Breathtaking Pompeii & Vesuvius: Lost City, Volcano & Italian Taste

It really was a fabulous day and a perfect way to see both Pompeii and Vesuvius. We were picked up at the agreed meeting point by Giuseppe, our guide for the day, who was brilliant and looked after us very well all day. Gennaro was our driver, who did a fantastic job - especially navigating his way through the winding roads up Vesuvius in the afternoon. The first stop of the day was Pompeii and the guided tour by Alessio was brilliant and I would definitely recommend this, if you want to know the history of the buildings and what happened. We then got back on the bus and headed for a “light lunch” at Kona, which was delicious. If they consider a 4 course lunch as a light lunch, I can’t imagine what a normal lunch would be…. After lunch it was back on the bus to start the climb of Vesuvius, where we were dropped off to walk the final part, which was well worth it to see the views from the top! Thank you to Giuseppe and Gennaro for making the day so wonderful - an incredible experience!

Five star experience , Giuseppe and Gennaro are excellent driver and tour guide!! We had a wonderful day in this trip, thank you !!!

I had a great day with our friendly guide-Giuseppe and our driver-Gennaro! The trip in Pompeii was amazing and so full of history! I learned a lot from it! Although the climb of Mt Vesuvius was exhausting, but the view was breathtaking! The efforts all paid off!

We loved our tour! Josefina was an excellent tour guide who kept us on track throughout the day with great communication and a fun sense of humor. Visiting Pompeii was an unforgettable experience, lunch was out of this world, and climbing Mt Vesuvius was definitely the highlight of the day. Mario was also a great driver who got us everywhere safely and efficiently. Would highly recommend!

The tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. The climb was a little strenuous,, but worth it. The lunch was a nice touch to the tour.

New and comfortable van with expert safe driver, fluent in English, very personable. The guide at Pompeii was knowledgeable and courteous. The prearranged lunch was tasty and accommodating for guests with food allergies. The hike at Mt Vesuvius was challenging but doable and rewarding.

Our small group guide Carmela was very energetic and helpful and the driver Nando has lots of energy as well. We enjoyed Pompeii tour and “light lunch” was not light as all. Quite beyond our expectations. The hiking around the new and old volcanoes are a bit exhausting but definitely interesting. Our volcano guide Marcus is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. Overall highly recommend it.

We did an all day tour to Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius with lunch. We had a nice time and the main guide, Andrea, was great. We enjoyed seeing Pompeii and the tour was good but we had some trouble understanding the guide. The lunch was great and a really lovely spot, they were very accommodating for dietary needs. Being able to see Mt. Vesuvius was also very interesting. This portion there was no guide. It was very disappointing to be notified with less than 24 hours that they would not do a pick up, even though that was part of the package and the cost. We were not staying near the meet up spot and it was stressful to have to figure out the travel plan to get to the meet up while trying to enjoy our vacation. The reason was a marathon in the city which would have been known at the time of our booking. They could have given us advanced notice. It is listed as a small group but we had 16- I would expect "small" to be under 10. It is vague, probably intentionally. We would have liked more time to shop while at Pompeii. We didn't get to see the gift shop and just had 5 minutes at the cameo shop.

Excellent tour of Pompeii from Leo who was brilliant at keeping our interest and showing us some of the more unusual things about Pompeii that we’d never have known without a guide. Fabulous lunch that gave us enough energy for our walk - unfortunately it was too foggy to get up to the top of Vesuvius so they organised an interesting alternative to the older crater with a mountain guide - lovely views and very informative. Thanks Carmela and Nando for getting us all organised and to our destinations on time - we had a lovely day.

Didn’t expect much from the tour at first, but Raffi completely changed that in the most positive way. She was incredibly helpful and supportive, and without her, the tour wouldn’t have been nearly as good. We basically saw everything important in Pompeii with a guide who clearly cares about giving her best to the clients. Then we had a “light” lunch — which wasn’t light at all — from appetizer to dessert. And in the end, we headed to Mount Vesuvius, which we didn’t quite manage to conquer, but at least we tried! :) So thank you so much to our wonderful guide and for this amazing experience.
