“It was a great sughtseeing experience with a very knowledgeable and very friendly driver”
Review of a private Naples tour to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Vesuvius, with transport, practical tips, costs, and honest advice.
“Luca was a wonderful driver for our only day in Naples on our family cruise! He was easy to contact and very knowledgeable about the three sites we visited. He made sure we were dropped off right in front of each area and gave us helpful tips for getting around the ruins and Mt. Vesuvius. When our group was tired, hungry and ready to go, he quickly found us a table at a beautiful, local restaurant so we could recharge before heading back to the port. Pro tips: use the guide service at the Herculaneum. You can walk up to the table right outside the ticket office and sign up…”

“Antonio is a decent gentleman indeed he arranged the pickup timely and the drop off as well besides giving us a good time for lunch in a good place by his recommendation. The tour guide, a lady who I forgot her name wasn’t up to the expectations. She wasn’t prepared with the tickets for Pompeii and made us to wait for a quite long time (half an hour) I explained that I can’t wait and I don’t mind to pay for new tickets. Eventually I asked her to go with the rest of family and leave me alone as I can’t tolerate such mis-arrangement but she insisted I go with…”

“Loretta was great and Enzo was even better. Very friendly and knowledgeable would recommend to everyone”
Review of a private Naples tour to Sorrento, Pompeii, and Vesuvius, with practical advice on sights, value, timing, and booking risks.
“first our booking (despite confirmation) was lost. Then, after a few phone calls, help came. Guided tour in English instead of German as booked. But it ended up being 2:45 too late. Our trip to the Sorrento photo point was therefore extremely shortened. Was actually unnecessary. Actually unnecessary stress! The visit to Vesuvius was great. The visit to Pompeii was very nice because we had a great guide on site. In the end it was 729 euros for 5 people, which we could have spent better.”

“Carmine was outstanding we really enjoyed our day with him. He reached out ahead of time and was flexible and courteous during booking even though we had some extra requests. He was prompt, patient, and drove exceptionally well. ( A few of us have trouble with car rides but had no problems) And he added some insight and comments about the areas as we journeyed; highly recommend he was great!”

“Fantastic day, even the climb up the volcano !! Can’t speak highly enough of our guide clementine, polite funny and very knowledgable. Our guide throughout pompeii (sorry can’t remember his name) was a walking history book, amazing. Highly recommend the wine tasting experience, fantastic local wines not available in UK.”
Review of a private Pompeii, Vesuvius, and Bosco de Medici winery tour from Naples, with practical advice on timing, tickets, walking, and value.
“We scheduled this tour on our 10-night Celebrity cruise. Our ship docked in Naples as scheduled, and our driver, Antonio, was there on the pier to greet us promptly. As noted in the tour description, this tour has three major components; Vesuvius, Pompeii and a trip to a winery. We had two major pain points with this tour. Vesuvius – Our tour guide indicated that he graciously pre-purchased our admission tickets into Vesuvius and purchased a time slot of 9:50am. He advised us the cost for the tickets would be 20 euro per person. We paid him for the tickets, and upon inspection of the admission ticket, we noted a…”
Review of a private Pompeii and Vesuvius shore excursion from Naples, with expert guides, transport, lunch advice, costs, and practical tips.
“We had a separate guide for Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii. Both were very knowledgeable. The guide for Mt. Vesuvius shared several facts with us as we drove to the mountain. This was good, as once we started climbing it would have been difficult to talk. It is a steep hike with loose gravel so have good shoes and water. There are two stops that have snacks and drinks also. We celebrated the climb with lemonciello at the top! Pompeii was very interesting and can't imagine not having a guide to make sense of it all. She was extremely knowledgable and passionate about Pompeii. Both tours included just our family, so…”

“This was an exceptional tour. From the initial booking, there was contact with the organiser & pre-booking conversations allowed a truly personalised day. The tour is with a family firm and nothing was too much trouble. They’re all exceptionally polite & helpful. Pick up was efficient (& in fact 1/2hr earlier) the van was comfortable, the driver very thoughtful & caring and his English impeccable (even if he did talk football to my husband the whole way to Pompeii!! My husband thought this was great!!) There was a problem with the ticket at Pompeii (no fault of this firm) but they went above & beyond to try to sort it…”

Review of a private Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius tour from Sorrento, with an archaeologist guide, summit hike, costs, tips, and practical advice.
“This tour was excellent; our tour guide for Pompeii was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, she took us around avoiding the crowds but providing some really interesting and fun facts in the process. We got stuck in traffic on the way there due to an accident but we still got the full time allocated. This did mean we were a bit rushed to get to Vesuvius as we had an allocated time slot, luckily there are refreshment stalls along the hike which helped. We didn’t have enough people to get a ‘guided’ tour up but didn’t think we missed out without one. Definitely suggest footwear with grip as it was rather…”
