Our trip to Pompeii was very good. Info on bus journey to Pompeii interesting and well minded and guided by guide in site. The only criticisms were 1 - it was hard to know which bus was ours at the central meeting point in the Bus park in Sorrento 2 - the headphones were hard to hear the info on while going around Pompeii for the first half of the excursion, then complaints meant they switched to fix to a different channel, which worked better. Bring lots of water and hats / umbrellas as it's really hot there with very little shelter. Well worth doing.

Our guide and driver were excellent. There was a lot of traffic which delayed our trip. The bus was a half hour late getting to our pick up spot. This caused us to be late for our afternoon excursion to Capri. Better planning for traffic is needed

Tour guide very knowledgeable - maybe too in depth for those that wanted to see more vs less and in depth. My paperwork had 15 minutes earlier and we arrived 15 min before that so we waited 30 min in the hot sun for the bus. Confusion for the bus people if entrance was included - The guide goes and buys the tickets after collecting cash on the bus. I had read that it wasn’t so I bought tickets online And was able to meet up with him. He had to spend a lot of bus time doing paperwork since there were last minute changes. There was also way too many people - 45 people. Too many to fit in the rooms or see the smaller exhibits as our guide is explaining. Lots of other tours and our guide did a good job of going around them. Bus driver and bus was great.

Pompeii is a must see if you're in this part of Italy! The half day tour gives a glimpse into life long ago; if you go in the summer, 1/2 day morning is the best as it is a very hot, crowded open area and could be difficult to maneuver by afternoon.

Nice trip, enough time in Pompeii. Things were a little disorganized in the morning, but that improved over the course of the day.
