Pompei and Vesuvius small group tour - Knowledgeable, entertaining guide. Sasa had good English and was timely and organized. 15 people. Enjoyed it. Vesuvius was fun but beware, it is a steady steep climb (l60 degree incline the entire way. Spectacular views of Naples and the bay. the transportation transfers felt chaotic and the drivers were confused a bit even though it worked out fine. Antonio was great as the master coordinator of drivers

Many interesting facts! - Very informative tour of Pompeii! Angelo was so knowledgeable and really interacted with our group. Be prepared to walk/climb when visiting Vesuvius. A moderate level of fitness and comfortable shoes are a must!

Unforgettable tour of Pompeii and hike up Vesuvius - This excursion included a 2-hour guided tour of Pompeii by Frankie, a terrific guide whose catch phrase is "follow Frankie!", and who expertly led us around Pompeii. It also included a drive to Mount Vesuvius, from which we hiked (it truly is a hike) to the summit to see the crater. The views were incredible! The drivers to Pompeii, Vesuvius, and back to Sorrento easily navigated roads with switchbacks and high traffic. It was a fabulous tour that we will long remember.

Follow Frankie! - We had a great tour experience with Frankie! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We came 2 years ago and this time we were able to see more of Pompeii. Mount Versuvio is amazing but be prepared for a very steep climb. Paolo was our driver and he was great too.

Pompeii was amazing, Vesuvius was rushed and not enough communication. - I would like to say that Frankie gets 10 stars for his incredible guide through Pompeii! We loved the tour, loved all the insights he gave us and we could not have asked for more! I couldn’t give the whole excursion 5 stars though because we only had 1 hour at Vesuvius, which was not enough time for us to get to the peak - we were not given any information during the day that we won’t have any time for lunch, so by the time we got to Vesuvius at 1pm we could either have a quick lunch and get to the half way point (which is what we did) or not eat at all until 4pm and pretty much sprint up the mountain. Not enough time, they should have let us know to grab some food before we went out or allow us 2 hours at Vesuvius instead of 1.

Cloudy Outlook - This was my poorest Viator tour experience. Our guide Sasa was great, but it was raining and some guests were poorly prepared for the experience in the rain so we had to cut our tour a little short. Guest should be advised to wear sturdy shoes and bring a rain jacket and umbrella. We also.spent probably four hours in transit or waiting for only 90 minutes or less of touring. One other thing was that they changed the pickup time and place with less than 12 hours notice which was difficult for us because we had already arranged transit to our pickup point and had to scramble at the end to make it on time. Not blaming the rain on the tour company, but overall after 4-5 good Viator experiences, this was the least satisfactory.
