Both the driver and guide were energetic and engaged in ensuring we had a quality experience; would highly recommend both.

Giovanni was our driver for the day and he did a great job even when the road to Vesubio is a difficult one. He suggested a great place to eat. We then went to Pompei where Nicoletta took is for a tour. She is very knowledgeable and we had a great visit amid the extraordinary heat!

This is a Bucket List item that is now crossed off. It was made remarkable by the Viatour driver (Lucca) and a kind,respectful, and knowledgeable guide (Barbara). We gave her our direction about what we wanted to see and she made it happen. These things do not always work out, but when they do it is sheer pleasure. Thank you.

<p>We had a separate guide for Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii. Both were very knowledgeable. The guide for Mt. Vesuvius shared several facts with us as we drove to the mountain. This was good, as once we started climbing it would have been difficult to talk. It is a steep hike with loose gravel so have good shoes and water. There are two stops that have snacks and drinks also. We celebrated the climb with lemonciello at the top! Pompeii was very interesting and can't imagine not having a guide to make sense of it all. She was extremely knowledgable and passionate about Pompeii. Both tours included just our family, so very personal.</p>

Abbiamo fatto una bellissima escursione con 2 bambini di 8 anni, in compagnia di Francesco ed Eduardo . I bambini sono stati completamente catturati dalla visita grazie agli interessanti racconti che gli hanno proposto . Posso dire che sono stati educati, simpatici e divertenti

Escursione incredibile al cratere del Vesuvio. Il driver gentilissimo e molto divertente è venuto a prenderci in perfetto orario, nel tragitto verso il Vesuvio ci ha illustrato la storia del vulcano e ci ha intrattenuto con il suo carisma scoppiettante. La visita al cratere ha superato ogni aspettativa, la guida preparatissima ci ha fornito una spiegazione minuziosa, senza mai annoiarci, era palese la passione con la quale svolgeva il suo lavoro. Nel complesso sono molto soddisfatta del servizio fornito, meriterebbero più di 5 stelle!!!!
