My husband and two adult daughters booked the Taste of Italy tour of Pompeii, wine tasting and horse riding adventure. From start to finish, our tour of Pompeii with Mena was perfecto! She was so knowledgeable and kind! Our lunch and wine tasting at Cantina del Vesuvio was amazing. The setting was beautiful, the servers were helpful and very attentive to our every need. The FOOD and WINE was unforgettable too! Our experience included a memorable horseback ride through the family's vineyard and Vesuvius National Park with phenomenal views and well-behaved, sweet ponies. I would do it again and wouldn't change a thing!

Guys, I’ll start this review by saying… I never leave reviews, for anything or anyone... HOWEVER, TasteTheExperience Pompeii Ruins is truly an unmissable experience! I recommend you book your tours with them and here is why:
The team working at TasteTheExperience made it their mission to ensure our tour was exactly as advertised and beyond! Not only were they punctual, knowledgeable and very easy to communicate with, they were also funny, personable, witty, empathetic, kind, safe and overall genuinely committed to providing you with the absolute best customer service!
I would definitely book them again without a question when I return to Italy.
Thank you Giuseppe, Lorenzo and our tour guide lady (please provide me her name and I will edit it in). You guys made of my experience an impressive memory that I will share and cherish for ever.
Guys, I hope you decide to book, there’s no doubt in my mind that you will love it.
P.S. make sure you buy your tickets to the actual Pompeii Ruins Archeological site prior to your tour, TTE does an excellent job at detailing everything you need and where to find it.

Overall we loved this adventure! Pompeii was an amazing walk through history, the lunch at the winery was delicious and the horse back riding tour was very peaceful! Our only complaint was our Pompeii guide! He was very confused about the ruins tickets which meant we got started very late and then rushed us through the tour!

Not a disaster, but not the best either. Couple of things to understand.
1) This is really three events strung together by three different groups. At some points the tour
guides were asking us (the people on the tour) about logistics ("what color is the van taking you to horseback riding?") which was really strange.
2) The Pompeii tour does NOT include the actual pompeii entry ticket. You need to buy that separately in advance. The instructions to do so came later and were complicated. While i did get that ticket, most on our tour did not. So we lost the first 40 minutes of our tour while everyone bought their tickets. Since we had a fixed time to get onwards to the wine tasting and horseback riding, the tour guide cut our tour by 40 minutes and basically did a foot race through Pompeii in about 90 minutes. Not nearly enough time.
2) The wine tasting and lunch were nice. Grounds are nice, Tour was fine. Wine tasting was good. Lunch was what was expected. Experience was good, not terrible, not amazing.
3) Horseback riding did turn out to be incredible. Long, beautiful ride through vineyards with knowledgable guides on good horses. Probably the best part of the event.
My advice do any or all of these if you like, but book them separately.

This was a wonderful experience. Our whole family enjoyed the tours. A guide in Pompeii is super helpful since it’s so big and they are very informative to
Show you all the highlights.
The horesback riding and views were worth it!!!
The wine and food was ok, but the rest made up for it!
I would book this trip again if we were in the area!

First, the bad part… the weather wasn’t kind to us, so we were unable to do the horseback riding. The nice side of that is the tour provider offered to either take us to a second winery, or to take us back to our hotel. Either way, there’s a partial refund coming for the riding segment. We opted to head home because we were so satisfied with the first vineyard.
The lead up to our big day out was good, with thorough communication from Sofia. We were told to expect Lorenzo, and were sent a picture of him, as well as a description of the vehicle and the license plate. Lorenzo arrived early, and waited patiently to meet us. We drove to two other spots where we picked up more people, all the while entertained by, and learning from Lorenzo. He was a fabulous tour guide, even though he was technically the driver. He was also a courteous driver who made the insanity of Neapolitan traffic easy to contend with.
Lorenzo delivered us safely into Mehna’s hands. She took us into Pompeii, and shared many fascinating details of the site with us. She answered our questions well, and kept a good pace, allowing for many pictures while still seeing a great deal of the ruins. To be clear, you need more than the two hours to see everything, but this is an excellent overview of the highlights.
We were then met by Lorenzo again, who took us to the vineyard. It’s a lovely place with gorgeous views, but the rain was coming. As we ate, the heavens opened up, but we didn’t care. The food was so delicious, and the wines paired nicely. We bought some of their wine vinegar and olive oil in a pack to bring home, and they cheerfully provided us with some bubble wrap. We knew by this point there’d be no riding, and we were debating the offer of a second vineyard. You already know why we chose to not go, but I still wonder what delights could have been found there!
Some of the other tour participants went on with Lorenzo, while his dad, Roberto, drove us into Naples. Roberto was also a delight, though his English wasn’t *quite* as good. It didn’t matter, because he spoke enough, and I know a little Italian. He gave us some really great tips for the rest of our stay in town.
I just have to say, every part of this tour was handled professionally, and with great care. I feel I’ve made some new friends, as well as seeing and learning about Naples, Pompeii, and some of the magnificent wines made in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius. I highly recommend this tour to anybody.

We had such an amazing day! It was absolutely perfect. Lorenzo and the team were brill! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and showed us some super interesting parts of Pompeii. The wine tour and lunch were brill - both wine and food were absolutely delish! And then the horse riding was so much fun. Great to see Vesuvius from horse back - really special.
Cannot recommend this day highly enough!

Definitely book this!! I booked this as a solo traveller, and I can’t recommend this enough to anyone who is in the area. I had the most wonderful day - the wine tasting and horseback riding was amazing. I’m not the most confident rider, and the horses were very calm - no experience needed. A lot of my tour were first time riders, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our day. Clear instructions were given by the host right from the beginning. The wine tasting was delicious - and plenty of food to go around. Everyone I met on this experience couldn’t have been more accommodating. Unfortunately, I had a very untimely train delay which meant I missed the Pompeii ruins, however Guiseppe was happy to ensure I got the most of the rest of the trip - and I was able to rearrange the ruins. I’m extremely grateful for this, they all really went out of their way for me. Special thanks to also Lorenzo, who was our driver, and everyone else involved in making this day so special. Pompeii Ruins, wine tasting in Italy, and a vineyard horseback tour? With a view of Mount Vesuvius Volcano? That is 3 bucket list items in just a day! Will definitely be recommending to any of my friends/family who may visit this special area of Italy. Book the trip everyone!!
