We visited Sorrento as a family in October 2019 (2 adults, 2 teens). We booked this tour only two days before we arrived - specifically to wait until we knew it would be a clear day (recommend this as it will make all the difference to the Vesuvius climb). Bus pick-up was great. Our hotel was high in the hills, so we had to walk 5-10 minutes to the pick-up point on the main road, which was not a problem. Collection was on time and we headed off to Pompeii. Vincenzo was our guide and the tour started once we were all aboard the bus, so no time wasted and plenty of background information provided before you even arrive at Pompeii. It would be very tempting not to take a guided tour of Pompeii to save money, however, the 2-hour tour of Pompeii is sufficient, not rushed, but takes you around some key areas of the site and provides excellent information. Our teens were thoroughly engaged and we felt like we had seen all the best bits by the time we left. Two hours was probably enough in the heat (particularly for the children), but you could easily spend all day in Pompeii. I recommend you take the affordable lunch option offered. The food was good quality, service was excellent and the price was probably the best we experienced all holiday (€14pp)! Well worth it.
The tour was kept on time expertly by Vincenzo, but without rushing. We headed off to Vesuvius and again, excellent information provided throughout the journey, so that by the time you arrive at the National Park, you just need to climb/walk and enjoy. Incredible views of Naples bay, a challenging walk, but perfectly achievable by anyone with a pair of working legs! The views are worth it when you reach the top.
This tour includes all tickets/ entry fees. Only added extra is the optional lunch, so watch out for cheaper tour options as many of them do not include tickets which can add up, particularly for a family of four. Journey back went super-quick and we were dropped off at the end of our hotel road bang on time. A thoroughly fantastic day out. Vincenzo was EXCELLENT - very professional and knowledgeable and kept the tour running on time all day. Thank you.

This tour is excellent by all standards. Jessica, our guide has a masters degree in archaeology, which certainly added to the experience. This small group tour had all the feel of a private tour, punctual pick-up, luxury transfer in a private car, knowledgeable and trained guide. It was prefect! Thank you, Jessica!!!
