Traveler reviews
Poor tour operation and guided
We did not like this tour for the following reasons: 1. The tour guide didn’t wear a red cap and she arrived at the cruise terminal at the exact time for pick up which caused us a lot of anxieties whether amthebfuide would show up at all. 2. I called Viator several times using the phone number listed on the confirmation notice and no one picked up the phone. 3. Although we were picked up at the cruise terminal, it went on to pick up more passenger at a different location. 4. Upon arriving at Pompeii, our group was combined with several other groups so now it’s a big group with a separate tour guide. 5. The new tour guide’s English was awful with very heavy accent. She move on her pace and left many behind and couldn’t hear what she’s saying on the headphone provided. 6. Both tour guides never introduced themselves. Overall, this tour could be improved a lot to make passengers happy.
Tour guide excellent, transportation not so much!
Tour guide was excellent. knowledgeable, organized and kept a good pace. Transportation pick up and return drop off could have been better. Contact person had only a clip board and no flag or other identifier. Multiple pickup stops, extending the drive time to Pompeii. Return dropped cruise terminal passengers on the opposite side of a busy street, rather than on the side next to the terminal vehicle entrance. Not particularly safe drop off location. Could have done a lot better.
Not a small group
This tour was misleading. It says small group and we did leave with group of 10-12 on minibus but when we got to Pompeii we were put with group of 50 plus people for the actual tour. The headsets were awful and we could not hear well. The guide was out of breath during the tour making it more difficult to understand. We did not see some of what is considered the highlights of Pompeii.
Disappointed in Pompeii
The tour guide at the ruins was horrible. She kept walking out of range of the headsets. Also she picked the most inappropriate places to stop such as in puddles of water. Very disorganized trying to separate the groups. I did this tour two years ago and had a much better time.
Be prepared
Bring appropriate clothing and good footwear. This is 2 hours outdoors without shelter and ancient uneven pavement. And don’t miss this excellent tour!
