Don’t miss out…. - Great day. Thoroughly worth it. Pick up was on time. Roberto was excellent, much fun had with the driver, good local knowledge. Winery was outstanding, fresh and the meloncello was a must. The meal divine. Plus they can ship! The horse riding was great gentle trail ride across Vesuvius and the vineyard. Alexia’s English was superb and she was very knowledgeable about the area and passionate about the horses.

Perfect day trip to Pompeii & Vesuvius! - Wonderful combination experience for our day trip to Pompeii! The tour guide at Pompeii was a treasure trove of fun facts about the city, and kept our teenager and 10 year old engaged throughout the tour. The trip to the vineyard afterward was amazing - we all enjoyed the wine tasting and accompanying charcuterie and pasta, and they even served my son "Coke 2024 Vintage" in his wine glass. The horseback riding at the end was amazing as well, although my son had an allergic reaction to the horses or something else in nature...but that said, the instructor was extremely attentive and helpful while we got him back to address it. Beautiful experience overall, and highly recommend doing the combo of Pompeii + vineyard/horses!

- We really enjoyed our lunch and horse ride around the wine country of Vesuvius. Lunch on the vineyard was great and Anthony did a great job explaining the different varieties and techniques used to produce their amazing wines. Seeing the views into Naples and up to Vesuvius from a horse is definitely worth it! The guide was great and the horses were lovely and so well behaved! Thanks TASTETHE EXPERIENCE!

Visiting Pompei, riding... - Visiting Pompei, riding horses on Mt. Vesuvius and enjoying local wine and a Chef's meal for lunch is exactly what you should do when you visit Italy. This was a professional and fun tour. The operators were efficient and made our day wonderful.

Seamless and well presented - This was a great trip with lots of great elements. Each part was a little sample, rather than a full immersion, so it is great for people after a mix of things. We had a heatwave so it worked perfectly. The wine tasting was delicious but not really set up for kids… but the adults enjoyed it!

Half the group didn't want to ride horses but EVERYONE said it was the best part of the day! - One of the best ways to see Naples! Several people in my group gave me a hard time about riding a horse, but later they told me it was one of the best parts of the day. Sofia was amazing in helping us plan. We were concerned about getting back to our cruise ship in time, so she offered to arrange a private driver at a reasonable cost and we did the horseback riding first, then joined the others for the rest of the tour. It worked out perfectly! (TIP: our driver held up a sign with "Taste the Experience" instead of our name, so there was a little bit of confusion in meeting.) The horses were at a private riding school, and the people there were so friendly and helpful. My daughter was very nervous about riding a horse and one of the workers walked with her the entire way. Our tour guide in Pompeii was AMAZING. She's a third generation local, and her passion for the place was unmatched. She gave us lots of interesting facts and made sure we stayed hydrated in the heat. Afterwards, we were driven to the beautiful winery, where we had a sommelier explain the wines and had a delicious lunch. The kids in the group had soft drinks. We bought a case of wine (they ship for free!) and enjoyed the view of Mt. Vesuvius in the background.

Best day ever! - This is the best day ever! There was something for everyone in our family. Horseback riding for our 11 year old, wine tasting for our adult child and us, and a wonderful history lesson for all of us with Teresa (an archeologist). The food was amazing and the scenery was gorgeous. Best day ever!
