Everything Vesuvius in one day - This was my favorite excursion so far on our 11 day cruise. Getting to see Herculaneum first then hiking Vesuvius and wrapping the day up walking through the ruins of Pompeii. We had plenty of time for all 3 activities and time for a sit down lunch. No other excursion did all 3, that we could find and our driver Joseph and guide Mary made everything so smooth.

Stop Looking and Book This Tour! - Our full day tour was incredible! The company even picked us up at a different port when our cruise ship changed its itinerary. They were extremely accommodating with our large group of 11. Rosita was an amazing guide with a wealth of knowledge and passion for the area and its history. 100% would recommend booking with this company!

A great personalized day tour! - Our four-person family group had a great experience on our tour! Vinny picked us up at our hotel right on time, managed our schedule all day, gave us recommendations in response to special requests during the tour, and modified our schedule as needed to accommodate those requests. For example, we asked for a suggestion for a lunch spot, and Vinny made arrangements for us to do a tour and lunch at a beautiful winery near Pompeii, which was a lovely bonus to the day. It was wonderful not having to worry about logistics getting between the sites or coordinating our tickets, and having a cool and quiet car to relax in throughout the day. Two minor things to note that deviated from what the company told us at booking: (1) we were told that tickets for Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Vesuvius were included in our price, but day-of we were told Herculaneum tickets were not included and we needed to buy them ourselves; and (2) we were told that we could pay the final balance day-of by credit card or cash, but day-of we were told it was cash only.

Informative trip - Luca, our driver/guide, was an expert on the Roman history of Ercolano, Vesuvius and Pompeii. We chose not to do the climb to the crater and we really appreciated that Luca would slow down or make a quick stop just for us to be able to take nice photos. That was a big plus! He is an Italian by heart and soul, he made our trip more immersive.
