Traveler reviews
Pompeii / Mount Vesuvius
I went on the small group tour in July - Emanuela was our guide. I had to go to the main train station for my pickup, but this was not a problem. I met Emanuela promptly and then boarded the tourist Van. The small group was friendly and helpful to each other - I like the small group tours best! (Worth the extra $) We started the tour in Pompeii. Emanuela introduced us to a separate tour guide to walk the grounds at Pompeii. The Pompeii tour lasted two hours. Pompeii is in incredible to see - The two hour tour of Pompeii was the right amount of time to get a real feel for what took place with the volcano eruption. Pompeii is bigger than your imagination - You have to see this sight to appreciate the amount of excavation that has taken place! Lunch was excellent with the wine tasting! I made it to the top of Mount Vesuvius! The walk is not too difficult - You do need a good pair of walking or hiking shoes! Emanuela is a real nice girl! The driver dod a good job. Memorable Experience for sure!
One of the better tours you will find on Viator!
This is a good tour for the money. Dayana takes care of you throughout the day. The lunch was okay, but well worth the cost. No complaints here. I also hope you get Thomas as your guide in pompeii. He's laid- back and easy to follow, and he's pretty funny at times.
Pompeii, Vesuvius Experience: 5 Stars
Had an amazing time on this whole tour. First, the meeting pick-up was easy. Nadia texted us to verify where we’d get picked up at. The whole process was smooth. Communication during the entire day was great (from where to meet at, in how long, etc.) When we got to Pompeii, we met our tour guide, Diana. We had a group of 10 people, and she was fantastic. Fluent in English, attentive to all the questions we had, and was very personable, even in trying to understand our story and who we are. If you get a tour in Pompeii, ask for Diana. Then for lunch, we went to a restaurant and had a full course meal (app, main course, desert) and wine tasting. Very much worth it. Lastly, hiking Mt. Vesuvius was an adventure. Burns your legs quite a bit and it may be tiring in the moment, but it’s worth it, and sure beats sitting on a plane for hours. Overall, an amazing experience and well worth it. I just wish we had seen Hernaculum, but that wasn’t part of this tour. Something to visit for next time:)
Great Experience
Great tour with Simona and Remigio, saw Pompeii had a great pasta lunch with bruschetta and a lemon cake desert. Finished off with a good hike up Mount Vesuvius (30 minutes up and then it plateaus, 20 minutes down). Tour guide around Pompeii was great as well. Overall, great, safe experience.
Naples
