Great day out. - Really enjoyed this tour. The weather was perfect and the guide Roberta very knowledgeable. Pompei is such an amazing place. We didn’t have time to see all of it as such a large place but preferred to have a good guide tell us about the more interesting parts. We actually went to Herculaneum so would recommend to do that one too. Walk up Vesuvius was good. We managed ok but could be difficult for some. Can see good views along way and bus ride interesting.

The sights of Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. - Fantastic well organised trip. The guide Danni was very informative. The coach driver Luigi was fearless and brave and the Pompeii tour guide was a character.

INCREDIBLE! Must see if you are in staying in Sorrento - We booked a last minute full day tour of Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius from Sorrento (not Naples), and it was everything we should have hoped it would be. The day was long, but the itinerary was built out went. Air conditioned bus from Sorrento to both locations and just the right amount of time to explore. Lunch was not included but they offer a very affordable pre-fixe menu lunch option. Dani, Francesco, and our driver, Luigi, were all wonderful! I would highly recommend!

Great way to see Pompeii - Great way to see Pompeii as it is much larger than you would anticipate. It was helpful having a historian walk around with you to point certain things out and describe the importance and meaning. Highly recommend.

Checks the box! - The experience was exactly as described in the listing. Quick air-conditioned tour bus ride to Pompeii (~20 minutes) from the central train station in Napoli (we got there via subway with no issues). Tour was led by our guide Roberta whom was very knowledgeable and kept us moving. Pompeii is huge and busy so she changed our route as we hit the crowded areas to ensure we weren’t crammed in often. Definitely wear walking shoes, bring water, and be weary of the summer heat. Lunch was acceptable (18 euros, deal between tour company and restaurant) back at the entry gates following the tour. This whole part (drive, tour, and lunch) took about 5 hours. Then the tour bus takes some windy switchbacks up Mt. Vesuvius before dropping you off at the park gate. It’s a steep incline to the top but there’s a souvenir shop, drinks, and tables on a terrace at the beginning, if you don’t want to climb. The view of the Amalfi Coast, Napoli, and the Mediterranean was well worth it though, in addition to Vesuvius’ crater. Just don’t expect an easy climb, most were huffing and puffing at the top! The whole experience lasted about 8 hours, perfect for an excursion that left us time to nap before dinner. Have fun!

You could do it cheaper, but could you do it as well? Probably not. - Incredibly well organized. Our guide in Pompeii was first rate. The lunch option was fine but not great, it could probably be included in the tour price. If you’re pushed for time in Naples this is a great option.

Confused…Viator as World Tours? - We were at the pickup destination at the Star Hotel Terminus but they left us! It was very chaotic there as there’s no clear sign of the tour group. We didn’t see Viator sign but later found out that most of them were World Tours only to find out that they cater to Viator customers! We found this out when we left for the next tour the next day to Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi Coast. Now that one is a wonderful experience! We booked thru Viator as well for that tour but World Tours picked us up. I am not sure if they changed their name but no one recognized Viator when I showed my voucher when we were leaving for Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius. That left me confused! I like Viator and will continue to be their patron but was clearly disappointed on this one. My sister and I went to see Pompeii on our own because we don’t want to ruin our day by not going anywhere that day. At any rate, I have to leave 1 star on this review as I cannot post this unless I pick a star.
