Must see..just prepare for crowds

The group size is pretty large for such a crowded venue. Tour guide was experienced and knowledgeable. She was an engaging and good storyteller.

How to Approach Customer Relationship Excellence

We left at 9:30 from Garibaldi and once we arrived in Vesuvius, we were told that this was not possible. We were made to wait and wait by a view a tasting stop that pushed to the purchase and then a virtual tour Pompeii without offering us to reimburse us Visit of Pompeii afternoon as planned day very expensive when you know that it is 18€ l entrance of the Pompeii site

Great trip to Pompeii & Sorento

The trip to Pompeii was well worth it. Our guide was very informative, and she was well qualified to answer questions as we made our way. The site was so interesting. The trip to Sorrento was relaxing.

Great tour guide, bad ortanization

Martina was a great guide at Pompeii. Very knowledgeable and she shared the information in a helpful way. The rest of the trip, checking in, getting there and then leaving was a disorganized mess. We were supposed to go to Sorrento but didn’t get to because we were short on time. If they hadn’t been so disorganized we wouldn’t have been short on time. Book another company. Our other Viator tours have been very good. This one was not.

Very disorganized. Our...

Very disorganized. Our skip the line tickets were in a different bus. We booked the full day with Pompeii and then a trip to Sorrento. Due to the disorganization we ended up only having 1 hour in Sorrento with an audio guide that we could not even get to all the places in the one hour time frame. We were looking forward to the time there but we were so rushed and worried about the time that it was stressful. We did enjoy our driver to Sorrento who made sure we got back to the ship with 1/2 hour to spare.
