It’s comprehensive. Very educational. It’s like walking through history. You can really relate to the people who originally lived in these ancient cities.
Amadeu rocks!
Pompeii and Herculaneum are rich and fascinating sites. It takes a skilled guide to truly bring them to life. Thank you, Amadeu for your deep knowledge and genuine enthusiasm— you made this an exceptional tour.

It is a great way to visit both places in a day and try to draw comparisons between the two. The archeologist was very knowledgeable.
Amazing destination, well organized, meh guide
Pompeii and particularly Herculaneum were amazing themselves. I think doing both in one day is a good idea, because they are a bit different and complementary. I was pleased by the meeting and pick up and departure. That was well organized from this trip. The Shuttle itself was nice and the group was 16 people. Our guide, however, well knowledgeable did not seem very enthusiastic or energetic. He acted like he had done 1 million of these tours before and seemed to have lost the magic of the places we were visiting. I felt a little bit rushed, but I don’t know if it was because the day is packed or because he was rushing us and didn’t want to linger. It was helpful to have an earphone to listen to that guy. I just said that he didn’t have to yell and we didn’t have to get close in, except the quality of the earphone was not as good as a different walking tour I had taken on the previous day.
