Great day and very Informative - What a great day out! Our guides were very knowledgeable and the entire trip was incredibly interesting. It’s quite a long excursion and I was a little worried about whether the kids (9 year olds) would be able to stay interested but they enjoyed it all the way through. The schedule is well planned with good balance between the Pompeii visit, a great lunch and then the visit to the Herculaneum

Fantastic Experience - This was well worth the price. We started the morning in Herculaneum. It was very quite and it was easily navigated. We had a great lunch. Spent the afternoon in pompeii, it wasn't as busy as I would have expected. It was fantastic seeing the sights and our tour guide Tony was very knowledge and ensure we saw the main sights in both locations. The bus was very comfy and the driver was superb, cold bottled water was available to buy on the bus. I would recommend this trip if you want to visit these locations.

A good, full day out - We had an excellent guide and the coach was top class. Well worth the money made especially memorable because of the enthusiasm of the guide. The meal provided as part of the tour was much better than expected in a comfortable restaurant.

Wow! - This was an exhaustive (and exhausting!) excellent, informative and fascinating tour of the two cities. I had never heard of Herculeum but it was more amazing than Pompei! Tour guide Fabiania was great.

Pompeii and Herculaneum - A first class experience. We were located in Sorrento, they pick you up in Sorrento. They are first class. The Guide was very knowledgeable, made it better, than struggling to do it on your own.

Great guide - We had Cynthia (Italian lady). We could not have had better. We had a wait even with skip the queue tickets but she managed the whole situation. Knowledgable, friendly and just soo on. Great day. Very long but with everything. Especially this guide.

Great experience of two historic sites - Excellent tour! Our guides, Cynthia and Katarina, were great. Knowledgeable, friendly, efficient. We had a group of over 30 so they split us up so the groups were more manageable. Recommend doing this tour so you see both sites and can compare and understand the differences. It is a lot of walking but not excessive stair climbing and the guides are aware of the groups abilities and adjust as needed.

Pompeii & Herculaneum - Good basic guide of Pompeii, it would take days to do fully. Meal is a set meal, maybe not for everyone, but good quality. Herculaneum I had seen before & I enjoyed more, and it more manageable, lots of uneven areas and steps, so U need to be realistic and know Ur fit enough to do a full day. Guide was friendly & informative, one thing I would stress, once in Pompeii, there are no toilets or very far apart, if U stuff from IBS like me, U need to prepare.

A nice in a lifetime chance to visit two incredible archeological sites - Visiting both Pompeii and Herculaneum on the same day is definitely worthwhile if you are pressed for time. Our tour group saw the main highlights of both sites over a full day excursion. The guide was very good at Pompeii, but at Herculaneum our group was split into two and I had another guide who was an archaeologist by profession and she was exceptionally good.
