Our guide was marvelous. Vesuvius and Pompeii were places I had wanted to visit for many years. They were better than I had imagined. In Australia I was informed that as Vesuvius was not an extinct volcano some tour operators would not take the risk of going there!

Well worth doing; you never know when history may repeat itself.

Our train was 2 hours late and yet they still picked us up from the station. They were very kind. The tour was very interesting and the walk up Pompeii was unforgettable.

The beginning was a little rocky, some mis-communication to pick us up from the port but we made it. After that everything was good, one on one with you eager to please the tour was cool. I loved Pompeii and the lunch was really good. The driver was a really nice guy and the tour staff we love them alot if we go back again to Naples we are definitely doing this tour again and also it was bummer for Mt. Vesuvius because it was raining not the tour's fault.

Absolutely wonderful tour! There was a little confusion on where we would be picked up but we were helped by a very nice Italian man who called the company on his cell phone and straightened out the directions. There were only three of us in our tour and our guide was very informative in Pompeii. It would have been nice to spend more time in Pompeii but there is no way we could have navigated around Pompeii and seen all we did see in the time allotted if we had not had a guide. The lunch that we received was delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant was fabulous. The trip up to Vesuvius was only a short ride away but the walk to the top is strenuous to say the least! The pathway is all volcanic rock and straight up. I suggest renting a walking stick from the vendor there if you don't have your own, it will make the trek a little easier. All in all it was a very informative experience and I would recommend it to anyone who feel they are in good enough shape to hike straight up to the top of a volcano.

I had one day to kill in Naples and really wanted to go see Pompeii. I found Viator on the internet and booked a day trip with them. It was easy to do and they picked me up and dropped me off at my hotel. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.
Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius were excellent to see in real life, both are truly marvelous. The grasp of history and local knowledge that our guide had enhanced my experience greatly. I would highly recommend going to see both Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend that you go with Viator. Thanks for a wonderful day!
This tour was a real winner: prompt pick-up, a small group, and a really informed and insightful guide whose knowledge of history was an added bonus. Other than being able to spend a little longer at Pompeii and perhaps being able to choose something other than pizza for lunch, there is nothing I would want to improve.

This tour was fantastic! Pompeii was impressive and our guide was informative about all of the aspects of the event as well as daily life in Pompeii before the eruption of Vesuvius. The walk to the top of Vesuvius really made the day. The walk is relatively short, but has a few grades not suitable for everyone. But if you can handle the walk, don't miss the chance to do it.

Looking back now at our entire vacation, this tour from Naples was the highlight of our trip. It was definitely evident that our tour guide loved his job. This made the trip even more enjoyable. He was extremely informative, not to mention hilarious. He gave such a vivid description on how people lived in Pompeii 2,000 years ago. I would recommend this tour to ALL my family and friends!
