Well paced enjoyable trip

Very well paced tour and I am glad we did both sites on the same day.The tour was expertly led by Anna who brought a real enthusiasm and knowledge to her guiding of the group.

An interesting and engaging guide in Michele. Knowledge was disseminated for two hours around Herculanum. Recommended.

Michele is a good guide, who shares his knowledge enthusiastically.

Great tour

A very full day, very informative our guide Gennaro was great and answered any questions lunch spot had plenty of options

A good way to see both sites

We wanted to see both Herculaneum and Pompeii without the transportation hassle. This tour fit the bill as we were picked up/ returned to Naples near the train station. We felt that our guide, Gennaro, was knowledgeable, but I’m not sure he was an archeologist as described. The group was larger than I had hoped, and seemed rushed at times. Overall, I would still recommend because so much would be missed at both sites without a guide.
