This was a GREAT trip. We absolutely loved it! Pompeii was amazing. Our guide was excellent; he was knowledgable and very funny. His Italian accent was not too thick, but he did speak with his hands - a lot. Mt. Vesuvius was amazing as well. The hike to the summit took some time -- you have to be in some sort of shape to make the hike -- but the crater was wonderful and the view was breathtaking. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat.

This trip did not disappoint. It was awesome. Our guide was passionate about history and how it relates to all of us living right here right now. He was intelligent, sensitive, and entertaining. He was engaging. Learned a great deal about Pompeii. We were a small group and all questions were heard and answered. Lunch was fabulous, delicious pizza, a bottle of wine and a bottle of water -- perfect. Then we drove to Vesuvius and climbed to the top, about 45 min to an hour round trip. It was great! Our driver was courteous and attentive. I would definitely recommend this tour. We were picked up and dropped off at the train station, which was very convenient for us. Professional, efficient, and caring! Thanks very much!

Awesome tour, I really got a great understanding of the old culture. The only drawback was that the man picking me up from Naples showed no ID and just asked me to get into his car.

This was very well worth it. Pompeii was extremely interesting. My mother even liked it a little better than Rome, which she also loved. Both my parents -- at 67 and nearly 72 -- made it to the top of Mt. Vesuvius, so they were pretty proud. It was nice being in a smaller group like this. The meal that was part of the tour was pretty mediocre; it would've been better if we found something on our own instead.
