Pompeii and mount vesuvias - We had a wonderful trip to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius The guide at Pompeii was so knowledgeable and kept the pace just right for the group- the headsets were also great so that everyone could hear. The lunch and wine tasting was delicious and we made some friends with another English couple and a couple from the Pennsylvania. There was lots of laughter and great conversation. The hike up mountain Vesuvius was a fab way to walk off the lunch and views were stunning over the Naples Bay As a last treat we had some Limoncello tasting and this was also a great addition to the day. I would highly recommend this trip. Rosie Lee

Pompei, Mt Vesuvius with winery lunch - Thank you so much we had the best day. The pick up and drop off closer to our hotel was really appreciated and the day was great. Bus was comfortable and Michel was a very good driver! And fun!! Paula gave us great information along the way as did the guide at Pompey. Lunch was great and a good break, the food and wine was lovely! Enjoyed Mt Vesuvius and the detail provided. And the unexpected gem at the end of the day stopping at the Limoncello shop was a lot of fun, really enjoyed it all! Well done and thank you

Fun packed day - We had a fantastic day tour to Pompei and Mount Vesuvius. Everything went smoothly. The coach driver made us feel very safe on the crazy Italian roads and the tour guides were friendly and informative. The lunch stop and wine tasting was an added bonus with decent local food and good wine. Timings were just right and I’d highly recommend this tour.

Great must do experience - Excellent trip, well organized with great driver and host. There was no hotel pickup but actually this was a good thing as we didn’t waste time driving from hotel to hotel the bus drove directly to Pompeii at 8am. Didn’t feel rushed at any point.

Fantastic experience! - I cannot thank Mikhail our bus driver and Poala our host enough for their attentiveness of the group. We had an incredible time doing more than we even expected with not only visiting pompeii and climbing Mt Vesuvius, but also wine tasting, lunch, limoncello tasting and watching how seashell jewelry was made. There are a lot of experiences to choose from but I highly recommend this one !

Great day - Thank you to Paula, Annalisa & our driver Mario for a fantastic day. The tour of Pompeii was very informative, followed by a lovely lunch and wine and the winery & restaurant. It was too cloudy at the very top of mount Vesuvius to see much but still got some lovely views on the way up. Would recommend this excursion 🙂

Amazing experience at Pompeii & Vesuvius. - We had a wonderful day! Both Paola and Micheal the driver were excellent hosts. Everything was taken care of for us. Our guide at Pompeii was also fantastic and very knowledgable and good company. We enjoyed the lunch immensely and were blown away by the service and quality of food and wine we were served. The visits to the cameo factory and the limoncello stop were an excellent way to break up the day. Please pass on our thanks to both Paola and Micheal for making our time on the peninsula very memorable. Excellent value for money and top quality customer care. We were also very appreciative of the contact messages from you as we moved to wards the excursion day. Grazie Mille!

Great day at Pompeii! And Vesuvius! - Very, very good today. Paula was excellent! Guide at Pompeii was also excellent. The driver, Michaelo, was funny and a fantastic driver. Vineyard stop, very good. We ordered wine to be delivered home. Vesuvius stop was good, but wet. Can you change the weather? Ha ha. Was so special to hike to rim of Vesuvius with my son on Mothers Day. My husband napped on the bus while we hiked. Something for everyone. Truly, a great excursion. Thank you!

Good day out - Pompeii was very busy. Whilst the guide was clearly knowledgable the group was personally too large for me. The radio kept cutting out as we were too far away from her and by the time we got to the area she was talking about she was talking about something else so we didn't know what we were looking at. I would have liked to feel a bit more of the drama of the site but again this is just a personal preference. The few minutes at the brooch museum was ok to get use of the free toilets. Lunch at the vineyard was basic but adequate. Vesuvius views are amazing. Paths are all loose gravel and quite steep so not for the less mobile. Thought we were getting a guide for Vesuvius but just walked on our own. the stop at Peters lemon shop on the way back was very entertaining. Good value trip would just have preferred a smaller group to go round Pompeii. Hotel pick up was not an option for this trip but when we realised that we had passed our hotel on the way out of Sorrento they were accommodating in dropping us back at the village where our hotel was rather than us having to pass it and walk 35 minutes back.
