Lots to see - Great historical overview of both sites. Interesting to learn they were both seaside towns, now miles from the seaside. Lots of interesting information from the guides. Both places were very hot, so take water.

Great day, great guide! - Great day in very hot conditions, expertly managed by our guide Cynthia who looked after us all day. Probably not a trip for very young people but fantastic to see the sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Great trip - awesome tour guide Cinzia - We enjoyed a modern air-conditioned bus with the pick-up directly at the hotel, a marvellous trip down history lane with our witty tourguide Cinzia, who shared her immense knowledge throughout the trip. Especially in Pompeii the „skip the line“ entry was a real advantage. The local lunch was also very tasty. We suggest to bring water, an umbrella or hat for the sun and sun screen. Mille grazie Cinzia, la giornata ci è piaciuta molto, grazie anche al nostro autista fantastico 😊

Great learning experience - Great experience learned a lot. Skip the line was worth it! Herculaneum was a suprising gem. Was along say but not too tiring

Memorable and Thought Provoking - We enjoyed seeing both sites. Nice smaller group, informative guide who made a point of keeping a head count Lunch was just ok but tasty. Of all the tours we've taken, these headsets were the least effective. They are a one piece unit that did not stay on many peoples' ear and the reception is spotty and not long range.

Disappointed - Did not see some of the main sites so was a little disappointed especially when visiting Her ulaneum when the guide rushed us and did not take us to the part all travellers were upset about - the area where the skeletons were

Not worth the cost - The slights were good but the communication for pick up was very poor! When it turned up it was a TUI tour and it’s much cheaper through them! The food was horrendous The guide was very knowledgeable but it was a lot of information that didn’t seem necessary.
