What people are saying about Villa of the Mysteries

Fantastic day. The driver was excellent. He met us in Naples, took us to Vesuvius, an excellent restaurant for lunch, Pompeii, and then back to Naples. He was pleasant, helpfully answered our questions, and pointed out interesting sites along the way. We arrived everywhere on time. The van was clean and comfortable. He deserves five stars. The guide at Pompeii was also excellent. She gave us an exceptionally informative and entertaining tour. She was articulate, engaging, and knowledgable. She deserves five stars. The local company was also very helpful and professional. Its representative quickly responded to my messages confirming the time and place of pick up and even had the driver meet us on the platform at the train station. The local company deserves five stars. The local company representative, the driver, the guide, and the driver all spoke good English. We would happily work again with the same local company, driver, and guide.

The history and architecture of Pompeii were fascinating but Mount Vesuvius was definitely the highlight for us! A fairly easy 30 minute hike to the top of the crater with spectacular views in all directions. There is a souvenir shop at the end where you can buy trinkets and enjoy a glass of wine or a beer from the top. Our chauffeur Guido helped make for a special day. He was friendly and informative and provided some very useful tips.

Perfect way to see Vesuvio and Pompeii in one day. We also booked a lunch at a wine farm which were amazing. Both driver and guide were superb. All in all a great day.

Our tour guides/driver were very friendly and knowledgeable. Went out of their way to ensure we had a good time

Excellent tour. Seamless execution and very insightful. The lunch was good, the tour was excellent.
