Our tour guide Gennaro was excellent and made the day an easy and memorable experience. His knowledge and enthusiasm regarding the history of the historical sites was excellent and maintained throughout the day. Gennaro answered everyone's questions and was truly professional. He really bought the sites to life!

After a great tour to Vesuvius and Pompeii, the end was a letdown. The driver was 90 minutes late, and we were only notified via WhatsApp. As we weren't checking our phones, we were stranded at the park entrance. An additional ticket for Pompeii or some compensation would have been fair.

The guides were excellent. Special mention to Antonella who went through a lot of trouble to get me on the right tour. The company had originally put me on the wrong tour and she ensured that I got a place in the right one. I would have been very disappointed otherwise.
