Naples Shore Excursion: Naples City and Pompeii Half Day Sightseeing Tour

The tour guide was knowledgable but the group was too large at almost 40 people. It would've like the option to visit the museum since that is where the artifacts are kept.

This was a shared shore excursion. We started in a van of about 11 people (as we toured Naples) and then ended in a mini bus with about 20 people (as we toured Pompeii). The guide we had the entire day was amazing. Her English was perfect and she was very knowledgeable. The only trouble we had was in finding our driver upon disembarking from our ship in the morning. Our Disney ship was at one port but our ticket said to meet the driver at the main port. So we walked 1/2 mile to the main port and after waiting about 30 minutes, we received a phone call from the driver who said he was at the port where our ship had docked! He then drove to where we were waiting and all was well (thank goodness my sister in law had international cell service). It would have been much easier if instead of our ticket specifying which port to meet in, it simply said "in front of your ship".

Very good and educational trip. Great guide. Highly recommended!!

We're quickly learning that working with Viator is about as easy as it gets. The van was waiting for us when we were among the first dozen off the ship. This trip was the most complicated of the three we booked. We had a group of seven and the van seated a dozen. We picked up two more at the ship and another two en route. Getting out of the port is brutal. Too many vehicles and too little space...the disadvantage of a downtown port. We made a couple of fairly quick stops before the short drive to Pompeii. Our guide handed us off to another group of about 30, and the guide was excellent. Had excellent stories and her English was excellent. Did we mention it was HOT. Not sure if the natives died from the volcano or the heat. Be prepared. At the end of the tour we were instructed to go with others to a large bus which took us back to port. Not a problem but not what we thought we had purchased. We will definitely work with Viator again. Thanks.

Elise was a wonderful guide! We appreciated her knowledge very much! We were met by the driver who took us to the first stop, a beautiful church, where we met our guide. Her English was excellent. She's a very intelligent person and had loads of information. She led us through Pompeii like a pro and we learned so much. If you are traveling with kids or teens, this 1/2 day tour is perfect!

bit rushed through Naples, huge tour group in Pompeii

The tour was well organised our guide very informative and knowledgeable. The bus driver was very careful amongst erratic traffic. Pompeii was a huge place with lots of walking at times on uneven ground, wear flat comfortable shoes sunscreen and hat, take water. Toilets and washrooms were very crowded, had to line up, very inadequate for the amount of visitors. Pompeii was very thought provoking about how the people and animals lost their lives in such a devastating event, in a very advanced civilisation. Our guide told many interesting stories, and we would recommend a visit to this site. Naples is a very cosmopolitan crowded city lovely food and good coffee.
