Vesuvius and Pompeii - The whole day was excellent. Magdalena was exceptional and very caring and attentive, the driver was the hero of the day as those roads up Vesuvius are tough, but felt safe and secure. The light lunch was a whole pizza and drink which tasted delicious. Both Vesuvius and Pompeii were amazing and highly recommend, just wish we hadore time in Pompeii. Overall excellent!

Beautiful views, challenging walk.The first half of the tour was Mt Vesuvius. Very challenging walk both up and down to - Pompeii was very informative. Fascinating window into life there before the volcano. Walking is a challenge for some.

Lovely day out to see the amazing Pompeii - Well organised, great guides who were informative and friendly. Views from Vesuvius excellent. Enjoyed Pompeii maybe would have liked a little longer but can always go back. Lunch was nice. Everything was on time. Need to be fairly fit for the climb up Vesuvius. Stopped for Lemoncello tasting which we enjoyed a friendly host and not pushy.

Sadly, time was lost on a... - Sadly, time was lost on a miscommunication between the tour company and a guest so they were not where they were supposed to be for pickup. This and traffic delayed us getting to Mount Vesuvius and reduced the amount of time we had to hike up and enjoy the views. It was rushed and some people were unable to complete the climb. The pizza lunch was delicious and the inside guide we had for Pompeii was extremely knowledgeable but went through everything very quickly and as he walked fast, it was hard to keep track of his location as he had no flag.

Nice day out - The actual sites were great. Our tour guide at Pompeii was so funny, enjoyed him very much. The provided lunch was really good. Our tour guide was nice, however we felt her role was limited as we were pretty much left to our own devices for teh Vesuvius climb. The tour did feel a bit rushed, but that was due to the fact we were covering two major sites in one day. In retrospect we would have broken up the sites over two days to enjoy our time at both places.

History with views - Should have been five stars and the rating has no impact on the guide Illena and the activity. Unfortunately, during the bus ride to Vesuvius, we realized air condition was broken. The bus was intensely hot, and all passengers were uncomfortable. The bus had to stop at one point to give everyone 5 minutes of air. Illena was extremely sympathetic, checking on everyone and apologizing. Once we got to Vesuvius, they got us a new bus. With that said two hours in an extremely uncomfortable bus started the tour off rough. Outside of that, the excursion was incredible, beautiful views, delicious lunch, and Pompeii was incredible. Well organized!
