Fun Full Day Excursion - VERY interesting tour of Pompeii. It is a fascinating place. Lunch at the winery was lovely. Hike up Mt. Vesuvius was a good way to end the day with an increased heart rate! Fun stop at a limoncello stand on the way home. Entertaining day for sure. Be prepared for an entire day of activity (8 AM - 6 PM).

Great day, great time! - The trip to Pompeii, Vesuvius and lunch at a local winery was fabulous! Ended with a limoncello tasting and more. Paola was an excellent guide as was the guide in Pompeii (sport can’t remember his name!!) We would thoroughly recommend this tour. A long day but well worth it!

Awesome - An awe inspiring experience and a wish list completed. Pompeii is majestic in its destruction and the works to excavate amazing. Vesuvius is amazing, the hike a little tough but worth it. The tastings and the craft visits were appropriate.

Great visit to Pompeii with wine tasting! - All exactly as advertised! Well done. Good 2 hr tour of Pompeii, very informative. If want to learn more, look into YouTube! Very nice winery stop. Unfortunately for us, high winds closed Vesuvius, but guide made best of the time.

Very Interesting Experience - This was a great experience. Yes it was a full/long day, but we saw so much. The Pompeii visit was excellent with a very knowledgeable local tour guide. For lunch we were brought to a local winery and had pasta, wine, and dessert - all excellent. Then onto Vesuvius. They drove us as far as vehicles were allowed, then we had a timed entrance and had to hike about 20 minutes UPHILL to reach the top of the crater. Once up there, we walked around the perimeter for a half hour then headed back down to catch the bus. Absolutely need to wear good footwear - it was steep and rocky but definitely doable. All sets were doing the hike, just don’t wear sandals or flip flops. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed this trip. The overall tour coordinator was just ok but the bus driver was awesome - very skilled and patient dealing with the crazy traffic.

Excellent trip made even better by our guide - We were staying in Sorrento, and we booked this trip through TUI before we went. Our guide Desire (I think that is how you spell it) was so knowledgeable and friendly and was always on hand to answer any questions that we had. We booked this trip as we wanted to visit both Pompeii and Vesuvius on the same day and I had no expectations for our lunch but it was lovely. The restaurant was near the bottom of Vesuvius, and the staff were so warm and welcoming. The food was delicious, and the free wine was a delight. It was that good that we bought a couple of bottles to take away with us.

Pompeii Tour - We had a nice time exploring Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius. Lunch was simple, but very good. The crowds were heavy, so we were happy to have a guide to show us around.
