Guide was fine, but maybe not the most professional-looking. Got to see a bit of Naples, including a vista over the whole city, a plaza and coffee shop, and an important church. Group kept getting bigger as we went, and by the time we picked everyone up for Pompeii, the size was almost unmanageable 32 people I think?. We did have headsets to hear the guide, but the side of the group was a little disappointing. Pompeii itself is very much worth seeing and our guide did a great job of explaining everything. There was an uncomfortable point when she was yelling at other independent tourists for cutting ahead of us in line. To be fair to the others, it was not clearly a line... But the tour guide seemed to be prejudiced against foreigners she made a point of how rude these Argentinians were, as some Italians skipped ahead of us as well as I said, it wasn't clearly a line of people waiting and she was considerably nicer to them. Very awkward and unpleasant. Unprofessional to do in front of your tour group when you're on mic. Apart from that moment, though, the tour was good and I would recommend it. Transport was fine. Asked to get dropped off at the Archeological Museum on the way back and enjoyed that as well.

For us this Pompeii tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy, and we highly recommend it. It was fascinating to glimpse the life of this once-thriving city now in ruins with views of Mt. Vesuvius in the background, and our tour guide was excellent.

This adventure was great. Pompeii was amazing and much more than I expected. Our guide Elisa was awesome. She was easy to understand, answered all our questions, and was always pleasant. This is a must do trip!!!

I learned a lot of things on this tour, and they were all really interesting, but the format of the tour nearly ruined the experience. The Naples half of the tour was fine, but the Pompeii half felt haphazard and disorganized. My tour guide was speaking on the phone on our ride to Pompeii, sounding like there were people missing from our tour. She became very agitated and started shouting, which I found unprofessional. The group was large, around 40 people, and we used radio headsets, which I was not expecting. At the end, the group was split into 3 according to next destinations. This took them nearly half an hour to sort out.

The Pompeii tour was very informative. The Naples portion was very short and could have been done better. The tour guide did not tell us about certain streets we should visit, about local Naples food such as the Baba, and other Naples-centric things that I don't know about. We saw a select few sites, but even though there wasn't time, we could have been told about Napoleaton things during the drive to Pompeii. Also, if I would have known that the tour guide was going to speak three different languages to the different sets of people on the tour, I would have selected a different tour. I think this ate up the time that she could have been talking about more things in English.

First half was a bit messy - didn't see much of city and were told we only had time for 10 mins in Cathedral due to late pick ups but then had coffee which could have been left out. Pompeii was brilliant though .

Our tour guide was fantastic. She was an expert and one of the best. Unfortunately I can not remember her name, i think it was Elisa or Eloisa and she was multilingual and very intelligent.

This tour was very good. The tour guide was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable about Pompeii. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was I thought we'd get a bit more of a bus tour of Naples. We did visit a cathedral and got more information on the way to Pompeii. Everything went very smoothly and was most enjoyable.

The tour guide was great and informative
Review by: Laura E, January 2017
Guide was very entertaining and informative. A little confusing at times with some ppl doing only certain parts of the tour and picking up others. Should recommend to bring lunch if doing both parts of the tour. Very rushed at the end of Pompeii - would have been great to have more time there.

We loved our tour guide, I think her name was Leeza or Eliza sorry that I forgot. She was fabulous and spoke at least 5 languages on our tour. We had a small tour of just 8 people. We toured Naples first and since she was a local, she was so knowledgeable. Then we went to Pompeii. I was glad we did not go in the hot summer busy season. She looked after us so well we loved it.

Quick overview of Naples and guided trip to Pompei. It took half day, there was also an option to see Vesuvio but we were short on time. Scope of trip as described and exactly what we needed. Tour provider has a lot of tourists to take care, so logistics are a bit hectic. If you loose the group, they might not wait for you until final counting people in return bus.

Excellent tour guide and driver. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Our tour guide, Elisa, was very knowledgeable. But except for one church, we didn't really see any of Naples City, it was really more of a being picked up at Naples and a Pompeii tour, so I think the title of this tour is a little misleading. The Pompeii tour was great though, our tour guide was very well informed.

A very well organized and informative tour. The guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I would recomment this tour.
Review by: ElmaGD, June 2016
Well organized tour allowing us to see Naples Cathedral and the Panoramic places for ourselves early... It was almost like we had Naples must visit places all to ourselves to enjoy for the first leg...then we transferred to Pompeii with a new group. Maria our guide was great!!
