The individual places were great, but I did not like the organization of Tramvia. It felt like too much was on the transportation service’s plate.

I've only been to Vesuvius: an obligatory destination if you go there, you have to walk a bit towards the crater but then the view makes up for it all!

The tour agency did not show up and cancelled the tour last minute, I was not notified until I asked the hotel to call again.
They just asked me to take the bus with printed tickets instead of a group shuttle/bus to those places.
No show, crooked.

The meeting arrangements were poor, it is a rough area and we had problems being harrased by vagrants, which made for an unpleasant start to the day not what we paid £200 for.

We were disappointed to discover that our time at Herculanium was restricted to 2 hours rather than the advertised 3.

This tour was not worth the money.

It was basically a taxi to Herculaneum, a skip the line ticket (there was no line, even in August - Herculaneum is far less popular than Pompeii and in my view a better choice; taxi to Vesuvius, entry ticket and then taxi back to the meeting point.

Be aware that the taxi driver is NOT a tour guide and cannot answer any questions. I was not comfortable with his driving. If you are OK with aggressive drivers, his driving will not bother you: driving over 130km in a 100km zone while tail-gating (driving really close to the vehicle in front to get them to change lanes and move out of his way), taking corners on a narrow, windy road at 75km instead of the recommended 40km.

He dropped us off at both places and said “two hours back here”. No explanation as to where to go.

Save your money and do the trip by train and shuttle bus and book your own entrance tickets on line. Easy to do and much, much less expensive.

This way, you are not tied to a two hour window (I would have liked to have spent more time at Herculaneum) and you save money.

Take cash to Vesuvius as there is no Wi-Fi and no way to pay by debit or credit card.

There is only one washroom and it is located at the café, and you have to buy something in order to use it. The washroom was absolutely DISGUSTING 🤮. There was no water so you could not flush the toilet (and neither could all the people who used it before you!) or wash your hands. There was no toilet paper…

This tour is basically a taxi service with entry fees paid in advance. Collection was on time, communications very effective..Nice clean a/c taxi etc...driver does not provide a guided tour or info on way to drop offs etc. Bruno our driver was very pleasant tho and answered all questions etc.
If you are short on time in Naples then this is perfect..2 hours at Vesuvius and then dropped to Herculaneum for 2 hours and then returning to original point. Both had no queues and werent very busy so that was an advantage. Bruno dropped us in Naples City centre at a pizza place he recommended to us.
But you could probably do it all separately if you wanted to save money.

Vesuvius is amazing a testy climb but we'll worth it and Herculaneum was also amazing.
It was a self guided trip and allowed you to see at own pace.

The Herculaneum part was cancelled on very short notice, leaving us without any chance to make alternative arrangements. So we only had the transfer to the Vesuvius which by itself was fine.
We were supposed to get a refund which still has not materialized. I contacted the agency again and they said it was supposed to be processed on Monday. Now it’s Thursday, and I still have not received anything. So I really can’t recommend this company. They are completely unreliable. Not only did they ruin our plans to see the Herculaneum, they make false promises to refund the money, and nothing happens

We booked a semi private tour of Mt Vesuvius and Herculeum. Initially everything was extremely professional and our point of contact Valentina was extremely organised.

However, I think the company has been drastically let down by Giavanni the driver they assigned to us. He was half an hour late and was having an argument on the phone and barely acknowledged us when we approached. It was the other couple on the tour that said yes this is the Napoli Official Tours minivan. Initially I just thought everyone is allowed to have a bad day and got on with it.

It was at the start of the second stop at the car park entrance to Herculeum where he got into a shouting match with the carpark attendant. He then argued with us and the wife of the other couple about the amount of time we were supposed to be there.

When we came back at the meeting point at the agreed time he was no where to be found. We thought he might be a little further down the street where there was free parking and then we checked both the car parks. I had taken note of the plates because there were a lot of black Mercedes minivans at these attractions and he just wasn’t there. This was about 15 minutes after our agreed time. I figured seeing as he was late in the morning that this might be the case again. I contacted Valentina to see where he was and he wasn’t answering her calls but had apparently told her he had picked us up. I assured her that was absolutely not the case and we were still at the entrance of Herculeum where we had agreed to meet. Valentina did send another driver out Giuseppe who was really lovely and professional to take us back to the city however he took some time to arrive so we spent an hour outside of a carpark in the heat of the afternoon when we had paid 200 euro for a semi private driver.

It’s now been over a week and we have not received an apology or an offer of a refund full or partial however they did send me a email asking me to review them so I feel justified in posting this.
