What to expect

This history fest kicks off in style with a visit to Pompeii. You can still see the remains of the town, much of it more or less unchanged 2,000 years after it was buried under volcanic ash. After a guided tour and a light lunch, you'll then visit the summit of Mount Vesuvius. Alessio, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘On 24 August in 79AD, Vesuvius blew its top and covered Pompeii in ash and pumice. Accounts from the time say that the volcano had been showing signs of an imminent eruption for a few days, and fortunately many people had already evacuated the area.'

Because Pompeii remained buried in ash for so many centuries, you can still see the remarkable ruins of temples, villas and streets, seemingly frozen in time. It's one vast archaeological site, and new discoveries are still being made today. Alessio adds, ‘Pompeii is a site that evolves from month to month. Even for a guide like me, there's often something new to discover as parts of the site are opened or newly excavated.'

After a light lunch, you'll head up Vesuvius. As for the fiery mountain itself, this one's up alongside Krakatoa in the notoriety stakes – it's the only active volcano on mainland Europe, though the last eruption was in 1944. As you can imagine, the views from the top over the Bay of Naples and the city are phenomenal. Alessio says, ‘Some 600,000 people live near Mount Vesuvius, me included – it might seem a risky place to live but, for everyone's safety, the volcano is constantly monitored.'

    Dana, our guide and Filippo (so!) our driver were great. Because of the crowds I wonder if it might be helpful to have a high level marker/mascot for the guide to carry to make her easy to spot from a distance. Also, perhaps we could all wear a sticker to identify each other as part of the same tour group because with the number of tourists it is easy to lose the guide in the crowds. Just a thought. Thoroughly enjoyed the tours. The bad weather is out of anyone's hands unfortunately.

    Our guide Desire (I think that is how you spell it) was so knowledgeable and friendly and was always on hand to answer any questions that we had. We booked this trip as we wanted to visit both Pompeii and Vesuvius on the same day and I had no expectations for our lunch but it was lovely. The restaurant was near the bottom of Vesuvius and the staff were so warm and welcoming, the food was delicious and the free wine was a delight

    The content of the experience was very interesting and informative. The guide was clearly spoken and sloke English well. The only thing I would have liked to be included was at Pompeii. It would have been interesting to see where they are unearthing new parts of the town but I realise this is probably out of your control.

    Guide around Pompei was too detailed. Took far too long to give us micro information and then asking if people had questions. With only 2 hours on site we wastes 30mins amd it was disappointing to see so little. Lunch was nice but we had to wait 40mins for any food. Time better spent at Pompei to have some free time. Vesuvius was spectacular. All travel was good and not too lengthy.

    2 hour pomeii part didn't see much at all. Maybe because it was a busy Sunday. But the entrance we used was just seeing 2 kitchens, baths and a court yard. The lunch took 1hour and 30mins. 1 hour waiting. Then eventually made it to Mount Vesuvius at 2.35pm. But the tour guide said be back down at 4pm. It takes 30mins up and 30mins down. Felt like we had 10-15mins on top. I wouldn't recommend this package. I would recommend 2 days seperate for both areas. At least then you can do more in pomeii

    The bus was late so had a knock on effect for the rest of the day.There was no time for refreshments at Pompeii. Our guide Johnny was fantastic but not enough time. The food and staff at the restaurant were fantastic. again it felt rushed and we nearly left someone behind. Again Vesuvius felt rushed and no time for refreshment. There were 2 TUI bussed for the same excretion and 1 couple got on the wrong bus. It was a good trip just a shame everything felt rushed.
