Pompeii Guided Tour & Lunch with Superior Wine Tasting

Nice small group size. Tour guide fantastic. Wine and amount of food was great value. Winery was beautiful

We had Fabrizio for the Pompeii tour and he was wonderful! I’m so glad we did a guided tour. Two hours was just enough time there before lunch, but we would love to come back to spend all day at the ruins. Lunch and wine tasting at Quirinoli was perfect. All the wines were great and paired well with the food, which was delicious. Our second winery was less personal and seemed to run more like a restaurant. They didn’t explain the wines and didn’t really interact with us, except for a very friendly younger man who was working there. I was impressed by the coordination of everything, as all of us for the Pompeii ruins tour had different afternoon activities planned. Fabrizio got us all on our separate ways and our drivers made sure we got going from point A to point B seamlessly. It was so smooth, we didn’t have to think about it at all. Before I booked this tour, I read the reviews and had a heads up that one winery may not be the best time, but this was our only opportunity to visit some wineries during our quick trip in Italy and I wanted to make the most of it. Our time at Quirinoli was so good that we would have been satisfied doing only that, so if you are deciding between this tour with one or two winery visits like I was, you’ll be set with just the one. I would give this overall tour 4.5 stars, but it would be 5 stars if the experience at the second winery was more fun.

Had the best experience touring beautiful wineries and trying delicious wines from the vineyards. The Pompeii tour was amazing, and being able to learn so much about the area and see so much for the value was perfect!

This experience was incredible. Our tour guide clearly loved history and art and was deeply knowledgeable about the Pompeii ruins. The tour ran on time. The tour guide made the whole tour. She was witty and well-seasoned in her work. The wineries that we stopped at were the icing on the cake. Particularly Quirinoli was one of our favorite experiences of the entire Italy trip. The host - Lorenzo was hilarious and warm and authentic. We loved him so much and his charm and his vibe set the tone for the best part of the entire excursion. The Somalia gave us heavy pours of the smoothest crispest wine we have ever tasted. We are already planning to buy and ship his wine (and the Meloncello) to our home to continue to enjoy. The second winery was lovely and lively. Everyone was welcoming and the views were unparalleled. But the gem of the whole experience was Lorenzo and Quirinoli.

We started the day with a fantastic tour of Pompeii. Our guide was amazing – incredibly skilled at bringing history to life and making the experience engaging and memorable. Being in a small group of just 11 people was also a big plus, making the tour feel more personal and relaxed. After the tour, we continued with wine tastings. The first stop was absolutely wonderful – breathtaking views of Mount Vesuvius, delicious wine and food, and a sommelier who was truly passionate about his craft. A moment we’ll remember for a long time. Unfortunately, the second wine tasting didn’t quite meet our expectations. It was a bit disorganized, with little follow-up or attention, which slightly dampened the overall impression at the end of the day. That said, it was still a perfect day filled with highlights and lasting memories. Highly recommended – though some improvement at the final tasting would make it even better.

Lalla was an absolutely amazing guide and so knowledgeable about Pompei. She answered all the questions our group threw at her and did a great job of managing all the personalities in our group. We go to see so many areas of the Pompei site thanks to Lalla’s precise info.

Lovely day! Pompeii was incredibly informative and the wineries were beautiful . Plenty of food offered, you won’t leave hungry, and the wine was fantastic.

Trip all went smoothly- excellent organisation and communication. Pompeii was phenomenal and lasted the right amount of time- our guide Miriam was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Obviously you can’t see it all in one visit and so definitely will return. Our visit to the first vineyard was just perfect after the heat of Pompeii. It was a small organic vineyard and Lorenzo was a delight regaling us with wonderful facts and stories as well as supplying us with superb food. An added bonus was having time over lunch to chat with the others in our group - lovely people. We then had another easy transfer to the second vineyard. My group did not enjoy this so much as it was a much larger, more commercial, operation which lacked the personal touch. We just felt like numbers being put through a process. However have to compliment our guide who worked hard going between three languages in his explanations. We were then transported back to Naples.

Good way to see the ruins without spending a whole day. The wine tastings provided a good way to see the highlights of the ruins while also getting out of the afternoon heat. All of the wineries we visited were excellent.

We were less than impressed with this experience. The process to purchase the right tickets to enter Pompeii was not clear at all. Pick up from our hotel was confusing. The tour of Pompeii started late and felt rushed. The first winery was lovely but we were there much longer than we should have been. The second winery wasn’t as pleasant and we didn’t feel as welcomed. Our driver told us to be ready for pick up at 4:00 pm and they were late by 40 minutes. Very disappointing experience for our last day of our trip. Overall, I thought it was extremely overpriced and a let down.
