This is a complete waste of money. We paid almost €400 for the experience (there were 2 of us) but they only things included were the lunch with wine and the driver. The lunch with wine can be purchased separately for €35 each (€70) which means we paid over €300 for the driver. He was amazing but it’s completely overpriced. We were only travelling from Sorrento. The tickets to Pompeii weren’t even included.
The ‘3 course lunch’ advertised was dreadful. The starter was a plate of meat and cheese thrown together. The pasta course was awful - completely tasteless spaghetti with a few cherry tomatoes. The pasta wasn’t even cooked - it was rock hard. The meatballs were freezing. And then the dessert was a bland cake.
The ‘wine tasting’ was 5 minuscule wines. I know tasting glasses are small but this was ridiculous - it wouldn’t even have amounted to a small glass combined.
The ‘local olive oil and wine vinegar tasting’ was literally someone pouring oil onto a plate and then adding a little bit of wine vinegar. That’s it! Laughable.
Really regrettable experience and expenditure. Choose another tour with better value for money!

Dear Franz,
Thank you for your review, it's also important for us to know our visitors feedback. We are sorry to see that the price of this tour made you angry, we want to point out that ours is one of the cheapest compared to other excursions, and you got to see the price before booking, so why did you book if for you was it too expensive? all inclusions and exclusions are listed at the time of booking, evidently you have not read carefully. In addition, lunch in the cellar is included. 99% of our visitors are happy with our tours and we realize that occasionally someone gets unhappy, unfortunately in this world we can't make everyone happy, but you could be if next time you read carefully before booking the tours. everything else you wrote is just dictated by your anger. we wish you to live a peaceful and happy life.

Entire tour was great! Mario our driver sang opera songs the entire ride. Great experience! Wine and food was excellent!

Alfonso was our tour guide and was terrific. We ended up with a completely private tour for our party of three. Alfonso gave us full choice of what order we did the tour in - due to weather it made the most sense to try Vesuvius in case of closure and we had the volcano to ourselves for the first hour! On our way down, other tour groups started to come through - it was terrific having the place to ourselves (views are worth the ~20 min hike to the top). We then went to Pompeii and were amazed at the size of the ruins. Lunch and wine were terrific. The real highlight was the tour company - definitely pleased with our choice and felt fortunate to have received such a helpful and funny driver. Grazie Alfonso!

First rate! We had an amazing afternoon at Cantina de Vesuvius!! The vineyard tour was fun and informative, the wine was good and lunch was delicious.
The Pompeii tour was fun- I would love to have had more time to explore. An overall great afternoon :) Thank you for a memorable afternoon
