Customer Reviews
The tour guides were excellent both Jasmine at Pompeii and Francesco with coordinating stops. A few descriptions of the tour warrant corrections. This is not a guided tour up Mt Vesuvius which the current description would lead you to believe. The lunch at vineyard is not on Mt Vesuvius which is stated in the description and is close to Pompeii. The wine tasting service and lunch was still great at Il Giardino Dei Sensi Pompeii.
