Pompeii Experience - We truly enjoyed our visit to Pompeii. The archeological excavation was magnificent. Just to be walking along the roads from so long ago was an incredible experience. Our guide Vessia was fun and enlightened us with the history from the Greeks and Romans. She was a great wealth of knowledge. We are so grateful that the company used audio earpieces. It was much easier to hear all of the information due to the summertime number of people/crowds as we anticipated. Thankful we had the opportunity to see it all.

Very informative. - We were picked up on time from right outside our hotel with an air conditioned minibus as promised (which was very much appreciated in the heat!). We were dropped off at Pompeii and taken to our designated spot to meet our guide (Eliza), where we were provided with an earpiece to hear her clearly throughout the tour. She gave us a little time to use the toilet and get a few drinks before starting so we could make the most of our time inside the ruins. Once in, she began giving us facts about the ruins with some humour. Although the tour was 2 hours long, it felt like nothing as we were so caught up with her facts and storytelling that it was impossible to not lose track of time. After the tour, we had an opportunity for pictures which was very much appreciated and she guided us back out to where we would be picked up. We were then driven back and dropped back to our hotel. A very interesting yet stress-free day out, thanks so much.

On time - Pick up from the port to Pompeii and back. Guide was good we had several families with children so the tour was tone down compared to one we did in the past. Not the tour fault. Are guide was good but one thing we had an hour from the time the tour ended to bus pick up. We would have liked to know that so we would send more time in Pompeii.

Long Wait - Once we got to Pompeii, the actual tour was fine, but we waited at the meeting point in the coach for 45 min to accommodate late comers. Also far too many people on our tour.
