This tour is basically a travel service between Pompei, Mt Vesuvius and Herculaneum. We were taken to Mt Vesuvius and left there - told to meet the bus at particular time. Considerable confusion about which bus to get on - driver very confused. Next we were dropped at Herculaneum with an audio guide that was totally separate to the Herculaneum numbers so when you played it, it didn't match where you were. Got back to bus at time we were told. Company miscounted number of participants so we had to sit and wait an extra 15 minutes. Driver was not happy and drove us back to Pompei in a very unsafe manner (130km/hr) on highway in a rickety minibus. Then we were left at Pompei with audio guide which had to be returned by 5.30 so you could get your ID back. An extremely disorganised company and too expensive to basically pay for transport and entry tickets. Enjoyed climbing Mt Vesuvius and wandering around Pompei and Herculaneum without audio guides.

The introduction by a team member to the tour was so bried and uninformative. There is no guide but a machine for Pompei. The content of this machine is minimal only 2 out of 10 monumenta have recorded information. As if this is not enough there was no guide no electronic recording for Herculeneum. And more over the driver left two of us at Herculeneum saying that we are not on the list!!!! Yes ! They left us at Herculeneum!!! At Vesuvio again no guide no electronic guide - the Volcanologist is on site for additionla tour and fee so not included at all. Basicly this is tour with no guide no working electronic recording and they leave you behind ! Certainly no one took responsibilty and no accountability.Alain

Archaeological wonders & convenient transfers
Revel in the ancient past of Naples as you visit two prominent Italian archaeological sites, Pompeii and Herculaneum. Take the local train from Pompeii to Herculaneum to get intimate with local cultures and customs.
Pompeii
Enjoy a relaxed walk around Pompeii and visit its crowned jewels: the Basilica, the Forum, the infamous Lupanare, the Theatres, Casa del Menandro, and more! Listen to the story of this remarkable city with a heartbreaking past- buried under layers of ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Marvel at the famous plaster casts of the victims.
Herculaneum
This city may be smaller than Pompeii, but it is better preserved than Pompeii. Pause at the beach warehouses to cast your eyes over the skeletons of 300 victims. Walk past the charming Samnite House, the thermal baths, the bakery, and the house of Deers, with an archeologist guide beside you for a deep dive into how people of ancient Rome lived, loved, prayed, and died.
