Time travel back 2000 years in the shadow of Vesuvius - Our tour guide, Raphael "as in the archangel"...his reference not ours LOL was not only extremely knowledgable of Pompeii and Herculaneum history but wove wonderful humor into his factual provisions. Tour walked at a nice pace especially considering the brutal heat we experienced at the time. He also secured tables at a lovely restaurant for lunch prior to our Pompeii tour. We had a wonderful small group of people which allowed for a more intimate tour in comparison to other large groups. Transportation was provided in an extremely clean and comfortable van with AC... shout out to our driver! Meeting location was very convenient in the center of Naples. Highly recommended tour and so glad we chose it.

Lovely tour! - Really lovely tour with Gennaro! We were so well- informed about the herculaneum and pompeii, it was an easy pace, Gennaro knew which interesting bits of history and architecture spoke to the group, and we had a lot of fun looking around these amazing locations with the backdrop of Mt Vesuvius. Suitable for all ages and groups, make sure to wear your walking shoes.
