From Rome: Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Day Trip

Our guide was great. He was young and excited and his English was very good. Manuelo (?) was ideal to represent your company to a foreigner. It was a very full itinerary and the included lunch was delicious and FILLING!

Me ha gustado todo, la información compartida por los guías, todos bien profesionales, Bárbara es espectacular y nos hizo sentir muy bien durante todo el tour. Me hubiese gustado ver un poco más del recorrido dentro de Pompeya, pero todo está bien programado para el tiempo establecido, buena organización. Muy recomendable el tour.

Przede wszystkim dziękuję za ten dzień. Mimo, że to ponad 600 kilometrów od Rzymu, było to warte każdego wysiłku. Zwiedzanie Pompejów to punkt kulminacyjny. Wspaniale zachowane, dają wspaniały wgląd w rzymskie życie. Via Appia Antica jest sierotą w porównaniu do tutejszych dróg. Malowidła są również bardzo dobrze zachowane. Najzabawniejszą rzeczą, jaką znaleźliśmy, było 90 stacji fast food dla lokalnych mieszkańców. Na początku obawialiśmy się, że w ciągu dwóch godzin zobaczymy tylko mały zakątek. Ale nasz lokalny przewodnik miał świetną trasę i udało nam się wiele zobaczyć. Wezuwiusz był później znacznie bardziej stresujący. Jesteś goniony na górę z pełnym żołądkiem i musisz wrócić na dół o określonej godzinie. Mogę powiedzieć jedno. Nie jesteśmy najmniej sprawni, ale było blisko. Spóźniliśmy się dwie minuty. Jedna krytyczna uwaga na marginesie. Restauracja na przerwę toaletową jest skandalicznie droga. Od czasu do czasu podróż przypomina bieg po kawę. Ale odłóżmy to na bok, możesz zdecydować się na to i nic nie kupować. Dzień był wspaniały i zarezerwowalibyśmy go ponownie i ponownie.

I thought Pompeii was good and I would have liked to have had longer. It felt like we'd just touched on the story and didn't get to see any tombs apart from one. Also I thought we were going to walk up Vesuvius from the bottom to top not be driven up there to walk the last 20 minutes. Also we had to wait for our guide to translate into Spanish at each section because we had a couple who were Spanish whilst the rest of us were English. I'm sure we would have seen a lot more had this not been the case.

This Pompii & Mount Vesuvius tour started dot on time. All along our guide Laura was awsome. She was exprienced guide very friendly and professional. She took care of each passenger on board. The driver Dan was also lovely. The tour was organised well with frequent toilet breaks and covered all what was in the itinerary.

We booked Rome to Pompei and Vesuvio experience for the family of five. Everything went as scheduled. Our coordinator during the trip mentioned several interesting facts about Rome. In Pompei we had our own guide, same while climbing Vesuvio. BTW, our bus stopped by the shortest path to the top which was very convinient. I sincerely recommend this experience!

The Vesúvio tour was really good, and the guide was attentive. The Pompeii tour itself was good, but the guide was not a really good English speaker (we could understand the major part, but sometimes it was not possible to understand her). Eduardo - the general guide - was really sweet with us!

Everything went well and according to plan. Our Leader Guide was very friendly and thoughtful, always wanting to know if everything was alright with everyone - there was a older lady in our group that had issues dealing with the heat and tiredness, he made sure that everything went smoothly, both for that lady and for the rest of the group (safety and time management wise). He gave us very interesting information regarding relevant key points of the tour during our bus ride. At our stop at the marvellous and enormous ancient city of Pompey, we were accompanied by a lovely local Guide, who was very informative as well as very funny. After the visit to Pompey we went to lunch to a designated restaurant, the food was ok, nothing special but included. The drinks were not included as advertised, however the big glass bottle of water that we asked for came already opened and by its awful taste it was clearly water that it as been refilled and was probably store under the sun in a plastic container. Moreover the drinks were clearly overpriced. We stop drinking it and requested a new plastic bottle which was sealed. For the Vesuvius visit, we changed quickly and smoothly to a smaller and comfortable panoramic bus with a clear rooftop (provided shade). During the ride up to the Volcano with listen to an Audio Guide provided in 8 languages. After climbing 1000m up the mountain by bus, we got of the bus and made a brief hike with another local guide. He was very nice and informative, however had some trouble speaking in English - although it was more or less easy to understand. Our final stop before returning to Rome was a very quick visit to a Coral/Camos jewelry workshop/factory/store were they make pieces of jewellery with metal such as gold and silver combined with seashells - very pretty and especially expensive. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

Pompeya, imprescindible. Nuestras guías, Cristina y la local, magníficas, eficaces, muy amables, pacientes; de 10. La experiencia del Vesubio supo a poco porque, aunque no consistía en subir al cráter, las explicaciones del guía local dejaron que mucho que desear. Aún así, merece mucho la pena subir en el bus sin ventanas con un conductor tan tan atento como el que tuvimos nosotros.

Literally loved it!!! The guide was so lovely, lunch was exquisite and everyone was very accomodating and kind. Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone travelling!

El viaje al coliseo el guía se esmeró bastante, en pompells el guía se esmeró más en inglés que español, el guía del baticano se esmeró bastante aunque no hablaba el español bien.

It was a small group, Cristina was a wonderful host, guides were welcoming, food at the restaurant was good, drinks and stuff (everywhere not only at the stops) are expensive, Pompeii and Vesuvius sites were ok, perhaps the publicity of the places created "over-expectations". Anyway is a place one should see in a lifetime and Green Line Tours showed it to us very lively. Thank you.

Unser Guide Eduardo war sehr nett und sehr hilfsbereit. Unser Guide in Pompeii war dagegen sehr unfreundlich. Wir haben die Tour mit 3 kleineren Kindern gemacht. Unsere Guide-Dame hat einen extrem genervten Eindruck gemacht und uns recht schnell durchgeschleust. Unser Guide Umberto der mit uns eine kleine Runde am Vesuv gedreht hat, war dagegen sehr verständnisvoll und nett zu unseren Kindern. Generell lief alles reibungslos, wir hatten uns jedoch mehr von der Tour erwartet. Alles in allem war es ok. Wären wir nicht die einzigen und hätten somit ungewollt keine private Tour gehabt, wären die 140€ pro Person zu viel.

Unser Guide Eduardo war sehr bemüht und nett. Der Busfahrer fuhr sehr sicher. Allerdings war die Zeit zu knapp und wir schafften es nicht ganz rauf auf den Vesuv. Das war wirklich sehr enttäuschend.

Our guides were great and informative. All the tickets, transportation, and the meal were taken care of ahead of time. The two problems were that the Headout website didn't give an appropriately detailed description, and didn't direct us to the website of the actual tour company.

What I liked most about the head out ticket experience was the ease in which the transaction happened. It was very easy.
