Fantastic day out with lots of information

Alassandria was the tour guide and was super friendly and knowledgeable on the drive about the local area. She made sure all was welcome and made the trip/ travel fun. Remmy drove us and insured we were all comfortable and arrive safely on time. The whole day was amazing and would definitely recommend

Visit and good Italian mood 😊

Superb day of visiting with Clemente and his driver Francesco 😊 Whether at Vesuvius or Pompeii, we loved it, we recommend it wholeheartedly 👍

Great tour - highly recommended

This was a great tour. Pick up on time, and our guide, Sheri, was friendly and informative. On arrival at Pompeii, an archaeological guide (Thommas) took us on a two hour tour, covering the essentials (you could visit every day for a week and still not see everything, but this was enough for us). Highly recommend this tour, without a guide you would be standing in queues and missing so much.
