The tour was well organized, and we had an excellent guide in Pompeii. Even though there were a lot of people there, the tour was easy to follow and it never felt crowded. We also felt safe the entire time on the bus.

We had a lovely time with Mario in Vesuvius and Paolo gave a fantastic tour in Pompei. It was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend it.

I loved most everything about this tour. Both our guides were fantastic and everything went so smoothly. We had gotten off on the wrong train stop heading to Naples and they were so helpful helping us get to where we needed to be. I enjoyed everything so much. The only thing I didn't love was lunch. We stopped at the mall and ate in the food court. they gave us almost a full hour, which felt way too long for really mediocre food. Some friends of ours said they had the best meal of their life in Pompei across from the ruins, which is why I opted for the tour that didn't include lunch. I was looking forward to finding something more there. I would have preferred to skip the whole lunch hour and spend that time wandering the ruins instead of having a really sub par meal. But other than that it was fantastic.

We saw a lot in just two hours. It was well paced and it was interestng at every stage. The guide repeated certain key points several times. This really helped cement certain historical insights in my mind. So I was left with more memories than with most tours I have done. He was also very respectful of his audience (checking whether the Brothel experience was for everyone). It was of course.

    Mario was an excellent guide in English, but he was kind enough to provide explanations in Italian as well.
