Much less than expected.
First of all we booked a 9:00 AM small group (8 people) tour. What we got was a tour time change to 10:00 AM which caused us to miss another tour we had booked. When we were finally picked up about 20 minutes late we stopped at several more stops to pick up additional people. When we finally got to the tour destination we were over an hour late and were grouped together with 25 others. The tour guide's English was not very good and he did not use any hearing enhancement device (although the guide company lied about that fact to Trip Advisor when I tried to get a partial refund). I believe the guide was knowledgeable about Pompeii but between the lack of hearing enhancement and the poor English we didn't get much out of the tour. It was a very HOT day and the tour guide did not provide any water like many other tours we have been on. I'm not sure if we will go through Trip Advisor in the future because they use independent services and seem to side with them over the customer when issues come up. We have better luck using Tours By Locals.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations.
However, we would like to clarify that the tour booked was a shared group tour, not a private tour. The pick-up time indicated at 9:00 AM refers to the beginning of the pick-up service, as clearly stated in the product description, and not necessarily the exact arrival time at the archaeological site.
As with all shared tours, the route includes several pick-up points for other participants before reaching the destination. Guests who prefer a direct transfer, a fixed schedule, and an experience without other participants are kindly advised to book a private tour.
We are sorry for any misunderstanding, but the service provided corresponds to the option purchased and described at the time of booking.
Thank you for your understanding.

Historical informative and a bit of exercise.
Super experience Marco was a great guide and super informative. Antonio our driver was punctual and took great care of us. He should get a raise just for driving the roads to Mount Vesuvius they are brutal but he drove them like a pro! Be warned though the hike up the mountain is not for couch potato’s.

The difference exists
Perfect organization from the start. The transference arrived on time at the meeting point. Arrived in Pompeii we were greeted in a kind and smiling way by what would have been our guide. All the time no one in our group was distracted, on the contrary, the guide involved us in the story managing to keep high attention on what he explained; very professional and competent he used simple language and understandable for all participants (people who did not know each other and with the presence of 4 school children not older than 12 years).
