Great Tour

Excellent tour – incredibly knowledgeable guides A fantastic day! Our guides, Mario and the guide in Pompeii, were extremely knowledgeable and added so much extra information and detail to the tour. They made the experience both interesting and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour, and I wouldn’t normally suggest taking a guided tour. In reality, you could spend an entire day exploring Pompeii, but this tour gives you a wonderful taste of the highlights and leaves you wanting to return to discover more. Mario’s suggestion for lunch at Varnelli’s Pizza was spot on. Wonderful meal and excellent service. One suggestion for improvement: It would be very helpful if the guides could point out the location of the bathrooms at each stop or location before the tour begins. Knowing where the nearest facilities are would be especially helpful for guests who may need to plan ahead during the day.

Mt Vesuvious dreams up in ash!

Viator neglected to actually make our excursion with the tour operator but continues to send tickets, meeting times and surveys as if they did their job. We lost out on a chance of a lifetime to hike Mt Vesuvious and had to find our own way to get to Pompei.

Great experience

Great experience climbing Vesuvius and having an actual archaeologist show us round Pompeii. She really brought the history to life!
