Anna the guide was amazing. So knowledgeable and nice. Luca the driver took us safely back and forth. Meeting point was easy to reach as the tube station is very close
Great tour, comfortable bus, knowledgeable tour operators. I highly recommend this tour. It’s worth visiting
Great guide Natascia with City Wonders. Very informative on the bus explaining the day and also fun facts. Air conditioning on bus was great. Guided tour at Pompeii was informative. Great 3 course lunch. Mt Vesuvius hike had great views at top. After had a surprise limoncello tasting. Took bathroom breaks both ways. Highly recommend!!
Fabio was an excellent guide. He made sure we saw all the highlights and more. He was fantastic at sharing knowledge and making sure everyone was ok! We would highly recommend this tour
Fabio was an excellent guide!! He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Especially with finding the shady spots in the sun. We even got to see a part that is currently being excavated. Fabio made sure we didn’t miss any highlight. Having a guide made our experience much better. Thankyou Fabio! The transfer from Rome was simple and great. We would book again
Fabrizio is a fantastic tour guide. We had a great time throughout the whole trip, he shared a lot of interesting facts, and it was clear that he truly loves what he does. Roberto is an excellent driver. We felt safe with him both on the narrow roads and on the motorway. Despite the short amount of time, Elena did an excellent job as well.
We had a fantastic day out. From pick up to drop off Fabrizio was knowledgeable and entertaining. He gave us so much information. At Pompei, Elena took us through the main highlights, it was busy but she knew all the places to go and she kept us in the shade as much as possible, she was knowledgeable and so funny. Lunch was lovely, starter, pizza and dessert. Climbing Vesuvius was brilliant, the views on the climb up were incredible. You have approx. 1hr 45mins to get to the top and back down - this was more than enough time for us. There are stops along the way, you can even have a Limoncello at the top! Great for friends and families alike. Would definitely book with CityWonders again! Thanks to Roberto for driving us and keeping us safe!
Great way to see a quick overview of Pompei and the volcano. Our local guide at pompei was mumbling into the mic so it was a little difficult to understand what he was saying but overall it was a fun experience!
John our tour guide was great! Added to the experience!!
Thank you John 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 !
