      Worth booking - great experience
      Eloise_L, Apr 2024
      Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius were both worth the experience. The lunch at the winery was ok, not great. Our guides throughout the tour were kind, patient, and knowledgeable (thank you Paola, Gino, and Miguel). Definitely recommend going. Maybe just adjust expectations about a wine paired lunch.

      Beautiful Tour, but with a WARNING!
      adrienne_h, Oct 2023
      Our tour guide, Paola, was INCREDIBLE! We loved her knowledge, her sweet demeanor, and we loved that she had some fun surprises for us - the Cameo making/shopping before Pompeii, and the fun limoncello stand just down the hill from the top of Mt, Vesuvius was SO interesting and quirky and full of tastings of chocolate and interesting limoncello flavors! Loved it! However, the tour we had for Pompeii felt a bit rushed (NOT Paola). Once we got to Pompeii, we were handed over to one of their tour guides who led us through. I know we booked this tour with A LOT to pack in for the day - Pompeii, wine tasting and lunch, and Vesuvius - but, had I to do it all over again, I think I’d have done Pompeii on my own, using the app they provide, just to be able to avoid the crowds and spend more time. That being said, we enjoyed the winery tasting and lunch VERY much and we were glad to have had the time to do it! About Vesuvius: PLEASE KNOW YOUR PHYSICAL LIMITS. If you have ANY issues with hips, knees, feet, or heart issues, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE CLIMB. It’s VERY rocky. It’s VERY steep. It’s VERY hot. We had to wait on our bus for over 45 MINUTES for an older woman who had to be brought down by ambulance because she had bad knees and couldn’t make it. We were upset with the lack of communication from the tour company that we were just made to wait on the bus all this time after our climb. There are NO accessible bathrooms on Vesuvius, and we had all just had lunch and climbed to the top with large bottles of water. We were given a specific time to be back to the bus after our climb to the top of Vesuvius. We should NOT have had to wait on the bus for an extra 45 minutes for the person who couldn’t make it back on time. Again, do NOT do this hike if you’ve got ANY sort of joint/heart condition. IT. IS. STRENUOUS. That being said, the trip back was lovely, with a stop at the aforementioned limoncello stand with toilettes and goodies. We drove back into Sorrento overlooking the Bay of Naples with a beautiful sunset. This tour was unique - especially with the winery portion of it (it’s a gorgeous winery with “Insta-perfect” photo spots), and Paola was so lovely. Highly recommend for those in good shape to make the climb.

      Dear adrienne_h, Thank you for your feedback. I would thank you for your compliments toward our guide. Online we try to specify as clearly as possible that Vesuvius is a mountain with a slope of 14% and we do not recommend it to pregnant women, leg and heart problems. We genuinely regret to hear that your tour experience with us wasn't fully enjoyable due to the the older woman who had to be brought down by ambulance.

      Excellent but late
      Ryan_A, Oct 2023
      Everything about the tour was great. However they picked up over half an hour late. Also the address given navigates across the street so giving the name of the bar would have been quite beneficial. The guides and driver were fantastic.

      Memorable day, must do when in Sorrento
      Julie_T, Oct 2023
      This is one of the tours you should select. Paola was an amazing host on the tour, lots of little info nuggets along the way, was just the right amount to know that you would otherwise miss out if just taking the train. Once in Pompeii, Margherita took us around and was very good as well!! It was again the right amount of information and facts about Pompeii, but with a good amount of humour. The one improvement we would suggest is the lunch stop. It started off well, but as it was extremely busy we waited a very long time for the pasta (over 20 min) and we had already finished eating and still waited an additional 20 min for wine. Some tables in the same tour as us had wine twice, while others had not been served. The hike up Vesuvius was well worth the sweat, amazing views everywhere and certainly should make sure you have water for the trek. On the way back we stopped at a roadside shop for the toilets and also to sample the products. He was very passionate about the products and no obligation to buy, but we did. It was an outstanding group of people that made the day memorable, from Paola to the drivers and tour guide in Pompeii. I would recommend this tour.

      Kay_M, Oct 2023
      We loved this tour! Claudio was a fantastic guide through the Pompeii excavations, sharing interesting stories and painting a picture how life was pre-eruption. The climb up Mt Vesuvius was amazing! The views from the top were spectacular and well worth the climb!

      Pompeii, Vesuvio with lunch and wine.
      Susan_D, Sep 2023
      The tour was so much more than we expected, Paola was great, Pompeii was amazing, it was hard to get to every thing due to the crowds. The lunch was delicious as were the wine choices.. Mount Vesuvio was spectacular, plenty of time was given to walk up and down, it was steep, but we went slowly, it was fine.It was a wonderful experience.

      Great tour of Pompeii and Vesuvius
      Marie_K, Oct 2022
      Great tour. Our driver Alfonso navigated the traffic expertly and our guide Paola was excellent, , sharing interesting information throughout the day. The guide at Pompeii was also very good. We enjoyed the lunch at the winery in the middle of the day before trekking up Mount Vesuvius, something we really wanted to do. Ending with the special stop to sample limoncello was the topping on the cake! We were tired at the end but in a good way!
      Response from Host, Mar 2023
      Hi Marie_K, thank you very much for your five star review. We will pass your compliments to the driver Alfonso, the guide Paola and the Pompeii guide, they will certainly appreciate them! We are also happy to know that you enjoyed the lunch in the winery, the limoncello and the trekking on Mount Vesuvius. We hope to see you again soon. Best regards, Michele
      Well planned and great tour for Pompeii and Vesuvius
      Anuraag_G, Jun 2022
      The guide in Pompeii was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The Tour group was very big - 30 in total, but he made sure he reached out to everyone to show the site scenes well and gathered everyone when explaining and showing something. The pickup/drop and lunch arrangements were also very good (taking care of us, vegetarians too!). We had to skip out of Vesuvius coz it was too hot and the guide helped arrange a private cab for us and dropped us to the cab too. Overall well organized and prefectly executed.

      Es un engaño
      zoquitos, Aug 2022
      Confirmamos en dos ocasiones que el tour era en español, llegamos y nos dicen que es en inglés. Hemos escrito por email a la persona de contacto y no obtenemos respuesta. Nos parece un engaño ya que de saber eso no pagamos 260 euros y nos buscábamos otra alternativa. Y desde luego atención al cliente pésima.
      Response from Host, Aug 2022
      Lamentamos las molestias, tratamos de comunicarnos con usted por teléfono los días antes del recorrido para informarle sobre el cambio de guía y si podría ser bueno para usted, pero el teléfono estaba apagado o no estaba disponible. Pensamos que podría ir bien igualmente ya que nuestros contactos estaban todos en inglés, Esperamos volver a verte pronto y cambiar tu opinión sobre nuestro tour en español. hasta la próxima y nos disculpamos de nuevo
