Positive experience with a great team. - Our tour of Pompeii and Vesuvius was fantastic! Elena brought Pompeii to life with her informative and humorous guiding style, perfectly blending history and fun. Thanks to Gaetano for his organization and to Isuru for safely driving us up to Vesuvius. The "30-minute walk" to the summit was a challenge in the heat, but the views from the top were worth it. The pizza lunch afterward was delicious, and the timing was spot on. Overall, a wonderful experience with a great team; highly recommended!

Awesome trip to Vesuvius and Pompeii - Maddy and Enzo were perfect hosts. They made the trip informative and fun. Enzo’s driving was excellent leaving from Sorrento to Vesuvius and then Pompeii. Maddy’s knowledge, personality and enthusiasm added to the experience. I would book with them again.

Mamma Mia Vesuvius and Pompeii! - This was a terrific way to see both Vesuvius and Pompeii. Our tour guide at Pompeii, Bernadette, was a joy. Gaetano, our main guide was terrific with his beautiful smile and multiple languages. And Pasquale got us everywhere safely and shared his amazing singing voice with us on our journey home. Thanks to all for a wonderful day.

Memorable experience on the trip of a lifetime - Overall great experience. Melonie and Antonio were great getting us from place to place, and made the experience memorable, from comedic jokes, historic facts, to navigating sketchy roads, 10/10 would reserve again!

Top - Was a good tour with enthusiasm and good guidance.
- first the mountain which was nice and a nice climb
What you had to walk through
- pizza was Okay not the best I've had but he was fine after so intensive climb.
Nice surprise in between
- Pompeii I found too short would have liked to see more there
Surprise time I would have preferred in Pompeii but this is personal preference.
Recommended if you want to see everything
Thank you martina

Amazing experience - The place is beautiful and the tour was managed well.
They took care of all our luggage which was a big plus. The bus was comfortable and the pizza was amazing.
We got only 1 and half hour to climb up the mountain and get back, which I felt was less, 2 hours would be perfect.
Our guide, Maddy was very sweet. Just 1 feedback for her, she should speak more in English as it was a tour taken in English language. Too much of Spanish and little of English, made me lose interest in what she was talking. Rest was all very good.

Misleading “Small Group” Tour and Poor Value for Money - This tour was not what we booked, and we would not have chosen it had we known the actual setup. It was advertised as a small-group activity, but there were 35 people on the bus. For a tour of this size, the price of $130 USD per person is unreasonably high and does not match the experience provided.
At the end, we were given a small €1 souvenir magnet “for the memory of the experience,” which unfortunately did not compensate for the misleading description or the poor value overall.
