I have enough time to visit Mount Vesuvius & Herculaneum. Each activities have around 2 to 3 hours to visit, it completes at 3 p.m. something. No lunch breaks, so better to bring your own food or snacks. No need to worry about transportation when you travel. I do not join to visit Pompeii in the day trip, so the driver picks up us after visiting the Herculaneum and we go back to the city of Naples. It is better to advise us before visit so that I know that I will be travelled by another car.

So helpful to have transport between the sites. It was a little chaotically organised but it worked. Disappointingly there was no time for lunch or coffee breaks, or to visit gift shop at Pompei. I would recommend taking lunch and drinks with you. The tour guide provided at Pompei was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The pompei tour was a little rushed and I didn't feel I had time to look round the museum part properly. The guided tour only does a very small part of the site. Be prepared for a lot of walking on rough ground. If I were to do the tour again, I would miss off Herculaneum. The three site visit was too much for one day.

It was very easy to buy tickets for Vesuvius. I liked that I could pay for them up until the day before and even cancel if I wanted to. What I didn't like was that they sent me the tickets via WhatsApp just three hours before my entry time, which left me feeling anxious. Still, I think I'll buy from them again in the future.

Host upon departure to/ from Vesuvio was classy, hospitable and a very positive, fun & good-hearted person. Non stressed and, with his good humor, taking away stress from the non-mediterraean guests. Bus trip went smooth: no delays, careful & respectful driver. ECCELLENTE :-)
