Great experience of two historic sites - Excellent tour! Our guides, Cynthia and Katarina, were great. Knowledgeable, friendly, efficient. We had a group of over 30 so they split us up so the groups were more manageable. Recommend doing this tour so you see both sites and can compare and understand the differences. It is a lot of walking but not excessive stair climbing and the guides are aware of the groups abilities and adjust as needed.

Lots to see - Great historical overview of both sites. Interesting to learn they were both seaside towns, now miles from the seaside. Lots of interesting information from the guides. Both places were very hot, so take water.

Great day, great guide! - Great day in very hot conditions, expertly managed by our guide Cynthia who looked after us all day. Probably not a trip for very young people but fantastic to see the sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Great trip - awesome tour guide Cinzia - We enjoyed a modern air-conditioned bus with the pick-up directly at the hotel, a marvellous trip down history lane with our witty tourguide Cinzia, who shared her immense knowledge throughout the trip. Especially in Pompeii the „skip the line“ entry was a real advantage. The local lunch was also very tasty. We suggest to bring water, an umbrella or hat for the sun and sun screen. Mille grazie Cinzia, la giornata ci è piaciuta molto, grazie anche al nostro autista fantastico 😊

A nice in a lifetime chance to visit two incredible archeological sites - Visiting both Pompeii and Herculaneum on the same day is definitely worthwhile if you are pressed for time. Our tour group saw the main highlights of both sites over a full day excursion. The guide was very good at Pompeii, but at Herculaneum our group was split into two and I had another guide who was an archaeologist by profession and she was exceptionally good.

Not to be missed - We had a really great day thanks to the knowledge and experience of our guide, Ionica! I don't believe you can do Pompeii or Herculean without a tour guide if you want to fully understand the history behind Vesuvius and the two cities. The lunch stop was really good, nice food and wine included. Two things for consideration... Firstly, it is an early start so be aware of the pick up points, we were a fair distance from the nearest pick up point and it cost us an extra €40 in a taxi to make sure that we'd be there on time! Secondly, make sure you wear appropriate footwear. The roads around the cities are very uneven and could be slippery in places. It's a tour not to be missed, but be prepared for a lot of walking on uneven terrain
