The organization was pretty good, but be careful with the first meeting point! The address that shows up when you click “more information” is wrong. You have to scroll down once you have your QR code and find “where to go.” There are two different addresses… for no reason at all. Another major downside… the audio guide for Herculaneum was absolutely terrible. It made no sense, the robotic voice was awful, and it kept cutting out… we ended up not using it at all. Get a ticket without the audio guide—it’s useless.

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!!🇪🇸

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

It's incredible how much you see in a single day—it's wonderful. At Mount Vesuvius, they drop you off just a few meters from the crater and very close to the other viewing platforms.

I really appreciated the guides’ punctuality and clear instructions. Areas for improvement: The initial meeting point at Ramada isn’t clearly marked, so you have to keep an eye out for potential customers. Also, the time allotted for the visit to Pompeii is clearly insufficient; it should be at least three hours.

A very well-organized tour, with the schedule followed to the letter and a perfect driver. Perhaps the only drawback was that there wasn't enough time (especially for Herculaneum).

The staff was friendly, and we had plenty of time to visit all the highlights. Transportation was well organized—just the way it should be. A great experience.
