Worth the money

Published on Oct, 2024

POMPEI - Giancarlo was really great with your kids attending to their questions and was very patient VESUVUIS - Mario was great and attentive making sure the tour was great and enjoyable for kids as young as 7 and pensioners. He made the tour fun and answered all of our questions.

Action packed day

Published on Oct, 2024

The tour guide for both Pompeii and Vesuvius were really friendly and knowledgeable. Both are stunning to see. Warning - the meeting place is not so easy to find from the train station. Allow yourself half an hour at the minimum

Worth it.

Mario was an amazing guide full of information on Mount Vesuvius and recommendations for visiting places in Naples. Highly recommend.

Great experience of Pompeii

Published on Oct, 2024

Despite the weather (heavy rain) we had a memorable and very informative trip to Pompeii. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and a great communicator. Unfortunately, the Vesuvius tour had to be cancelled because of the weather, they closed the park, but we were offered an alternative or partial refund as we had booked Pompeii and Vesuvius together. Excellent communication from the company and would highly recommend.

Worth it.

Mario was a great guide during the trek up to Mount Vesuvius, very knowledgeable and took the time to get to know you and provided great recommendations for places to visit in Naples. The Pompeii tour and guide was also great. I learned alot on both excursions - I highly recommend it.
