An excellent excursion. Picked up on time in a spotless Mercedes van by our very pleasant driver and driven to Pompeii. Our tour of Pompeii could not have been better. Our guide Paolo was very knowledgeable, keen to provide the tour that best suited us and endlessly patient with all our questions. A great tour and would highly recommend it.

The guide Ricardo was so helpful with recommendations and so informative. Was clearly extremely passionate about the topic and so respectful of others around. The whole day was perfect.

Perfect way to discover the city (I took both the blue and red routes) so much to see, the staff were super friendly and the buses were always on time!

Bad organization on site. We had time slot 11:30am Waited in queue until 12:30pm.
