From Pompeii: Pompeii and Herculaneum Guided Tour with Transfers

Places visited during this marathon day. Vesuvius, Heraclium and the incredible Pompeii. So vast.

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.

Well accompanied and very complete

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.

There is no way we could have seen all this without your wonderful tour! Well organised and a very fair price. Staff were friendly and helpful. And indeed we booked a tour for the very next day!

A guided tour to the two archaeological sites would have been far better. The coach at Herculaneum failed to reserve seats for us, so my wife and I had to lose a full forty minutes off our allocated time in Pompeii, shiest we waited for another coach! This meant we only had less than two hours there..... Shame.

Excellent guide Paolo. Very good knowledge and to the point. Strict timing. Only the transfer gave problems due to the train strike

4 Cruise ships came to Naples on morning of our tour...totally destroyed the tour. Guide's directions how to return to Naples from Herculaneum were wrong.

Vince was great. Really knowledgeable and friendly. Perfect guide.

Super time management and very nice organizers.

Very nice guide with great knowledge about the subject. The tour was enjoyable and entertaining, we learned a lot about how they lived before the eruption.

It was a very nice experience. Our guide Diego was great, he provided a lot of information about how the people from Pompeii and Ercolano used to live. We really enjoyed.

The logistics were good on Mount Vesuvius, in Herculaneum we were left in the middle of a street with no instructions on how to enter the site and only a driver who spoke only Italian.

Transportation between the locations was great. Buses were on time and easy to locate. From what I could see, there was only a guide at Mt Vesuvius. For the other 2 stops, one I never found a guide and the other was a recorded audio guide. But overall I saw a lot and was glad not to have to figure out logistics between spots with no car. Would book again.
