Everything was so well organised, and we knew what we were doing at all times. The train to and from Herculaneum was easy to navigate - there was a train manager on board that helped when we didn't know what to do. The walk from the station to the site was downhill, and very easy to find. The tour guide was knowledgable and friendly - made us really feel what it was like to have been in Herculaneum at the time of the infamous eruption. Getting back was easy - retrace our steps to the station, hop on the train, and back to Sorrento. Great day - amazing site - definitely recommend!
An unforgettable excursion to Pompeii and Vesuvius
Our excursion to Pompeii and Vesuvius was a real highlight of our trip - a perfect combination of impressive history, breathtaking nature and warm company.
The guided tour of Pompeii with Vincente was simply fantastic. He guided us through the fascinating ruins of the ancient city with a great deal of passion and an enormous wealth of knowledge. You could feel his passion for history in every explanation. Vincente managed to bring times long past to life - exciting, understandable and always with a smile.
After a short drive, we continued on to Vesuvius. Here, too, we were well accompanied - tour guide Mimi delighted us with exciting facts about the volcano. Her stories were informative, entertaining and gave us a great insight into the nature and history of the region. Once we reached the top, we were rewarded with a spectacular view over Naples - simply breathtaking!
A big compliment also goes to our coach driver Gigi. He drove us through tight bends and the sometimes challenging road traffic with absolute calm, aplomb and a safe driving style. Thanks to him, we felt completely at ease and safe during the entire trip.
All in all, this day was perfectly organized and will remain in our memories for a long time to come. Many thanks to Vincente, Mimi and Gigi - you made this trip something very special!

Our tour guide for Pompeii was great! She gave us so much information and you can tell she had a passion for the site. Merica pur coordinator and guide to the site was fun and kept us all in order. I would definitely recommend this trip.
The tour was great with a nice guide, swimming and a boat tour around the island.
Especially great is the swimming from the tour boat that takes you around the island.
If you like nature rather than shopping, I recommend to walk to the natural arch and then continue the walking tour around the island with great views.
Until Headout can get their act together and correct their website that misrepresents the time, which they have not done despite me asking many times, you should not believe their times. Tour starts at 7:40 AM at the port of Sorrento and ends at 16:45 at the port of Sorrento.
The Sorrento walking tour and food tasting experience was a great way to start our holiday in Sorrento. Enabling us to get our bearings quickly and see things a bit off the beaten track with some good food tastings thrown in. Marieliu our guide was lovely with great knowledge as a native to Sorrento. Perfect thank you
