  • Good tour. Very informative. Group was too big to get personalised service. Maybe times for the tour should be more staggered as there are a lot of people visiting. Worth doing tour as you jump the queues. Make sure you wear comfortable clothing and shoes as it is normally very warm and path is very uneven.

  • Pompeii part ok but Naples was lame and we were left on our own allot- guide stayed with the driver and she should have come with us to guide us at the sites

  • Just OK compared to our other tours in Italy. Guide was knowledgeable, but felt rushed as she was translating in 3 different languages. We had booked an " English speaking tour," but we spent a good amount of time waiting for other translations, or for guide to take phone calls from office. Seemed unorganized.

  • The tour bus picked us up at our hotel right on time and got us to Pompeii in good order. The tour guide gave an interesting multi-lingual commentary on the way, even though this was supposedly an English-language tour. When we got to Pompeii we got a special, English-speaking, guide for the ruins themselves. However, we then somehow wound up with an Italian couple, who only spoke Italian, in the group and the tour was prolonged a lot because the guide kept stopping to translate into Italian for these two people out of 20. It was a very hot day and these delays, with most of us bored stiff since we knew no Italian and had, therefore, signed up for an English-language tour, were very tiring. I think someone messed up and got this Italian couple misplaced and then stuck them in with us. Most of us were not young and waiting in the horrible heat for the Italian patter to end really did wear on us. The city tour guide himself did a good job explaining the ruins and the history and all, it was just the delays for Italian translation that were not fun for us. We had signed up for the combination Pompeii/Naples tour and so we came back to Naples after Pompeii. We finally got something to eat in Naples but the rest of the tour, with the exception of the high-elevation views of the bay, was unexceptional. We had the distinct impression that something got confused at the start of the day and the tour company was trying to make the best of it, with the results as stated above. The tour guide was on the phone virtually nonstop and we changed vehicles three times. Also, we had to take all of our belongings off each vehicle, which would have been a major disaster if we had had full luggage to carry. There was just no place to store it or keep it and we had only come down from Rome the night before to do the one-day tour. Therefore, we had only small packs and could handle them, but if we had had real suitcases it would have been impossible to lug them all over Pompeii

  • The tour was not organized and we stood around waiting entirely too much. However, Pompeii was amazing. We just had too big a group and she had to repeat everything twice. (English and Spanish)
