Fantastic tour of Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius.

Published on Sep, 2024

Our guide and bus driver were great. Cynthia (apologies for not getting the right Italian version) was amazing. She was friendly and informative and kept a cracking pace. Always helpful and provided great insight and information.

Fantastic tour

Fantastic tour! Our guide was excellent. He provided so much information and repeated the information so you could absorb it all. Highly recommend doing My Vesuvius the views were incredible!

One of the Highlights of our trip to Naples - even my 14 year old son loved it!

Published on Aug, 2024

Hiking Mt. Vesuvius and then touring Pompeii was one of the highlights of my 10 day trip to Italy with my 14 year old son. Our guide for Vesuvius was Mario - he was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Depending on your physical shape, I'm not sure I would call it a hike. It's more of a long walk up a hill, but the views were breathtaking and it was amazing to think about the power behind the volcano. Our guide for Pompeii was also fantastic (I can't remember her name now) - she is an actual working archeologist and had so much insight into what went on in Pompeii it really provided great context. The only down side of the Pompeii trip is that 2 hours is not nearly enough to see everything. Luckily for us, that was the second half of our tour that day so we were able to spend more time on our own. I would suggest they always do it that way to allow people the time to explore (as opposed to doing Pompeii first and then Vesuvius which was what was originally scheduled).

Excellent tour in all aspects - the guide Roberta and all the arrangements going like a watch.

Guided informed tour of Pompeii which made the visit in very warm weather manageable and also the limoncello at the summit of Vesuvius.

Loved it!

Published on Aug, 2024

Desiree was fantastic, she showed so much enthusiasm throughout the tour despite the heat. She advocated for us while lining up for certain displays and reminded us of etiquette when visiting the site. She shared a lot of information with some good natured jokes along the way. We could tell this subject never gets old for her and that enthusiasm really rubbed off on us. We would definitely do this tour again it was fabulous- thank you!
