A very fun day! - Our guide in Pompeii was very knowledgable and helpful. The tour was very interesting. We enjoyed our visit to the winery. The lunch was delicious. The wine was very nice. We also rode the horses and being able to see some of the beautiful views from the national forest area while riding was lovely. Rossell, our guide with the horses is very knowledgable and very friendly.

Awesome experience! - It was an amazing and diverse experience. Daniel provided a thorough and informative tour of Pompeii and you could tell he was very passionate about his homeland. Our driver was energetic and kept the atmosphere light. The food and wine tasting was excellent and I learned a lot about the different kinds of wines. The hostess was very knowledgeable of the food that was presented and clearly proud of what was presented. Bring a horse lover I looked forward to our ride. Our guide, Alex, was patient with everyone and led us through a beautiful vineyard. Rain was on its way so we ended a little sooner than expected but it was still a lovely ride.

Great Exoerience!! - This was a highlight of our trip! To get to see Pompeii with Sonia, was wonderful. She was so knowledgeable and really helped us understand what we were looking at and how things were at the time before the ash fell. Lunch was delicious, and the wines kept flowing! Horseback riding through vineyards was a unique experience. The guides stayed with us and the horses were so well behaved (well, Claire tried to snack on grape leaves every chance she got!) and we felt comfortable the entire time. The views were exquisite!!

Absolutely life changing experience! - Starting later in the morning (which was very much appreciated for ample train travel) we met outside the Pompeii ruins. Our guide was lovely, and I could not imagine visiting without a personal guide for full experience. Being able to ask questions and not having audio plug ins just wandering around was well worth the time and money! We were then transported to a local vineyard and fed a BEAUTIFUL and filling meal paired with 8 different types/flavors of wine. You are able to order bottles to be delivered back in the USA!!! We ate outside in the sun overlooking Mt. Vesuvias. After, we were then transported to a stable and started our horse adventure. Our travel group of 4 are experienced horse riders so this was an extremely rewarding and very pleasurable ride, however, the horses are EXTREMELY well handled and very used to all sorts of people so if you aren't experienced it still wouldn't be an issue. There were classes being taught at the stables of all different riding levels and it was very clear that safety and comfort was put as priority. The journey on horse was wonderful, extremely quaint and narrow paths with endless exposure to nature that we all enjoyed.
Our group travelled in late September, it was warm, not rainy, and there were really no bugs around. We also had a gluten free AND lactose intolerant person and food alternatives were provided and delicious! The communication and coordination between all of the locations and transporters was impeccable. We never felt rushed, forgotten, or unsafe. I could not recommend this enough, ideally the first part of your journey to just throw you into the history and landscape of the area!

Beautiful day and experience but with glitches - The day started with a 2 hour tour of Pompeii in the morning. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Next we were picked up in a van and were expecting to have lunch and wine tasting next as was advertised in the description of the tour online. We were taken however to the horseback riding portion. The ride was about 40 minutes but with the set up we were there a couple of hours. The scenery was beautiful and the staff friendly. Then we were transported to the wine tasting /lunch about 3 pm. Had we known the order wasn’t as advertised we would have packed water and snacks as the tour started about 9:30. The wine tasting was delicious but “lunch” was more of a snack to go with wine. A cheese plate, a small dish of ravioli and a small slice of dessert. The setting was beautiful and staff was very friendly. It was a slow laid back experience. We were paired with a wonderful family and had a great time with them. Overall a good day however was misled by the schedule of the day online.

Good your-Great lunch - The tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the Pompeii ruins. However I felt he actually talked to much and we did not get to see as much of Pompeii as we would have liked to. However, the wine tasting lunch was absolutely fantastic. The wines were delicious and the host was just great! We ended skipping the horse back riding because we were too tired and honestly tipsy after the wine tasting, LOL! I would recommend this tour.

We highly recommend this experience - This package packed so many great experiences into one afternoon!
It was helpful to visit Pompeii with a guide to hear a more detailed history of the city before and after the disaster. We wish that the tour had been a little longer because we felt like we saw such a small portion of the city.
The farm to table lunch with wine tasting was AMAZING and felt very special! The setting was a picturesque tent in a vineyard, with delicious fresh food and locally produced wines.
And the horse back ride was entertaining. The ride is on well worn paths through a vineyard and our horses, Brenda and Mary, were insistent about snacking on grapes during the ride.
