Traveler reviews
Lunch at a shopping mall unacceptable
The tour guide Mario was very knowledgeable and accommodating. There was a 30 delay leaving after a long hot day. Lunch at a mall is appalling and unacceptable despite repeated feedback to the tour company. In spite of this, they refuses to change. Totally cast a very negative image of the tour!!
Excellent Tour; A couple notes however.
Excellent excursion. Exactly as described. You have two guides: the first accompanied you to the start of the the Vesuvius hike and afterwards until you enter the Pompei ruins. The Pompei guide takes over after lunch. Very good hike up Vesuvius. Audioguide provided interesting information. Tour guide at Pompei also was excellent. A couple notes: the time allowed at Vesuvius should be 15-30 minutes longer. .We are strong hikers but the time to take in the views felt rushed; slower hikers may have trouble completing it on time. Also, you are given one hour free time between Vesuvius and Pompei for lunch on your own. However, the guide put on a very hard sell for one particular restaurant which he then lead most of the group to, and disparaged all the other restaurants in the area as tourist traps. We disregarded the pressure and had a wonderful and less expensive lunch at one of the other restaurants.
Full day small group tour. Self guided tour up to Mt Vesuvius and personally guided tour of Pompeii with 1 hr lunch.
Mario was awesome! He educated the group on Mt Vesuvio while on the bus ride up. Then handed us off to Ella, the archeologist/guide for Pompei. She was a delight as well. Very much worth the tour price!
Super Mario!
Great trip, Mario and excellent guide.
This trip was well...
This trip was well organised with Mario as a very informative guide & an experienced archeologist for the Pompeii component who also provided great insight. We were fortunate to have great weather which provided fantastic views from Mount Vesuvius.
