Both of our guides Franco (Herulaneum) & Josy (Pompeii) were incredibly knowledgeable about each area and delivered information about the towns, the people that would have lived there, the way of life and the eruption itself clearly and with visible passion for the subject. The day was very informative and thoroughly enjoyable.
We also were able to add on a visit to the crater at Vesuvius for an additional fee, which was well worth the amazing views from the top!

Our guides Roberta and Vincenzo were wonderful. We learned a lot and had fun. Beautiful places and we had enough time to see the best parts thanks to guides.

Wow, what an amazing excursion. Pompeii was huge, over 17 acres, 2 hours barely made a dent in seeing this archaeological treasure. Herculaneum was much smaller and easier to get around, again just amazing. Strongly recommend this trip for visitors.

Lucia made our visit to Herculaneum & Pompeii a special experience. Her knowledge of the area helped us understand what life 2000 years ago was like. She was very easy to understand & her enthusiasm for the sites gave us a great perspective! And Umberto was a great driver!

Excellent tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. His English was perfect. He also recommended a very good restaurant and gave us time to have lunch between Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Lucia was a excellent guide and extremely knowledgable. Good sense of humor and simply a pleasure to spend part of our day with. Our driver Umberto took good care of us. We highly recommend both of them, as well as this tour.

An informative tour by a very knowledgable guide. She was very enthusiastic and made the sites interesting for us. However this "full day" tour was over by 2 pm followed by lunch. I would prefer a longer day as there was lots more to see (our amalfi coast tour finished 5pm!)

Lucia, our guide, and her husband, our driver, were both professional and engaging. Having previously visited Pompeii, I assumed that the tour would be redundant. I was both surprised and impressed. Lucia provided us incredible insight into the life of each site. Her language skills are excellent, exceeded only by her knowledge of the subject. Herculaneum was totally amazing - small but such a story and fabulous ruins. This tour was paced well and provided all of us in our group a clear understanding of each site and the life of the people. Well worth the cost of a private tour!
