Traveler reviews
Excellent tour from start to finish
Excellent tour. Pickup communication was very precise (which is always a worry) and Nina was there to collect us at least 10 minutes ahead of schedule. Guide at the site, Tommaso, was very knowledgeable which is expected but also took care to ensure the whole group got the most out of the tour in the very very hot weather. Danilo the driver was also on time to collect us so everything went well. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
Will come back in october, 20 and 50 years
Tomaso is to be trusted and was a FANTASTIC guide ;)!
Great guides, but allow longer total time for logistics
Thomas the tour guide was great, really clear English, funny and engaging. The bus travel was comfortable and given free water. The guy who picked us up from bar picnic was great, on time (at the 10 mins prior to departure time as started to be there for) and clearly called for us at the meeting point. Only downside was the travel and logistics took longer than was stated, as our original start time was moved from 1:30pm to 10:30am, and that was to be able to pick up those who were on the Pompeii tour in the morning, so we ended up having lunch and waiting an hour or so in the Pompeii area, which was good food but unexpected timing. Got back to our original drop off point 3:30pm, so another 2 hours beyond what we thought given the acceleration of the start time. We didn't have anything else planned for the day so was fine, but communication upfront on the expectations re timing should have been clearer.
Tour of Herculaneum
Value for the money is great! Our tour guide Tommoso was amazing 10/10! Made the experience very fun and relatable! A lot of time to see everything! The only thing that was a negative was the pickup experience. We were picked up way earlier than originally booked (2 hours earlier) and then forced to wait around for over an hour and a half in Pompeii to then be bused another 25 minutes to the site. Again our guide while at the site, Tommoso, was amazing and I highly recommend asking for him.
Knowledgeable tour
Tomas was very knowledgeable. He clearly loves what he does and provides passion and balanced with humour throughout.
