Traveler reviews
Seeing the ruins was...
Seeing the ruins was awesome, but very disappointed our guide max did not show us the theater, which was a main attraction. We were too tired after 2 hours to go all the way back to try to find it.
Good outward travel
Trip out was good as had private transport but had 6 hours instead of expected 4 and was bussed back with lots of other people and the return journey was quite late so we were worried we had been forgotten. Would do by taxi or train next time
Highly recommend
The driver met us right at the cruise port (holding up a sign with our name) and brought us in an air-conditioned van to Pompeii. He was very punctual (actually a little early) with excellent customer service, as he explained the sights as we were driving. Another driver picked us up about 4 hours later, which was the perfect amount of time to spend in Pompeii as well as have time for lunch. Highly recommend this transfer!
