Don't let the rain stop you, this is well worth it. - Don't let the rain stop you, this is well worth it. Thank you to a great tour guide and the awesome shuttle driver. The shuttle bus was comfy and warm, lunch was yummy, and the toilet-stop to stretch was much appreciated. The tour of the Pompei ruins was amazing and our guide was knowledgeable. The stop at the Limoncello store was great and then into Sorrento. The rain was so accommodating and stopped for us in Sorrento so we could quickly walk about the town. Beautiful coastal sites and tasty gelato -- perfect day!

A true history lesson - A day packed with history, adventure, and great food! Pompeii’s ruins were captivating, and standing on the edge of the Vesuvius crater was just surreal. The lunch was hearty and authentic. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Rome!

Vesuvian thrills - Such an incredible experience! Walking through Pompeii was like being in a different era. Climbing Vesuvius was a thrill, and the traditional lunch afterward was the perfect reward. A day well spent!

Experience to do at least once - The tour to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius from Rome was really great. The transfer was comfortable and took us directly to Pompeii, where we had a very prepared and passionate Guide. The ruins of Pompeii are amazing and walking through the ancient streets made us feel like we had gone back in time. After Pompeii, we climbed Vesuvius. The view from the top was breathtaking, with spectacular views of the countryside and the Gulf of Naples. The walk to the crater was interesting and the Guide explained the history of the volcano and its eruptions.

Not quite as planned but still good - The tour of Pompeii was excellent! Our onsite tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought it to life. Lunch was nice. Unfortunately, when we got to the top of Vesuvius, they had closed the park due to extreme fog. Our trip guide did his best to make up for that by taking us to the incredibly charming city of Sorrento. But that took us quite a bit out of our way and caused us to return hours later than the trip was scheduled to end. Next time, the tour guide should take a poll of trip attendees to see what they want to do if a part of the trip doesn’t go as planned. We all would’ve been fine just going back to Rome after Vesuvius. Still, he tried to give us a good time, and we appreciate that. The bus was comfortable and our bus driver was amazing!

Pompeii - This was the highlight of our vacation. We are on our trip with our grandchildren that can not be replaced and you have ruined it! The tour bus did not arrive and we discovered much later with no notification that the tour was moved to the next day! We are international travelers on a fixed schedule! We had other tours scheduled! You ‘re tour should be banned from Viator ! You totally ruined our vacation with lots of money and time involved!
