- Pompeii Archaeological Park - Pick-up at the hotel/station/port and transfer to Pompeii to explore one of the most fascinating places of Naples environs by the narration of a professional guide. In roman time Pompei was a rich and populated town, full of private and public buildings. On a summer’s day in 79 A.D, the entire town and around 20000 of its inhabitants were buried under tons of ash and pumice because of a violent explosion of Mt Vesuvius. A shower of very fine ash was deposited everywhere to a depth of more than six meters, enveloping everything and adhering to the forms of the bodies and of their clothes. Almost 2.000 years later, you have the opportunity to discover the everyday life of the Imperial Age and imagine the panic of the people before the city was so disastrously buried. In a two hours walking tour, your guide will show you fascinating places such as The Forum, Thermal Baths, Lupanare and so on. This is a trip not to be missed for any visitor to this region of Italy.

Highly recommend - This tour was a highlight of our stay in Salerno and we chose a half day tour because it fit us better. On reflection, we would not see Pompeii without a guide! Transfer went smoothly and our guide Lisa was very clear in her communication. Finally, by visiting in December the weather was comfortable and our group size only 8!
Another great experience via Viatour.

They picked us up from a... - They picked us up from a place close to the hotel and drove us to Pompeii. There, we had a 2-hour tour with someone who has a lot of knowledge about the place. There were a lot of interesting details about Pompeii. We got to see the typical street, the House of the Lovers, the baths, and the forum. Overall, it was a short tour, but it included everything you need to see if you don’t have time to spend a whole day. Everyone was very professional. I would recommend this tour 100%.

Step Back In Time - As a solo traveler on this trip, I really appreciated the driver picking me up at the place I was staying. Everything was done in an organized, professional manner. The guide at Pompeii was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor about her. She also kept watch over her flick, and didn’t lose any of us.

Adequate but chaotic Experience - The driver was on time at the designated pickup. He drove competently but very slowly to the destination. He provided no verbal information at all. At the destination we were met by another person who escorted us to the ticketing area for Pompeii then announced that he was not our guide and that our guide would arrive at 11:00 am and he gave us her name. There were six of us in our group. It turned out to be 33 in the tour group and getting the group together was extremely chaotic. The tour itself was great but the tour guide did not keep track of people and we lost her a couple of times. At the end of the tour finding our ride back to Salerno was equally chaotic and time-consuming (1/2 hour). We had the same driver, driving the same speed in total silence all the way back. Overall an expensive bus service particularly since entrance fees for Pompeii were free that day. No refund offered.

Much of this tour is... - Much of this tour is spent waiting such as for late comers, people going to the restroom and waiting for other tours to move onto other areas of interest. The guide was interesting enough, but we were very limited in what we could see due to the business of multiple groups booked on the day. In hindsight, it would be better to move through the site individually as there is a greater opportunity to see more.
A real low point was the tour operator asking if we wanted to use the restroom (for a fee of 50 cents) before beginning the actual tour. The toilets were run by rude people and the toilet facilities were dirty. Please note there are free toilets within the Pompeii site.
The highlight of the tour was the actual bus ride from Salerno to Pompeii.

Disappointing tour of Pompeii - After looking forward to experiencing Pompeii, I was very disappointed. We were supposed to have an English speaking guide. We were assigned Susie. She was very difficult to understand. She had a very heavy Italian accent. On many occasions she was far ahead of the group that her microphone cut out as if she was out of range.
The group was too large. She walked fast and didn’t wait. There were two people with canes that had some difficulty even staying with the group.
That being said, it was very disappointing. You book these tours so that you are able to learn from your guide. Unfortunately that did not happen.

Disappointed in Viatour this time. - Pompeii is awesome. Had difficulty understanding guide, although she did very well. Group was large. Was difficult to find the van that picked us up because signage was nonexistent.

Way too many people in... - Way too many people in group, approx 40. Site was very busy and spent most of tour trying to not get separated from group. Earpiece speaker only worked when Guide was within about 50 feet and in line of site. Whenever she went around a corner or distance was too much audio dropped out. She would be pointing out things but had no idea what they were due to these issues. Confusion after tour as we were not given correct info to meet driver.
