Our tour operator was superb with handling our needs and accommodating us from the start. Emanuel was our contact for Enjoy Pompeii and he was great as was the tour experience.

We had a wonderful time with our tour guide Sasa! He was so friendly and knowledgeable, and he made the tour personal for our group. Our drivers were friendly and polite, and helped us when we had an issue without tickets. A wine tasting with lunch was the perfect end to our day.

Sasa brought Pompeii to life. He was so engaging and made our experience in Pompeii one to remember. He really made sure to provide great context and background at everything we were looking at it. It was not just a point and look tour, but more of painting a picture in our minds of what life was like in Pompeii. Sasa is the best tour guide we have ever had and I am so grateful we got that experience with him.

My mother and I did this and it was absolutely perfect. The tour guides were absolutely amazing. The wine pairing/ tasting with the meal was outstanding. The travel to each area was made easy and was excellent. 100% would recommend

Having a tour starting with a tardy pickup at our Positano hotel and driving the 1-1/2 hrs to Pompeii is a waste of valuable vacation time.
Pompeii tour was excellent and fascinating thanks to our expert guide, Sasa, who creatively set the stage to understand life at Pompeii and help us visualize the horror of the eruption that fateful day. Two hrs was not enough and I credit Sasa with five stars. Then the rest of the tour went downhill from there. Vesuvius was a tourist trap with a steep walk on the path to the top where you could not see the volcano. Crowds and buses vying for parking was a mess. It was a total waste of time. The lunch and wine tasting even worse with no a/c in the room with nearby tables left not cleared. The food was a ‘1’ and the server refilled our same single wineglass with average wine. If you didn’t finish your sample, I think she would have poured the next sampling on top of it. The group of 10 of us clearly felt the same and wanted to leave and we had to search for someone to put us out of our misery and direct the way out. Then the 1-1/2 hr return drive back to Positano. Do yourself a favor. Try and see Pompeii separately and avoid the extra time driving time. And…skip this tour…you will thank me…

My recommendation is to book a tour without the lunch and wine tasting. Trying to do all three left no time to enjoy any of them. The lunch spot was more of a road stop cafeteria and having to leave two hours to get there and have a mediocre lunch left not enough time at Vesuvius for us to do the trek to the top.

Dear customer, we're sorry you didn't like the winery, since we take our customers to different wineries, we can know which one you've been to so as not to bring other customers there.

Walking through Pompeii and hiking the rim of Vesuvius
Sasa a great guide giving us vast history and background of Pompeii as a community and trading post

Overall I rated this tour a 2 star. The original driver that picked us up was inviting and polite. The guide for the Pompeii tour was great but the tour did not allow time to go into the museum shop for souvenirs and it would have been nice to purchase a book or something from Pompeii. Then there was confusion after the Pompeii tour ended as several small groups combined and went on to other tours. Our tour including a lunch and wine tasting then a “walk” at Mt Vesuvius.
The van we took in the morning had air conditioning which was great and what the tour advertised but the van in the afternoon did not have air conditioning and the trip to the winery, mt Vesuvius and back to Positano was hot, smelly and completely miserable!
When we arrived at the winery the group had too many people than was accounted for which meant either the tour group Mis counted or other people accidentally joined not understanding were they needed to go. At no time did one from the tour group ask for a voucher or verified who should be on what tour and if they had that would have easily defused the situation! So lunch ran late because of the confusion which meant the walk at my Vesuvius would be affected.
When we got to mt Vesuvius a guide told us to walk in a steep hill with lots to of loose rocks which was really hard to walk on plus no were in the tour description did they mention a “hike” or to wear certain shoes with traction….. most people in poor health or shape would not have enjoyed that hike. The tour really should list basic requirements.
The long drive back to Positano was hot and miserable and it was late when we finally did return. Long story short I would NOT recommend using this tour group as they were unorganized and a vehicle that did not have air conditioning when they advertised they would provide is not acceptable. Really disappointing.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
We are sorry for the inconvenience of the bus that broke down on the return to Positano but the review seems a bit exaggerated. We are happy that you want to give advice but the Vesuvius guides are included in the price of the ticket to the national park and are not provided by our agency so what they say does not depend on us, then since it is a volcano it is normal for there to be stones and rocks during the climb but it doesn't seem to be as difficult as you described (we always advise against the visit to those who are not in good health conditions as written on viator) given that there are thousands of visitors a day so we think it's not our fault, none a person from outside the group was added during the tour this is impossible at the winery the tables for our groups are booked we do not book the whole winery so it is normal that the other tables were occupied maybe next time instead of wasting the time to write a review with malice enjoy your time differently
Paige_L, Sep 2023
Pompeii was incredible!! Our tour guide, Francesco, was funny and very knowledgeable about the ruins. His English was easy to understand. The wine tasting seemed quite disorganized and took longer than expected. Not necessarily the fault of the winery but our shuttle driver didn’t give us any instructions when we were dropped off. When we left the winery and drove to Vesuvius, we didn’t even get to see the mouth of the volcano.. just hiked for about 2 miles to then turn around and go back. It was pretty lame, and the guide didn’t teach us too much, but was quick to ask for a tip at the end. If we did it all over again, we would’ve just done Pompeii.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Since it's your personal opinion we respect it but advising others not to visit Vesuvius just because you didn't like it or because you have to walk seems a bit much, as far as the winery is concerned the driver accompanied you up to 20 meters from the entrance is the tables for your group were all booked sometimes be a little less looking for precision and enjoy things more like a glass of wine and Vesuvius is better
Emma_C, Sep 2023
We ultimately got everything we signed up for, and despite an unexpected bus breakdown on route to Vesuvius we got to our wine tasting and lunch and received a free bottle of wine!
