What people are saying about House of the Tragic Poet

We were picked up promptly by out driver Gennaro at 7.30 from our hotel and then drove around Naples picking up other guests, then off to Pompeii. Expert driving around the congested street of Naples! Our tour guide nuncio kept us informed on the journey with a narrative on the road, then in Pompeii we joined a larger group for excellent (if compact- we will need to go back to see the amphitheatre!) walk around. Swift lunch near Vesuvius, and then about an hour and a half to climb to the top (30 minute walk); have a look round and head back to the coach. Home around 4.30. Would thoroughly recommend- slick outfit and excellent guiding. Food (margarita pizza) was as expected, and meal included drink and lemon tart dessert.

Gabriel and Genaro were an amazing team! Gabriel was so funny and friendly. It was awesome not to worry about logistics and spend our time enjoying Pompeii and Vesuvius. Lunch was also delicious!

The tour guide and bus driver Gabriel and Gennaro were very friendly and funny. The tour was super organized. We got very nice impressions. I highly recommend this tour

Excellent day tour with amazing views of Mount Vesuvius and excellent informative walk in Pompeii.

Wish there would also be a bit more free time, but overall was fantastic.
