Good outward travel

Anna_C, Jun 2023

Trip out was good as had private transport but had 6 hours instead of expected 4 and was bussed back with lots of other people and the return journey was quite late so we were worried we had been forgotten. Would do by taxi or train next time

Highly recommend

Stacey_J, Aug 2019

The driver met us right at the cruise port (holding up a sign with our name) and brought us in an air-conditioned van to Pompeii. He was very punctual (actually a little early) with excellent customer service, as he explained the sights as we were driving. Another driver picked us up about 4 hours later, which was the perfect amount of time to spend in Pompeii as well as have time for lunch. Highly recommend this transfer!

Just a transfer but was good. Pick up location not very conducive for the amount of traffic at Pompeii and I had to call because our drver was late picking us up on return.

catherinesyng, Aug 2017

This is basically a shuttle service which the company performed as agreed, nothing more. I was there before the ticket office opened and did not line up right away. You should line up for the tickets as soon as you get there.

Doug_H, May 2017

Good basic transportation to Pompeii from the cruise port. Friendly driver, clean van. Basic service. Got what we paid for. Pompeii is a huge site though so i'd suggest a guided tour of the site would be better for first timers. We'd been there before a couple years ago with a guided tour and got a much better feel for the place than just by walking around. However if simple transportation is all you want, this is a great price for just that.

Excellent, prompt service and comfortable vehicle. Early arrival allowed us to beat most of the crowds, and length of visit was perfect. Would highly recommend this service provider, and definitely use them again.

Excellent experience! A fraction of the price of booking an excursion through the cruise line. Picked up right at the port and dropped off right at the ship! Great service!

christine C, Sep 2016

I loved using Viator, they were at the cruise ship to meet us and take us to Pompeii and were there to take us back to the port in Naples, I would use Viator again on my next holiday, so much cheaper than the excursions on the ship.

Melanie_C, Aug 2016

Fantastic! Plenty of time to see the sights, eat lunch and shop. Only mishap was the van had some tire issues forcing us to pull over twice. When walking out of the station from your cruise ship, you must walk through a crowd of drivers with signs to find your driver and your name on a sign. It can be very overwhelming. For a moment I was worried my driver was not there. He was standing in the back of the crowd. Don't give up, keep looking and the driver should be there.

Gillian M, Jun 2016

Absolutely excellent. Driver was waiting on the quai when we got off. Daughter and I and party of 5 guys travelled in air conditioned comfortable mini van, were in Pompeii by 8:40 am for 9am opening. Driver picked us up at the gate at 1:15 back on ship by 2. Cannot fault it. Recommend

Devin P, Jun 2016

It was an easy excursion, we got off of our ship and easily found our driver waiting for us. Who took us directly to Pompeii. Pompeii is a pretty amazing place, we spend a few hours there then met back at the assigned place and had a nice air conditioned ride back to the port. No issues, happened as described in the excursion plus a lot less expensive than most.

MANWAI_H, May 2016

Not that satisfy, driver late on pick up and not mentioned will have difference driver for pick up and need to wait for another big group.
