Great trip. Clear instructions all day with timings. Easy transfer from Naples and between the sites. Antonio our guide was fantastic - loved his enthusiasm through our tour. It was busy but he knew the places to go to give us opportunity to see everything If you go in summer please bear in mind it's very hot and a lot of walking! Take hats / sun umbrellas. Take a re fillable bottle as plenty of fountains around the sites

Well organized, good information before and during the excursion. Especially the guide in Pompeii was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I doubt however whether I would suggest going on the tour, because the Pompeii site is very touristic (which the tour organization cannot help), making the experience somewhat less exciting.

The entire experience was great! We were picked up by bus, got to see Pompeii and Vesuvius, got something good to eat along the way and were supported by our great guide Daniel and our busdriver. Daniel was lot's of fun and explained a lot of interesting historical and local facts to us about Neaples and our destinations. Thank you, I would definitly recommend it +1

    Last minutes changes put ne in a bit of a rush. Appreciate that they accomodate and wait for my arrival to start. Micheal the guide/archeologist was a fountain of knowledge, he made it all well worth it. Both Pompeii and Ercolano are well worth visiting.
