Our tour leader Carmine was very knowledgeable and funny. He was able to answer all questions we had and made sure that we were all comfortable and present. Our driver Alfredo was very passionate about his city and his country, bringing knowledge and enthusiasm to our experience. He turned the tour from a tour to an experience that was incredibly enjoyable.

Great day out well organised by Tour leader Carmine. Comfortable transportation with a very competent driver Alfredo. Both were very entertaining Alfredo even led a sing song. The tour of Pompeii led by Mario was really interesting and informative. Dinner was a very enjoyable meal with two course and a drink. Good supply of water on the minibus Vesuvius was very hot but so glad we took the time to complete the climb. Would suggest you take a good size water bottle. Met some lovely people on the tour too. All together a really great experience
Thank you so much for this fantastic and detailed review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a great day out with us. It sounds like you experienced the perfect mix of history, adventure, and wonderful company!
A fantastic trip for those who want to visit Pompeii and learn many interesting facts about it. We were picked up at a convenient location, and Salvatore, friendly and engaging, made every effort to provide us with engaging and accessible information about Naples, Pompeii, and Mount Vesuvius. We had lunch at a beautifully located Italian restaurant, where we could sample local flavors. Driver Marco accompanied us throughout the day. Thanks to his experience and professionalism, we arrived safely at each stage of the journey. We sincerely thank you and highly recommend him!
Thank you so much for the fantastic review!

Pompeii is very impressive! I loved it! The lunch was fine... and they charged my phone as a courtesy since I had a problem and it turned off due to low battery. Mount Vesuvius was good. But honestly, I do not recommend it at this time of year... too hot. It has some very beautiful views, but I was not that impressed by the crater itself... Perhaps if the order were reversed, going up to the crater early in the morning and then visiting Pompeii... Both guides were great, Mery explaining everything on the bus and coordinating, and Teresa in Pompeii. I recommend it 100%!!
¡Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia con tanto detalle! Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaste de la impresionante Pompeya y que nuestro equipo pudo darte esa mano extra cargando tu teléfono cuando más lo necesitabas; para nosotros, esos pequeños detalles de cortesía marcan la diferencia. Mery y Teresa estarán encantadas de recibir tus felicitaciones por su excelente coordinación y sus explicaciones. Tomamos muy buena nota de tu sugerencia sobre el orden del itinerario. El calor del verano en el Vesubio puede ser realmente intenso y entendemos perfectamente que la subida al cráter se haga más pesada a esas horas. Es un consejo muy valioso que analizaremos internamente con el equipo de operaciones para ver cómo podemos optimizar la experiencia en esta época del año. ¡Gracias por elegir WorldTours y por recomendarnos al 100%! Esperamos volver a verte en tu próxima aventura.
It was too hot to climv Mt Vesuvius. From 1-4 pm the heat in June is Brutal.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We are truly sorry the extreme heat impacted your experience and kept you from comfortably reaching the top. We always advise our guests to bring plenty of water and sun protection, but the Italian summer sun is a force of its own. We hope you were still able to enjoy the rest of your day with us, and we really appreciate you sharing this reality check for future travelers. Safe travels!
