Wonderful tour! - Our family of 8 did this tour during our 10-day stay in Italy and I highly recommend it for families with young adults and teenagers! The guide, Max, and our driver were fantastic. Our guide in Pompeii was also excellent and very informative. The company HP travel provided excellent customer service in setting up the tour with our travel agent to accommodate a more convenient pickup for our group. While it was not an exhaustive tour of Pompeii, it was enough to provide a nice overview which was perfect for a day when the weather was scorching hot. The air-conditioned bus and stops at the restaurant were really helpful in providing breaks during the hot, summer day.

Book this trip with these guys and you will NOT be disappointed!!! Loved it 😁😁 - I cannot recommend this tour guide enough....Max was kind, funny, warm and absolutely charming.....he was very attentive and when we told him I needed a gluten free option for lunch he sorted it without fuss or question. The climb up Mount Vesuvius was amazing but I would recommend wearing good trainers and you do need to be generally fit and well. Pompeii was amazing and again the guide was knowledgeable and charming, he had a way of bringing the city back to life. Amazing value for money and you will not be disappointed

Day Trip Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii with Guide - Thank you for a pleasant day, we were picked up as planned and expected from Vico Equense. The minibus took us and the other travellers to Vesuvius and up the roads to the highest parking area and park entrance with no issues. Ylenia our tour guide was interested in the groups identity, was always clear on timings and made the pizza stop go smoothly and then onto the tour into Pompeii - again clear on planning and who our guide was and how it was going to work. Happy to recommend

Awesome trip but very rushed as too much for 1 day - This was a great day out, but everything was very rushed with not enough time to enjoy things. We found it stressful having to do things with a time limit that was not sufficient. By the time we got to the summit of vesuvius we had 10 minutes there before we had to turn back. Then we only had 1 hour 45 minutes in pompei, the tour guide talked for ages about uninteresting things (she talked for 10 minutes about 1 lead pipe) so we left the group to try and make the most of the time. We were not given a map so ended up rushing around using our phones for guidance. My daughter fell over and hurt herself because we were rushing so much. We have arranged another trip to pompei so we can have more time there and explore it properly without the stress. If you are here to visit these 2 places I recommend you book it as 2 trips on separate days so you can truly enjoy these amazing places without being rushed and stressed.
