All good for ticketing, scanned through, very long day and you do rush through Pompeii but the guides are brilliant and lovely hour and a half in Positano - LL and Andreah were brilliant

It has been a very good experience, personally I would have liked 30 minutes more in Pompeii to explore but I understand we have an itinerary. The visit to Positano was like icing on the cake.

I think it would have been easier for us to do Pompeii at the beginning of the day as it's very tiring. The rest is more relaxed, so it's perfect for the rest of the day. Thank you

This experience is perfect if you want to to spend a day to venture further afield from Rome. We got the chance to see Pompeii and to spend some time in the beautiful Sorrento. We weren't sure if we would have enough time in Pompeii but with the heat and lack of shade, we appreciated the time restraints and felt we had enough time in Pompeii. I'd highly recommend and it was the highlight of our trip.

I loved the experience of seeing so much in one day, Pompeii and Sorrento were breathtaking. However Personally I think you need to have less time spent in Sorrento and more foxus on Pompeii. I felt that we were only barely able to scratch the surface of Pompeii and the tour felt very rushed

I loved this trip, everything was so organised and our guide Rob (Roberto) was so lovely and funny! His story telling skills would draw you in!

The guided tour was well worth the price. Laura and Romel were excellent guides and really made the experience enjoyable. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars only because I expected a bit more from the Pompeii portion of the tour. That said, the overall experience was fabulous! The Amalfi Coast was absolutely stunning, and Laura even gave us small gifts and helpful tips on places to visit. A memorable and well-organized tour!

Barbara and Antonio were incredible, Barbara is such a great host we were so enthralled and had the best day! Her knowledge and the way she helped us all was amazing, for such a long day she kept her positivity and kindness to the end. Thank you! The sights were brilliant and tours and stops were fantastic.

Christian may be the best bus driver in the world! My guy has got skills, not only did he get us there and back I was so impressed I just had to tip him 20 Euro for a safe travel day! Mara was incredible, friendly and outgoing, she was extremely knowledgeable not only about destinations but sites along the way. She enhanced the ride by providing us music that was born from the locations she was telling us about giving us a deeper appreciation for the entire country of Italy and not just our paid destination spots! I would definitely recommend these two together if you're lucky enough to get them!

The transport to activity ratio was not acceptable. The trip to Sorrento was in our opinion unnecessary as our aim was visiting Pompeii - i.e. we drove in the wrong direction for too long. We would have preferred more time in Pompeii as we ended up only having two hours and our guide had initially from the beginning informed us that we would have four hours.

We choose the tour solely because it stated 3 hours in Pompeii. In total the stop was 2 hours and 15 min was gone because the guide had to collect the tickets so we ran around in 1.45 min trying to see some highlights my husband had wanted to see for over 40 years so quite a disappointment.

I did an extensive chat with your people WHILE on this tour. Your info said we would have 3 hrs in Pompeii; contracted tour operator said 1.5 hrs only. We waited far too long for people in Sorrento (45 mins before leaving w/o them) and then had to wait for the guide to return at Pompeii (45 mins) although he told us to be back at a certain time. So misguided. Never got "skip the line" tix, although prepaid. After doing extensive research for the tour with the most time in Pompeii were we were both extremely disappointed!!

Very good organization, bus on time and clean, nice bus driver. One stop each on the way there and back. We had only booked the bus trip with entrance tickets and still got good tips from the tour guide on board, as well as during the trip in English and Spanish. We hired an audio guide on site for 10 euros and off we went. About 3.5 hours on site!

Highly recommend this tour! The bus ride to and from was smooth and the staff are very kind. Samuel was the leader for my bus/tour and he was amazing. Stopped at a giftshop/cafe when we left Rome and on or way back. Very friendly and helpful. I got stuck in the store in Pompeii when we were supposed to leave and he went back to the site just to get me so I could find the bus and not be left! We had about four hours of time to walk around (I did not do a tour guide, I walked around freely) and I didn't see everything but it is a huge city so it's not a big deal. Very good experience and zero complaints!

Plenty of time to explore the site... We hadn't booked lunch or an audioguide, but it was flexible and we could add those extras on the day. Our guide was so friendly and helpful. We loved it!

