Perfect combination! - A perfect combo. We went in a minibus with an excellent driver who kept the times and was very professional! Herculanum was great and fun to walk up to Vesuvius

Over priced and underwhelmed - Was made out like a great tour but loads was done by the excellent transport of tramvia and tickets which we could of bought. Transport is just shutting from place to place nothing to do with tours.

Mandatory destination - I've only been to Vesuvius: an obligatory destination if you go there, you have to walk a bit towards the crater but then the view makes up for it all!

Beautiful. - Amazing experience! The bus takes you almost to the summit of Vesuvius, leaving only a short walk of about 20 minutes to reach the crater. The path is slightly uphill and gravelly bottomed, but absolutely feasible with a pair of comfortable shoes. Once at the top, the guided tour offers interesting explanations about the history and activity of the volcano, enriching the experience even more. The view is simply spectacular and pays off every step you take to get there!

Great sites and a nice driver. - We were disappointed to discover that our time at Herculanium was restricted to 2 hours rather than the advertised 3.

Unorganized - The individual places were great, but I did not like the organization of Tramvia. It felt like too much was on the transportation service’s plate.

Disappointing start - The meeting arrangements were poor, it is a rough area and we had problems being harrased by vagrants, which made for an unpleasant start to the day not what we paid £200 for.

Unreliable dishonest - The tour agency did not show up and cancelled the tour last minute, I was not notified until I asked the hotel to call again. They just asked me to take the bus with printed tickets instead of a group shuttle/bus to those places. No show, crooked.
