Again, a very expensive tour, so I will try to help you decide if it is worth it for you. We started our day at Herculaneum, which is on the opposite side of Vesuvius to Pompeii. It opens half an hour earlier than Pompeii. We were dismayed to shell out another 18 euros each to enter the park. The ruins here are MUCH better preserved than Pompeii, with many mosaics and frescoes remaining intact. We had 2 hours here, which was adequate. We watched documentaries on YouTube to orient ourselves and save another 150 euros not having to hire a guide. Then off to Pompeii to shell out another entrance fee. The area you can explore now is so vast that you cannot see it in one day. Again, we researched the points of interest for us and saw them. We made the most of our time there, but you are likely to feel that you want more. Again, YouTube was informative and saved us from another exorbitant guide fee. Then it was off to the Cantina Del Vesuvius for lunch and wine tasting. The description of this experience is pretty flowery in the outline...everything happens at just one place. You are greeted with a glass of white, get a brief tour of the vineyard and wine-making area, then are seated for lunch. While it isn't a restaurant, they serve a wonderful antipasto board, followed by spaghetti and dessert, accompanied by their own olive oil. You get the other 4 wine tastings during the meal. The service was excellent. Please note though that this is your last stop. Unfortunately, Vesuvius was clouded over so we didn't get a view of it, nor the islands off the coast. What ultimately made me give this a 5 star rating was Alfonso -- he is AWESOME. Very knowledgeable about all things in the region, he gives you an impassioned discourse on many topics as you are driving between places. He even contacted us the day before to verify everything. All in all, a wonderful but very expensive tour.

Pompeii was amazing, highly recommend getting a guide to show you around site. The winery is in a gorgeous location and lunch was enjoyable.

This was a day we will never forget. We began at Vesuvius where we climbed to the crater. Spectacular views. From there we had an amazing wine tasting/lunch/tour, followed by a trip to Pompeii. Our driver, Alberto, was kind, funny, and a good driver. Angela and Serafino from the winery were utterly delightful. A wonderful day.

Trip only allows 2 hours at Pompeii, was very busy, took half an hour to get ticket, queuing for tickets difficult unless you opt for a guide. No maps on display, didn't find them until we were leaving. With so many guided tours you can't get to the best sites as again so busy, often blocking your passage through and was ticked off twice by rude guides when trying to get through. Think they are trying to make it difficult to go visit without taking a guide. Herculaneum was great and a lot quieter, but still good to see both. Cantina del Vesuvius for lunch was excellent. Our driver was so nice. Overall a great day out.

We had thought that we would get a guide but none came with the excursion. The driver was nice. The winery and lunch were nice.

I would recommend anybody doing this tour to do it in 2 parts, if time allows, do not try and do both together. I would suggest staying longer at the lunch and wine tasting and enjoy the view, food and the wine. .This would allow a separate trip to Pompeii and give more time to explore the ruins.
