    Happy to recommend this tour

    We thought both Pompeii and Herculaneum were amazing. ‘Tony’ our guide was friendly and approachable. He looked after us well. Coach was on time and comfortable. Simple Italian meal with wine/beer/soft drink was very welcome.

    We were I able to go because the bus left without us! The time changed and they sent an email we did not receive as we were on a ship. Tried to reschedule but they would not. Do not recommend this tour company at all. Disappointed that they would not reschedule and Viator would not help at all.🤔
    Humbling experience, so grateful to have it so well organised

    The wonder of being able to walk through the preserved lifestyles of ordinary people from 2 millennia ago.
    Pompeii and herculaneum
    Keith_G, Oct 2023
    Both sites are worth a visit we had a great day, the tour guide was excellent he explained everything as we went along showing things that you wouldn't notice on your own, the only downfall was the time I think it would be best to spend a whole day at pompeii and a couple more extra hours at herculaneum as there is lots to see.

    Cinzia was wonderful. Lots of energy. Explained everything we were seeing. Really great would work with her again
    Great!
    Daniela_M, Sep 2023
    This tour was great because it started with Pompeii to walk you through the structure and history. Followed by Herculaneum where the tour focused on culture and what life was like. Alex our tour guide was great. He was knowledgeable and had a sense of humor. The lunch was delicious. It's hot though and not a ton of shade so be prepared.

    The tour was excellent, Antonio the guide was excellent too. He was very knowledgeable and friendly.
    Very well Coordinated Tour
    MARTA_M, Jul 2023
    From Pick-Up to Drop off it was easy. The tour was very well coordinated. Ernesto the Tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. The audio devices allowed you to hear his explanation at all times while giving you the liberty to take pics. The lunch was a preset menu of pasta and marinara sauce which was nothing to rave about but ensured everyone ate and the tour was not delayed. It was also great to compare Pompeii and Herculaneum.
    Excellent tour guide

    Martina was absolutely awesome as our tour guide. She was professional, knowledgeable, engaged the group with questions & was timely with the tours, arrivals & departures. Definitely an asset to Viator & recommend her to any tour group. Tom Sutton

    The guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and accommodating. It is a fairly long day, but with the lunch break between the two sites it’s very manageable. The ruins get very hot so keep that in mind. But very worth seeing both sites.

    Pompeii is great. Certainly a must see but Herculean is a real gem . Not only the ruins but also the story behind it including the challenges with the excavation today

    The gentleman who was our guide was thoughtful and informative, he was a great ambassador. He explained the site very well and knew what the group would be interested in. Lovely elderly gentleman.

    Mary_B, Apr 2023
    Great guide and we loved having a transfer to/from Sorrento and 'skip the line' tickets. Very cool to see the difference between the two sites.
    Learned So Much!
    Margie_H, Apr 2023
    We had a great day of learning with our guide Rafael. He was very knowledgeable, and explained what we were seeing in just the right amount of detail. We couldn't decide if we should go to Pompeii or Herculaneum; this tour allowed us to do both. We now realize we're glad for that!
