Vesuvius he illustrated the history of the volcano and entertained us with his crackling charisma. The visit to the crater exceeded all expectations, the expert guide gave us a detailed explanation, without ever getting bored, it was clear the passion with which he did his work. Overall I am very satisfied with the Service provided, they deserve more than 5 stars!!!!
