Serge our guide and Roberto the driver were most welcoming upon arrival Serge our guide gave relevant information while adding a little humor. The Pompei site and the ascent of Vesuvius are worth it. For lunch it was hearty and delectable all accompanied by local wines. An imperishable memory

Votre souvenir impérissable est pour nous la plus belle récompense. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous faire découvrir encore bien d’autres merveilles de notre belle région. À très bientôt avec Napoli City Vision ! Toute l’équipe vous remercie chaleureusement.
Absolutely poor service from both viator and discovery Naples/ Naples city vision. Me and my partner were left by driver at entrance to mt Vesuvius with no valid tickets. We paid 15 euros for each ticket (officially 11+ pounds) but didn’t get to see mt Vesuvius. Viator and local agency were contacted immediately absolutely poor response. I sincerely wouldn’t recommend this tour. It was my birthday and they spoilt it.
Dear, we are so sorry to hear your bad feedback. The morning of the tour we bought 2 tickets for Vesuvius and sent it to your telephone. At the moment the driver left you to Vesuvius entrance we don't know what happened. I sent you again the 2 tickets for the entrance but we do know why you didn't entered Discovery Naples Staff.
Good Pompeii tour, lunch was okay, trip up and down Vesuvius was great with a driver that made it super fun by singing to a very good 70's classic rock play list. He also gave us a great back roads tour of his home town. Oh yeah, the hike up Vesuvius was a challenge in the heat but well worth it.
