The experience overall was wonderful! The host for the Pompeii tour was absolutely amazing — incredibly knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and she made the entire experience feel very natural and enjoyable.
The winery itself was beautiful and such a great experience. The lunch and cheese board were phenomenal, and it was really special knowing everything was locally sourced directly from the winery’s land.
The only issue I had — and other members of the group felt the same — was that the Mt. Vesuvius portion wasn’t clearly explained beforehand. You do not actually go up or close to Mt. Vesuvius. The horseback riding takes place on the winery grounds with views of the mountain in the background. If your goal is to truly visit or hike Mt. Vesuvius, this is probably not the tour for you.
Other than that, it was an amazing experience and I would absolutely do it again!
