Traveler reviews
Hard to follow with both languages being spoken
I didn’t realize that the tour would both be in English and Spanish. I was thinking that there would be an English tour and a Spanish tour. It was very hard to to understand the English and then you lost focus when the tour guide was in Spanish. With the switching between both languages, you missed a lot of what was being explained. The tour guide did her best, but would not recommend this tour if it continues to be in both languages.
Pompeii tour
This destination was a bucket list place to visit. It was my first tour off a cruise ship I've done independently and was apprehensive it'll go well. I need not worry. The communication with the company, pick up point all worked out fine. There was an issue with the bus and we had to wait for another but all sorted and off we went. Our local guide in Pompeii was incredible. He was born and raised around Pompeii and had lots of stories and inside knowledge. It was hot!! Not many places with shade but my goodness it was fascinating. That there is even more still covered is amazing. Walking the same streets and entering houses with beautiful frescos on the wall is incredible. A good 2 and half hours here was a good time. Picked up and dropped back at the ship. Bucket list ticked off
Must see
Really impressive guide, Imma,who was an archeologist. This is a must see when visiting Naples. Tour operator with bus was hard to find as our ship wasn't docked close by so we had to power walk for 20 minutes to get to the meeting point. Not impressed with this so if booking off of a cruise, make sure you check Google maps before leaving the ship
Pompeii Excursion
We took a bus from the cruise terminal to Pompeii. We had a little difficulty finding the meeting spot and thankfully the tour operator waited for us. We were taken by bus to Pompeii which was about 40 minutes. The tour itself was 2&1/2 hours. Our tour guide was excellent. I cannot recall her name but she was very knowledgeable and made the tour very enjoyable. We asked her to recommend an authentic pizzeria in Naples and we found it without any difficulty and it was the best Margarita pizza we have ever had. For the excursion in Pompeii I would recommend good walking shoes and a bottle for water. There were free fountains inside the ruins to refill water bottle. I would recommend this tour.
Pompeii is a must see
Really enjoyed the tour guide, Imma. Pick up location by the bus from the port was very hard to find and directions only arrived half an hour before the departure
