Traveler reviews
Highly recommend!
Incredibly knowledgeable and humorous guide. She used humor to drive her points, thus promoting interest. Her English was on point, although she is fluent in several languages.
Excellent tour, make sure...
Excellent tour, make sure to stay close to your group as it is easy to get lost sometimes. Bring comfortable shoes.
Fabulous trip
Our guide Elisa was absolutely wonderful! She is very knowledgeable and super friendly. Pompeii is amazing and I want to spend more time exploring next time I come to Naples. My only “complaint” is the transportation. Finding our tour driver outside of port security was chaotic- there were 3 ships in port, thousands of people there looking for their drivers, and lots of drivers holding signs with several names listed. On our return, we were grouped with someone coming back to the port. Again, there was over a hundred people following a guide to the bus. The group ended splitting and we at the back of the line had no idea which group to follow.
Wonderful experience
Great experience, learnt so much about Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius as well as highlights in Naples. Truely recommend if you want to take a break from planning everything and just relax as this tour guides you
Naples and Pompeii
With the exception of the cathedral, the city tour lacked places of real interest. The scenery was very nice, but nothing really stood out. That said, the tour of Pompeii was outstanding. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting and historical facts. I could have spent more time there.
