Best way to experience Pompeii/Vesuvius! - This was the perfect trip. The guide was very knowledgeable about Pompeii and really brought the history alive. Then, having the opportunity to actually hike up Vesuvius and see the volcano itself was great. The bus was on time and air conditioned, and everything was efficiently run.

A positive, fun, amazing experience - It was a nice experience for all of us. It was nice to see so much history in the city of Naples and around Vesuvius. Our guide (Michele - Mimi) was a very funny and well informed guy. A special shout out goes to him. Thank you for the amazing time.

Guided tour of Vesuvio and pompei. -English - A brief overview of the trip and my thoughts. Trip to pompei was excellent. Tour guide very charasmatic and knowledgeable. Air-conditioned vehicle throughout the journey with a great driver. Full guided tour through the pompei archaeological site. Roberta was a very helpful tour guide and even braved a storm with us as we explored pompei in torrential rain, thunder, and lightning. 1 hour break for lunch at the pompei site. There is an optional travel deal for lunch, which is 18 euros for a set starter, a choice of mains, and a set dessert with a choice of soft drink (While this is optional, it is likely the best price you will get in the area). After lunch, vesuvius was a short trip away by an air-conditioned coach. They drop you off at 1000 meters and let you scale the last 300 yourself in your own time. You have approximately an hour and 30 minutes to scale the top while visiting trinket shops on your way. Mostly steep ramps and a few stairs no hiking experience needed. It is an easy enough walk for anyone in good health. At the summit, you will find a small bar where you can do lemon/mellonchello shots while overlooking italy from above. Overall, I would highly recommend it is a great option for English speaking travellers. Well worth the price. Highly recommend. PS- We took Roberta's recommendation of Limone in Napoli, and the Mellonchello is delicious :)

Birthday up a volcano - Mimi was amazing! So informative, fun and kept us all together and safe. The walk up the volcano was more challenging than I expected but then again I forgot my trainers 🙄😳😬 , I’ve got arteritis and I’m 56. I felt on top of the world that I did get up. Pompeii was equally marvellous and facinating. I learned so much and understand a lot more about the events that happened 2000 years ago. Thankyou Mimi for the most inspiring day and for singing happy birthday to me. You’re exceptionally good at what you do.

I’ll add that in my opinion, this would not be a great tour for anyone with limited mobility as the walking was strenuous at times.

Amazing experience at Pompeii and Vesuvius - Great experience, both at Pompeii as well as Mt Vesuvius. Roberta was an excellent guide and a huge resource of information given her Archeologist background. The transport was great and Mario’s driving was impeccable in the winding roads leading up the Vesuvius road. I
