Great Pompeii Experience
Mario was our tour guide for the day in Herculaneum and Pompeii. He was very knowledgeable and ensured our group stayed engaged throughout the day. The transportation was great as well. We recommend this tour!
Herculaneum & Pompei - a must do trip
Fantastic trip of Herculaneum & Pompei. Mario the guide was excellent....really knowledgeable and brought life to the historical story. Definitely a must do trip.
Great tour & excellent guide
We had a great day from start to finish. Both sites were absolutely fascinating and our guide Amedeo, was so knowledgeable. He gave us so much information on both sites, and was very thoughtful about comfort breaks. It definitively wouldn’t have been the same if we had gone alone. Would totally recommend the tour.
Highly Recommend Amedeo!
Well it was a very hot day, Amedeo was continuously finding shady spots and ensuring we knew where to get water! From the meeting point to the drop off point in Sorrento, we were well taken care of. He was extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about sharing his expertise about Herculaneum and Pompeii with us! Thank you for a great tour!.
A long day, but worth it.
While I'm very glad to have finally seen Pompeii and Herculaneum, this tour felt like a long march in two parts, maybe because of the extreme heat. Our guide Leana was very informative and kept us on schedule. I was particularly grateful for the maps she handed out so I could study them later, remembering in an air conditioned room most of what we had seen. I highly recommend reading the book Lost Voices of Pompei by Jess Venner before taking the tour. It makes the place come alive when you see it.
