Part 1 (Pompeii):
The Pompeii archaeological site is huge, this tour really provided a focused, high-yield experience of the key aspects of the site to optimise the time there.
Happy with group size, did not feel too large, think we had about 18-20 people on the day.

Part 2 (Vesuvius):
Comfortable spacious mini bus for transfer to and from Vesuvius.
Good amount of time provided at the crater.
Information provided by both tour guide Mario, and additional information from an expert present at the crater too.

Both tour guides Paulo (Pompeii) and Mario (Vesuvius) were very informative, friendly, and provided thoughtful answers to all questions we asked.

Great day with Pompeii in the morning for a visit with Nello, very knowledgeable and interesting guide with perfect French. Yes visit to Vesuvius with Mario, in English this time.
Beyond the beauty of the sites which are breathtaking, these two guides allowed us to learn a lot of things and made the day exciting, even for young children!

We booked onto a combined tour, in the morning we visited Pompeii with Carmine and the afternoon we visited Vesuvius with Mario.
It soon became apparent that 2 hours in Pompeii was not enough time but Carmine did his best to ensure that he gave us a great insight into Pompeii took us to key sites in Pompeii

The tour guides were both brilliant but the companies organization was not so good.
At Pompeii they wasted time waiting for everyone to turn up before putting them into groups. Thankfully we went into the 1st group so didn't lose too much time.

We were sent email instructions asking us to meet up at 2.30pm for the Vesuvius tour, it turned out we should have been at the meet point earlier. Thankfully Mario called us and we headed to the meeting point and whilst he contacted another couple who had been given the same instructions, I managed to quickly buy something to eat.

Mario & the mini bus driver took us to Vesuvius
Where we walked up the volcano and met up with the geological tour guide who gave us a talk and the crater.

Mario was friendly and very knowledgeable of Vesuvius and the surrounding areas. He engaged with all members of the tour. He showed interest in the plans you had for the rest of your trip and made food & visit recommendations to make your stay even better. We really enjoyed our trip to Vesuvius and would highly recommend the walking tour.

Really enjoyable especially hiring Pompei and Vesuvius in the one day , although it can be a long day so try get a good rest the day before .

We brought water/ energy drink which was well needed thought the tours.
and a sandwich / nuts which was nice to chill out for a quick snack on the bus to Vesuvius and at the summit of Vesuvius .

The tour guide of Pompei was really nice and informative . And such an amazingly well preserved way of life .

Our guide Rafaela was very knowledgeable and packed the entire two hours with super interesting and specific information. She was also lovely and funny keeping the group together and asking random questions , which made for a great time.

She is also very passionate of Pompei , and if she sees people walking/doing things in areas where they shouldn’t, she promptly , politely and assertively advises them on what they should and shouldn’t do which is nice to see .

The tour guide of Vesuvius catered very well to all the different participants needs , taking regular breaks as needed . And provided some nice information along the way .

Highly recommended 👌👌

In the morning, our group was led by Paolo. I really appreciated his knowledge and ease in answering questions from members in our group. He took us to some remarkable place. The tour ended within the park and he suggested some sites to visit on our own. Paolo was awesome.

In the afternoon, Mario took us to Mount Vesuvius. He provided general knowledge of volcanoes and specific information and history about Vesuvius while on the drive to the mountain. He was most knowledgeable. Once at the mountain, he led us on the steep climb to the crater’s edge. I appreciated his respect for all of our abilities, ages, and physical fitness. You were super, Mario!
