Traveler reviews
Pompeii and Herculaneum
It was a very good experience, both in terms of our driver Antonio Carola and our guide during both tours (Luca). During the trips, Antonio showed us the most prominent places we passed by. He was also very attentive to everything we needed. He had cold water ready every time we left/returned to the coach, and with the heat, it was greatly appreciated. As for Luca, he was an excellent guide, a historian by profession, which multiplies the content of the explanations by 10. The fact that it is a tour with a small group is a great advantage because it allows for better navigation of the streets in both locations. It is clear that both Antonio and Luca enjoy their work, and that makes the tour a highly recommended experience!
Excellent visit of Pompei and Herculaneum
We had an excellent day visiting Pompei and Herculaneum. Our guides were very knowledgeable and shared their passion of history. The guide accompanying us all day was amazing, thanks Rafaella! And thanks also to our driver
Everything about this...
Everything about this trip was worth the money. Raffi (tour guide) was excellent. The 2 archeologists highlighted things that I would have missed, as well as the detailed explanations about Pompeii (Anna) and herculeanum (Nina). Nina was especially entertaining and enthusiastic! The group being small was excellent and being a solo traveller I was included in comments which is not always the case. Although pricey due to the peak holiday time, it was totally worth it. The only "downside" was the extreme heat! - the air-conditioned bus was a welcome break.
Well-organized excursion but could be improved.
The excursion itself was well-organized, but with some caveats: they advertise as a small group trip, maximum 14 people, but on the Pompeii tour, there were 21 of us in the Spanish group. They gave us a break to eat, but at 11:30; it would be worth it to see Pompeii a bit better, not in such a rush, and eat at a more normal time.
Impressive
The tour is very good, we had Diana as a guide in Herculaneum and she was fantastic in Pompeii, however we would have liked to have more free time to be able to visit it in addition to having the explanation, despite that a very good experience! Thank you!!
