A fantastic way to see the sights of Naples. My husband and I did this with our 19 & 17 year old & we all really enjoyed it. Great to view the narrow cobbled hub of Naples , head down to the coast with amazing views of Vesuvius & Pompeii. Heading up the hill on e-bikes was brilliant & a stop for a coffee to enjoy the views. Our guide Joe was brilliant and providing us with an overview of the history and culture of Naples. The e- bikes were in great condition too. Well worth doing this tour.

Brilliant trip, well organised, easy to locate meeting point. Valentina was a fantastic guide, lots of facts and upbeat on the very early start. There was a chance we weren’t able to get to Vesuvius due to the weather impending but we did manage it. Pompeii was fantastic, would’ve liked a bit longer there as so much to see but we knew it would be restrictive.

Marta was very gracious and entertaining! Our guide in Pompeii, Elena, was amazing! She did a great job and we learned so much! Definitely a great day.

We did the Pompeii and Naples tour and enjoyed it immensely. It was a busy day but a great way to experience 2 major attractions in 1 day.

Fantastic tour and guide. Best company to go with for sure. Thanks Giuseppe
