“Really entertaining and I feel I have learnt a lot.”
Archaeologist-led small group trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum with skip-the-line tickets, headsets, and included train or minibus transport.
“This tour felt very rushed, I love the headphones so we can hear the guide but he was so fast we lost connection many times. Lunch at the mall killed the vibe of being in an amazing archeological site and was poor to say the least, would recommend staying in the Pompeii are for food or extra time to explore, suggest packing picnic lunch. This could have been an amazing experience but sadly fell short of capturing the historical magic.”
Archaeologist-led small-group walk through Herculaneum ruins with skip-the-line entry and headsets. About 2 hours, English only.

“Great tour with an awesome guild. If you’re like me the only thing is that you’ll want them to improve is more time in both places. 10/10”
A fast, well-run Naples day trip to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Vesuvius. Transport, skip-the-line tickets, and an audio guide included.
“A great day trip, the transport was good and the guides sorted out the groups quickly and easily. The 3 places were great to visit and i really enjoyed the day. if you wanted more time at Pompeii you can maybe just book for Pompeii as you only get a couple of hours there but the trip is definitely worth doing and I had a great day.”
Walk the preserved streets of Herculaneum with an entry ticket and optional audio guide, a quieter alternative to Pompeii in Campania.
“Herculaneum its self is a must see. We got there early to avoid the crowds and it was definitely worth it. Audio guide through the app was not the best and we turned it off after 10 minutes.”
A smooth Naples day trip to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Mt. Vesuvius with onboard stories, included Vesuvius entry, and extra time to explore.
“Very good tour and good driver specially if you are short of time and need to combine many sights in one day. Pompeii is very big so I had to rush to see it but I also wanted to see Vesuvius park and Herculaneum on the same day so this tour really met my expectations. I recommend it.”
A full-day Naples trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum with guided tours and lunch, plus UNESCO ruins with volcanic preservation and real-life details.

“This was a great excursion even though the last stop was mostly closed. More time in Amalfi would have been great, less time in Rovello.”
Walk Herculaneum with AR smart glasses, see 3D overlays of lost temples and homes from 79 AD, and use skip-the-line entry.
“Great fun to see the virtual displays overlayed on the actual ruins. It took a little while to figure out the glasses - fun to turn your head around and get a full 360 degree view. Lovely guide who spoke perfect English and she switched to Spanish for another couple when needed. Could have spent much longer here. Recommend visiting here then going to Pompeii, as it’s a smaller group, less crowded so you have plenty of time to ask questions.”

“The audio was hard to work because it didn’t work in the order I needed. It was however informative. I liked the freedom of an audio tour & doing the site on my own. Cheers Cheryl”
