Traveler reviews
Very informative tour
Guide was very well versed in the history and spoke clearly to the group. Tour was well organized and on time
Best trip ever!
Best trip we have ever done. Punctual pick up. comfortable transport. Pompeii was very interesting, haunting and emotive. I was surprised how much was there to see. Not just rocks and boulders. Homes, lives, customs..... Our guide was so funny and gave just the right interesting information. It was very hot so water and shade is a must as there isn't any there. Our trip towards Vesuvius was timely and included a pizza snd soda stop. Vesuvius was incredible. There is a very steep uphill trek of about 1200metres and took about 40 minutes in blistering heat. again ensure you have sunscreen, hat and umbrella if possible. but once you get to the top the view takes your breath away.....
A great day out
On our short trip to Sorrento we booked a visit to Pompeii and Vesuvius… it was a great way of seeing both on the same day. With a car collection from and back to our hotel and a mini coach transfer between sites plus a stop off for pizza all went well. The Pompeii guide was informative and entertaining and we were well looked after. We were very happy with the experience thank you project Napoli service.
Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius
A long but well organised day from the point of pickup. Our guide around Pompeii was very knowledgeable and friendly.and was able to add humour in appropriate parts. Mt Vesuvius would not be for people with limited mobility, Worth the half hour steep walk to the top for the views
An excellent day and well worth seeing
We had an excellent guide who explained so much. There is so much history and we enjoyed learning about a people and society from so long ago. The guide ensured that the group stayed together. The pick up and drop off was organised well and it was such a relief to know that this was looked after.
