The tour was great there was a guide on bus that told you a Little about what you were seeing and a bit of history. Only wish we could have stopped at the top of Mount Vesuvius. Tho you do get to stop at an observation spot for a few quick pics. The guide we had at Pompeii was excellent she was very knowledgeable and fun. Also she tried to keep you in the shade as much as possible. The pizza place was alright only problem is drinks weren't included and it's 4 euros for a coke. There then that it was an awesome experience!

We recently took a day tour from Rome to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, and overall, it was a well-organised and memorable experience. Positives: Our guide from Rome was really friendly and knowledgeable, which made the day enjoyable and engaging. The tour itself was well organised, with everything running smoothly and on time. We had a lovely group of fellow travellers, which added to the experience. The Pompeii excursion was excellent – fascinating, informative, and definitely the highlight of the day. However, the guide could have been more engaging and lacked passion. She also didn't read the audience well and took us to the red light districts, going into detail about sexual organs, lustful actions, and took us to a whore house, with our young teenagers. Smaller kids were also on other tour doing the same route, which is ridiculous! Other things to be aware of: The pit stop halfway through the journey was quite expensive, so it's worth bringing your own snacks if you're on a budget. Lunch at the included restaurant was okay, but the main pizza (a margherita) was disappointing – the tomato purée lacked flavour, and overall the food could have been better. The toilets at the restaurant were poor, with some not flushing – not ideal on a long day trip. The Mount Vesuvius portion of the tour, the second part, only takes you about two-thirds of the way up by tour bus. There's no option to walk to the summit on this particular tour. That said, the views from where we stopped were absolutely stunning and well worth seeing. Overall: A worthwhile trip if you're looking for a convenient way to explore Pompeii and get a glimpse of Mount Vesuvius, but a few practical details could be improved.Jose

It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Many thanks to our guide, Antonini, who explained everything with love and patience and took care of us, to Luca, the driver for making our journey comfortable and smooth and to Willy, our guide in Pompeii, with a great sense of humor, who made the visit very enjoyable. Thank you for everything and for taking such good care of us. Grazie per tutti! A big hug!

Everything was very well organized. The guides were very nice and friendly. The guide in Pompeii was also nice and conveyed the knowledge well. The food was great, but I would have liked them to explain to us what exactly was on the table. On the Versuv we went up by bus and straight back down again. We would have liked to have been able to walk up a bit more. All in all, a very nice trip, as long as you don't mind long (very long) bus ridesPicazo

Pompei and the Vesuvius
Pompeii
Join us for a day tour aboard a comfortable air-conditioned bus from Rome to one of the most famous archaeological sites, the incredible ancient city of Pompeii.
A host will escort you to the entrance of the site and give you approximately 3 hours of free time to visit the site individually and at your own pace. As you walk independently, following the path indicated inside the archaeological site of Pompeii, you will feel as if you were walking in the past, as you see a variety of buildings from villas with frescoes and mosaics to bathhouses, fast food stores to outdoor theatres – it won’t be difficult to imagine the hustle and bustle of this once-busy port town!
Mt. Vesuvius
Your Pompeii day trip doesn’t end here, however. Drive a short way to perhaps the most dangerous volcano in the world – a title held for the 3 million people living around its base today. Just over a half-mile hike up Mt. Vesuvius from the parking lot below the crater offers the most stunning view of the Bay of Naples below and a taste of the utter devastation it must have caused when it exploded in 79 AD, literally wiping Pompeii off the map for 1,500 years.
Positano
From early November to March, Vesuvius is not accessible and will be replaced with a visit to Positano. Additionally, during the summer months, in rare cases of inclement weather or strikes, the Vesuvius crater may be closed to visitors. If this occurs, the visit will be substituted with a trip to Positano, where you will have free time to explore the city!
Along the whole trip, you’ll have an expert, English-speaking tour coordinator to entertain you on the way to and from Rome, so, you can relax and enjoy your Pompeii day trip without worrying about the ins and outs of cross-country travel.
