Excellent Tour. Eduardo was flexible with itinerary, took us to places he thought we might like since it was extremely hot and we decided to only see Pompeii and the Winery. Both locations were fantastic. Fantastic food and wine. Very interesting facts about the winery. We asked to stop for local parties on the way to the train and Eduardo was spot on. Thanks for a great day
Salvatore was an amazing guide and waiting for us as we departed our ship. He first brought us to Pompeii for a tour of the site which was awesome. Then we headed to lunch at a vineyard and tour. With extra time to spare, Salvatore was able to take us to two spots on our way back; a drive through a town with sentimental value with ancestral ties and his favorite spot for a piece of Naplolitano pizza which was a must for us. Fantastic day with a fantastic guide! We will definitely book again!
This was not what we expected. Turned out to be a private driver to Pompeii once there we were own our own to get in line to pay for admission and get in line again to get an audio guide. The audio guide was not very helpful Recommend you just get a guided tour After Pompeii we went to lunch at the hillside winery This was very nice We believe we were to be taken to Vesuvius and one other attraction either stop. When we told the driver we would skip Vesuvius but wanted to go to Herculanum The driver insisted we had to pay an additional 40 Euros to go there We said no. So basically all we got was a driver to take us to Pompeii to drop us at the entrance and take us to the lunch on the way back Rather expensive at $400 We are convinced there are much better values and experiences to be had. Really can't recommend this tour