First of all, thank you for this day. Even though it's over 600km from Rome, it was worth every effort. Seeing Pompeii is a highlight. Superbly preserved, you get a wonderful insight into Roman life. Via Appia Antica is an orphan compared to the roads here. The paintings are also very well preserved. The funniest thing we found was the 90 fast food stations for local residents. At first we were worried that we would only see a small corner in the two hours. But our local guide had a great route and we were able to see a lot. Vesuvius was much more stressful afterwards. You are chased up the mountain on a full stomach and have to be back down at a certain time. I can say one thing. We're not the least fit, but it was close. We were two minutes late. One criticism in passing. The restaurant for the toilet break is outrageously overpriced. From time to time the trip feels like a coffee run. But let's put that to one side, you can decide against it and not buy anything. The day was great and we would book it again and again.

Our guide was great. He was young and excited and his English was very good. Manuelo (?) was ideal to represent your company to a foreigner. It was a very full itinerary and the included lunch was delicious and FILLING!

I thought Pompeii was good and I would have liked to have had longer. It felt like we'd just touched on the story and didn't get to see any tombs apart from one. Also I thought we were going to walk up Vesuvius from the bottom to top not be driven up there to walk the last 20 minutes. Also we had to wait for our guide to translate into Spanish at each section because we had a couple who were Spanish whilst the rest of us were English. I'm sure we would have seen a lot more had this not been the case.

We booked Rome to Pompei and Vesuvio experience for the family of five. Everything went as scheduled. Our coordinator during the trip mentioned several interesting facts about Rome. In Pompei we had our own guide, same while climbing Vesuvio. BTW, our bus stopped by the shortest path to the top which was very convinient. I sincerely recommend this experience!

The Vesúvio tour was really good, and the guide was attentive. The Pompeii tour itself was good, but the guide was not a really good English speaker (we could understand the major part, but sometimes it was not possible to understand her). Eduardo - the general guide - was really sweet with us!

Everything went well and according to plan. Our Leader Guide was very friendly and thoughtful, always wanting to know if everything was alright with everyone - there was a older lady in our group that had issues dealing with the heat and tiredness, he made sure that everything went smoothly, both for that lady and for the rest of the group (safety and time management wise). He gave us very interesting information regarding relevant key points of the tour during our bus ride. At our stop at the marvellous and enormous ancient city of Pompey, we were accompanied by a lovely local Guide, who was very informative as well as very funny. After the visit to Pompey we went to lunch to a designated restaurant, the food was ok, nothing special but included. The drinks were not included as advertised, however the big glass bottle of water that we asked for came already opened and by its awful taste it was clearly water that it as been refilled and was probably store under the sun in a plastic container. Moreover the drinks were clearly overpriced. We stop drinking it and requested a new plastic bottle which was sealed. For the Vesuvius visit, we changed quickly and smoothly to a smaller and comfortable panoramic bus with a clear rooftop (provided shade). During the ride up to the Volcano with listen to an Audio Guide provided in 8 languages. After climbing 1000m up the mountain by bus, we got of the bus and made a brief hike with another local guide. He was very nice and informative, however had some trouble speaking in English - although it was more or less easy to understand. Our final stop before returning to Rome was a very quick visit to a Coral/Camos jewelry workshop/factory/store were they make pieces of jewellery with metal such as gold and silver combined with seashells - very pretty and especially expensive. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

Pompeii, a must. Our guides, Cristina and the local one, were magnificent, efficient, very kind, patient; 10 out of 10. The Vesuvius experience was a little short because, although it did not consist of going up to the crater, the explanations of the local guide left much to be desired. Still, it is well worth it to go up in the windowless bus with a driver as attentive as the one we had.

It was a small group, Cristina was a wonderful host, guides were welcoming, food at the restaurant was good, drinks and stuff (everywhere not only at the stops) are expensive, Pompeii and Vesuvius sites were ok, perhaps the publicity of the places created "over-expectations". Anyway is a place one should see in a lifetime and Green Line Tours showed it to us very lively. Thank you.
