Me gustaron tanto la puntualidad y las indicaciones de los guías. Deberían mejorar: El Puntí inicial de encuentro en Ramada no está claramente indicado y has de estar atento a los movimientos de los posibles clientes. Por otro lado el tiempo de visita en Pompeya es claramente insuficiente; como mínimo tres horas.

The punctuality, efficiency, and friendliness of the entire team at every site we visited—we got in super fast with no waiting. As soon as we arrived, they gave us our tickets and told us how much time we had (which was plenty). I highly recommend the full tour of the three areas. I think it’s a great investment to see a significant part of Naples; they give you enough time to see absolutely everything and even to buy souvenirs. The vehicles are well-equipped and in good condition—highly recommended from Madrid!!🇪🇸

Nice way to see both Vesuv and Herculaneum. However we did miss a map before visit to Heculaneum, and app on the phone was not reliable and did not function as it should.

The organization was great; the friendly guides always told us exactly when and where to go, and everything went smoothly. The audio guide on the phone in Herculaneum was terrible! We had two different phones, and both kept freezing; we had to scan the QR code again and again, the numbers didn’t match, and worst of all: a computer voice with poor translations and bad pronunciation—meaning poor word stress! It would also have been nice to have a printed map of Herculaneum to hold in our hands. That’s something to improve! Thank you very much, Eva and Klaus Gülker

Driver was very good. Team well organized and cheerful. The sights are amazing. It would have been better to have more than 2 hrs for Pompeii- this felt rushed and more time could have fit in.

We arrived to Naples by cruise ship and booked our Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii day trip about a month in advance. It was AMAZING! The pick up location was easy to get to by metro from the cruise terminal. From there, we hopped on a very comfortable mini bus to Pompeii. The tour includes an audioguide but you have the opportunity to upgrade to a live guide. We prefer exploring on our own and found the audioguide perfect for our needs. We were given 3 hours to explore Pompeii and then hopped on a coach bus to travel to Vesuvius. The hike up was steep but well worth the phenomenal views. Overall, I was very impressed with the organization of Around Vesuvio tour company. They made sure every passenger was accounted for every time we changed locations. We arrived back in Naples with 3 hours to return to the port. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A unique adventure awaits as you visit two UNESCO World Heritage marvels in one day: Mount Vesuvius and either Herculaneum or Pompeii.

Round-trip transfers from Naples and skip-the-line access ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit to these iconic historical sites.

Feel the excitement of hiking up the Vesuvian crater with a volcanological guide and take in breathtaking panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples.

Or, explore Pompeii, a city once bustling with everything from public baths to markets and even brothels, a vivid snapshot of ancient life.

Uncover the wonders of Roman history at Herculaneum, where you’ll find exquisitely preserved relics and ancient scrolls at the Villa dei Papyri.

It was nice to see 3 places in 1 day, but I wish I knew there wouldn't be places to eat. If I'd known ahead of time, I would have brought some food. Also, the audioguide for Herculaneum was terrible. The code had to be rescanned multiple times to keep working and the numbers didn't match up to the appropriate areas.

Visitting times at the locations were too short to enjoy really. Chaotic transport. And after all, way too expensive for what it was: payed 91€ for two entries (11€ + 13€), further no guide, no explanation... that makes it an extravagant expensive bus trip

The team in Napoli was lovely, the girl in a bus and a man in hat were very polite. The drivers are amazing! But the young man in Pompei was very very rude and this broke our experience. Vesuvio and Pompei are worth to visit anyway.

Vriendelijk personeel, en dat je overal genoeg tijd kreeg om de hoogte punten te bezoeken. Goed geregeld met vervoer, gewoon normaal. Top ervaring.
