An intense day, where we saw archaeological and natural wonders! The only regret is that everything is done in a hurry, not even time to take a photo other than while walking, or to strike a pose at the bookshop! Even lunch was taken in less than an hour! As for Vesuvius, we went up in a mini-bus, turned around at the highest point accessible to vehicles and then went back down again... quite frustrating, I must admit!

The tour was great there was a guide on bus that told you a Little about what you were seeing and a bit of history. Only wish we could have stopped at the top of Mount Vesuvius. Tho you do get to stop at an observation spot for a few quick pics. The guide we had at Pompeii was excellent she was very knowledgeable and fun. Also she tried to keep you in the shade as much as possible. The pizza place was alright only problem is drinks weren't included and it's 4 euros for a coke. There then that it was an awesome experience!

Everything was very well organized. The guides were very nice and friendly. The guide in Pompeii was also nice and conveyed the knowledge well. The food was great, but I would have liked them to explain to us what exactly was on the table. On the Versuv we went up by bus and straight back down again. We would have liked to have been able to walk up a bit more. All in all, a very nice trip, as long as you don't mind long (very long) bus rides

Pompei - Naples was my paid trip, instead we stopped in Sorrento for a total of one hour. That was lunch time. We saw nothing of Sorrento. Afterwards we went to Pompeii, 2 hours to see it, which I think was not enough. Why we didn't go to Naples, I didn't get a meaningful answer. The bus driver was nice, drove very well and the guide told us a lot of things on the way. You definitely complain that we were not informed in advance that we were not going to Naples.

Everything is so rushed and we got just an hour at the beach, I expected a bit more time at the beach.
