What I liked the most was the tour of Pompeii. The least, that in the message it said that it was optional to go to Vesuvius but that was not possible, because the agency with which we hired told us that this could not be and that they have already told you to remove it from the message.

Good transport and organisation. Unfortunately the audio guides did not correspond to the places in Erculaneum. In pompeii, it was intermittent. Overall they were amazing places to visit. This company get you to the places, take the hassle out of buying the tickets, and drive you safely back at the end of the day.

The ticketing experience was fine and the reminder with information about the trip was helpful. We loved how knowledgable our guide Michele Lamberti was and how well he was able to provide context for the sites. Now- less positive feedback is that one of the us seats was seriously broken and the passenger in front of me had her head in my lap because of the broken seat. Also, two of the people on the bus where extremely rude and took our seats and we would have appreciated the guide stepping in and asking people not to"steal" other people's seats.

Very well organized day. We were able to visit all 3 sites, without having to rush for Herculanum and Mount Vesuvius. For pompei, they show us the places to visit and the time allotted. Don't forget good shoes, as you'll be walking a lot. The team was top-notch. They even spoke a little French, even though we weren't supposed to. Audioguide for herculanum and pompei in French. Very nice!
