My grandson and I took a lesiurly trip to Naples to pick up other passengers and then proceded to Pompeii. I was amazed at how it has changed since the last time I was here five years ago. From 1 stand selling cameos to a bunch of businesses selling everything. The tour was was well structured and Andrea was very animated and kept us moviing. He knew all the short cuts and moved us into the heart of the various ruins to provide us with up close contact with the various antiquities to see. There was time for picture taking and discussions. I wish I had more time. I want to go back.
We had an amazing day! Andy was a GREAT tour guide! He was very professional, knowledgeable and fun. We had no worries in regards to getting back to our cruise ship on time. We can not wait to go back and would use Viator again. We would also request Andy again as well.
Tour guides were great, very enthusiastic and interesting. Prompt in leaving and returning to ship. Lunch was excellent.
Pompeii is amazing. Our guide, Andrew, was extremely knowledgable and ready to answer all questions.
Can't fault it. Guides, driver, vehicle, punctuality all very good.
Excellent! Loved our guides, both were very funny and knowledgeable. Had a great time!
We were there on June 20, 2011. This was an excellent excursion at a very good price. The tour guide was extraordinary. We were picked up at our cruise ship dock on time and taken to Pompeii for a very informative tour. Not rushed at all. Pizza lunch was delicious, then a tour to the top of Vesuvius. Taken back to cruise ship dock on time. We would highly recommend this tour
Our travel guide was amazing-very thorough and entertaining. He gave us a great tour of Pompeii, even though it was extremely crowded. I wish the Vesuvious part had been a bit longer ( our was only 30min). We were picked up and dropped off on time and the driver was right where we were told he would be. Overall, I would recommend this company and the tour guide we had.
Guide was excellent. Trip to Mt Vesuvius was excellent also. Having been to Pompeii before, I do believe a section was missed. The baths section and a few others that had awesome frescoes on the walls. Not having a guide the previous trip I was looking forward to going back and seeing them again and having an explanation about the rooms and artwork. When I inquired about it, I was told it was closed. I find that hard to believe.
Very good, on time, Excellent guide, great lunch break, would do it again.
Apart from slow start (unsure about exact location of pick up as arrived 15 mins before, as advised, but noone to meet us. Minibus arrived at set time - all turned out ok) Trip went very well. Guide (Andre) was very good and very knowledgable of Pompeii. Good food arranged but expected more choice or maybe even a pizza option. Transport was good to various locations. Climb to Mt Vesuvius was intense (as not very fit) but we went at a quick pace in order to spend longer admiring the views.
Definitely a trip I would recommend to others.
There was a little confusion at pick up since they had the wrong persons name on the pick up sheet. The gentleman at the local tour place worked it out. Other then that, the tour was fantastic! Our guide Andre was very informative and kept the tour moving. Lunch was provided and was also good. This tour is perfect for someone on a cruise ship with limited time and wanting to do more then one site.
Tour guides was prompt and organized. The only negative--we wish he'd used a microphone with earphones so that we could hear him and keep up with him. One person monopolized him with questions and it turned into a personalized tour just for her, which meant less information shared with the remaining paying customers.
Collected by private car from cruise dock at Naples but then had to wait over 30 minutes to be reunited with coach tour after being told that we would only be waiting 2 minutes. Tour round Pompeii was informative but tour guide had a very strong italian accent which was hard to follow. We explained that we had to be back at the cruise dock no later than 5.30pm or we would miss our ship, booking instructions were never passed on!! We reminded them again when we stopped for a pizza lunch as we felt that it was extremely leisurely considering the time restraints. Vesuvius was magnificent although we were left to our own devices. No tour or management. A majority of tour did not climb the volcano which is not for the feint hearted. We were told it would take 30 minutes to go up and 20 minutes to come down. We regularly swim and go to the gym and managed 17 minutes up and 10 minutes down. Our 18 year old 6ft 4 water polo playing son did it in 12 minutes up and 10 minutes down!! After getting to the bottom our tour organisers waited for an hour whilst the drivers sat around eating icecreams! We were getting extremely worried by this stage as it was obvious it was going to be a close thing as to whether we got there in time for our ship. Eventually the mini bus dropped us off a mile away from the cruise dock at 5.30pm!! We ran the whole way dodging through traffic in temperatures exceeding 27C. I am 47 my husband 56 and recently had a cartilage operation. Luckily another tour group were delayed or ship would have sailed. Would never use again, very poor value!
