Fantastic trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum from Napoli. Giuseppe was amazing, full of energy and made us all feel really welcome on the trip. Dario was a great driver (I think you have to be very skilled to drive in this area and Dario handled the bus brilliantly). Antonio, our tour guide for Pompeii was extremely informative and obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about it. We (as a group collective) were all delighted when it was announced he would also be our guide for Herculaneum. Highly recommended trip!

The Pompeii guide really helped put us back 2,000 years to the life of Pompeii before the mountain blew freezing the city in time. Both the guide (Alex I think) ànd the driver that took us to own there and back filled us with interesting info.

A fantastic tour guide that took us to the venues, followed by a knowledgeable lady showing us around Pompeii. We felt really looked after and would highly recommend it.

Picked up promptly and transported to Pompeii. Unfortunately the first hour was marred by an employees strike on site, but we were let into the main site later. I could have done with a couple of more hours at Pompeii and at least one more at Herculaneum. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The lunch was basic but ok.

Great day out seeing both the amazing sites. Tour guide & driver were great, lunch (pizza) too big even for a fat guy like me! We could have spent much longer at Pompeii but just means we’ll have to go back 😂😜

Viator were great to book with. We were concerned about our pick up as the time and location wasn't what we had booked but after contacting them they confirmed our pick up and they were brilliantkeepingus updated with how to get the pick up point ect. Our tour guide in Pompeii was excellent and clearly loved his job. Pompeii was fascinating. Its a huge place but our guide made sure for the amount of time we spent there we got to see the important parts. We were a little concerned about the lunch after reading all the bad reviews but lunch was enjoyable and hot. Our pizza was huge. We didn't leave feeling hungry at all. It wasn't alacart but hot filling and tasty none the less.We had the audio guide in Herculaneum as we were the only 2 English speaking visitors on our mini bus. We didn't really use it as they were doing some repairs and the exit and entrance was different so we were doing the tour backwards which was kind of confusing so we just did our own thing and I think we saw far more than we would have with a guide. We both wished we could have had a little longer at both destinations as the time we got in both locations flew. The sign of a good day out I guess and its always a good excuse to return.

It was a lot to pack into one day and for that reason, the time in Pompeii seemed a little rushed (but to be fair we knew that this might be a problem). Pompeii is amazing and it was good to visit in the Winter months when it is not so hot and there are fewer tourists. The lunch at midday was excellent: salad, a choice of Spaghetti Bolognaise or Marguerita Pizza and a sorbet. We then went to Herculaneum, which is a lot smaller than Pompeii but, again, we were very rushed for time and did not see everything we might have wanted to. However, we certainly got a good feel for both places and although we were exhausted by the end of this 'full on' day, it had been enjoyable and informative. My only issue with the trip is that the small coach we were driven in clearly had an problem with the exhaust and we were choaked by unpleasant exhaust fumes in the vehicle for the entire journey. Not so good!

This is a great tour! Easy registration, on time pickup, great lunch and best of all a very knowledgeable tour guide. She explained very well, clearly and very patient. Highly recommended.
