Fantastic day - Guide Antonino was fantastic, drove us comfortably to all the destinations. He provided a wonderful narrative, explaining Pompeii and Herculaneum amazingly well. Antonino engaged really well with our 17 year old son, keeping him engaged and interested throughout a very memorable day.

Ancient Ruins - Viator had two local pickup areas so it was easy for us to meet them. Luigi was our tour guide and Giuseppe our driver. They were both very friendly and informative. We had a nice, newer van that was very comfortable and air conditioned. Luigi kept us well informed and provided water. He walked us up to the entrance of the sites but did not accompany us into the parks. The time available to see the sights was good but Pompeii is so vast you could spend weeks there. Make sure you bring some good walking shoes.

Exciting and Educational Day Trip to Vesuvius, Pompeii, and Herculaneum - We had a private drive to the two archaeological sites and Vesuvius. Along the way, our driver and guide, Cesare, filled our heads with lots of historical and other information about all three. He was accommodating with respect to time. The day trip was wonderful. As an avid student of archaeology, i was thrilled to finally see Pompeii and Herculaneum, and that naughty volcano that was the cause of it all. Very exciting!

DON'T do this tour... - Bad, because we had NO tour guide at Herculum, Pompei or Vesuvius AND we were on our own AND we had to pay admission for Herculum and Pompei. We could have rented a car for the day and done this ourselves for way less that $382.00. This is bull....

Tour Guide Polly did not pay for the tickets to enter Vesuvius. 14 people missed the opportunity. - We missed our visit to Vesuvius. Our Tour Guide Polly dropped us off on a trail, not the correct ticketed entry to view the crater. Polly must have thought she could keep the money she was to use to purchase the tickets. 14 people in our van missed a once in a lifetime opportunity! This is not acceptable. For the price of the tour I expected a full day with visits to the sites I paid for.
