      Pompeii Ruins and Wine Tasting a Must Do
      Pompeii Ruins were really eye opening and an enjoyable experience, to be able to walk through this active archaeological site was very special. The tour guide was knowledgeable and the whole experience with handovers to and from drivers really well managed. And then the wine tasting and lunch was even better, beautiful winery and great wines presented by a sommelier and paired with great food. Highly recommend.

      If you're a food and wine lover who likes history... This is fabulous
      Wow I have to say this trip is beyond excellent. It's the best one we have done this trip. We really wanted to see Pompeii, and we are both foodies. So it was the perfect combination. Every single person who worked on this tour was exceptional from our tour guide around Pompeii who gave fascinating facts and kept us enthralled the whole way round the tour which lasted roughly 2 hours, to the driver to the vineyard, and vineyard sommelier and lady who gave us the vineyard tour. The lunch and wine tasting was fabulous too. A brilliant tour. Would absolutely recommend.

      Excellent tour and wine tasting
      Pompeii tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour of the ruins lasted around two hours and we saw a lot during that time, although just scratched the surface of the ruins it was enough in the heat. The driver to the winery, Lorenzo, was very friendly. When we got to the winery, we had a short tour by Nelo which was good. Then sat at the table with our group of 12 for the tasting and lunch. Excellent wines and food, dietary requirements and allergies taken when we sat down and vegetarian option was very good. A very enjoyable day - would recommend this tour.

      September 2024, great trip.
      Very well organised. Tour of Pompeii great, guide excellent very informative. Without a guide you would miss so much. Tour of vineyard really interesting, tasting included 5 different wines plus a sparkling white. Lunch lovely, served alongside others from your tour. Vegetarian option available and very good . Would absolutely recommend this tour. 10/10

      Great day out in Pompeii/Vesuvius. Beautiful area.
      Great day out in Pompeii. Beautiful countryside and the tour of the ancient city was short compared to a full tour but gave you all the most important sights of Pompeii to see. The vineyards were both great, and the drivers/hosts were gracious. Come with an empty stomach! Both vineyards will feed you well with ample wine!

      Loved it!
      The Pompeii portion of the tour was really informative, but just hit the highlights. Two hours is difficult to see it all, but we knew that going into it. The wine portion was very fun. It was done family style, so we got to know the rest of the families/couples on the tour. Food was great, and wine is available with international shipping already included in the price. They kept pouring as long as we kept drinking! Overall, the tour was well organized and we enjoyed the day. Tip: if you're coming from Naples or Sorrento, don't be afraid to take the train to the Pompeii station. It was super easy and so much cheaper than a private transfer.

      Italian Family hosting in their home 🥰
      “The Mama experience was awesome and the best meal we had on our entire 2 week Italy trip (maybe because we participated and had the fresh ingredients from the garden!). Thanks for the afternoon Sabrina and family, we will treasure it :). For those foreigners that aren’t used to the train and bus system make sure you consult with Giuseppe and Sophia beforehand, we had some hiccups getting there and getting back to Rome, but the team were great communicating in real time and I never felt alone. I booked a much later train so we ended up having to hang out for quite a while in town so just be-mindful of when it ends.”

      An amazing day had by myself and my wife , always wanted to visit Pompeii, we were blown away by it . Wine tasting and the food was superb too and the horse riding around the lower areas of Vesuvius was amazing. Very well put together with ample time for breaks . Well done 👍🏻

      Amazing Pompeii Tour and Wine Experience
      Everything from start to finish was exceptional. We met our lovely host for Part 1, Pompeii, Theresa—she was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and sweet. We loved our tour around the ruins and city. Sofia then took us on our wine tour, tasting, and lunch. She was also very friendly, lovely, and chatty. The tour, tasting, and lunch were delightful. We met wonderful people and felt it was great value for money. We finished the tour with a helpful lift back to our train station. We would recommend this experience to anyone. Flawless from start to finish.

      Amazingly kind people and delicious
      It was a lovely experience. The service was amazing, nice to be picked up from our hotel with a nice van. Pompeii guide was very kind and not too long. Wineries were only 10 min drives which was also perfect! Everyone working on this experience is amazing.

      Wonderful way to spend the day in Pompeii
      “This tour was the perfect way to spend the day. It was very easy to find the meeting point and Teresa guided us through a great tour of Pompeii! Our driver Lorenzo was very funny and nice, and he even had the car cooled off for us (on a very very hot day). The vineyard was the most perfect view, the tour guide was very charming, and the wine and food were some of the best we had in Italy. They were very accommodating of one person in our party with a gluten allergy. The horseback ride was relaxing and Alexandria was a great tour guide, making sure we learned about the area while taking in the amazing panoramic views. I can’t recommend this experience enough!”

    My partner and I had the most wonderful, incredible experience on this tour. Our tour guide Sofia was so lovely and helpful, and others that worked there were so friendly and welcoming. We were only on the tour with one other couple that were also lovely.
    The views on the horseback ride were breathtaking, and we even got to try the grapes off of the vines! The horses are very well looked after, you can tell how much they love and care for their horses. A lot of places Abroad you can tell don’t look after their horses but they do.
    We then got served some delicious food on our arrival back at the ranch and two bottles of homemade wines from the local vineyard which tasted amazing. We had beautiful views whilst eating too. We also loved the dog Patrick and the little kittens! I would 100% recommend this trip, if you love horses like me and have been riding for years or even if you don’t particularly like horses like my partner! It is one in a million. I would love to go back!! Thank you for the bestest time of my holiday / year ! Jasmine & Jamie x

    We had a lovely experience riding with Giuseppe. I took my 8 and 10 year old daughter with me. They had some riding experience and I hadn’t ridden in 15yrs. We felt safe on horses and we enjoyed our walk around the base of Vesuvius, through vineyards. The horses knew their route but behaved well. We stopped for a photo opportunity towards the end of the trail and after we dismounted and said bye to horses we were welcomed by a lovely light lunch. Bread, cheese, ham and local wine. Lovely location, not far from Pompeii, a bit out in sticks but sat nav took us straight there. They also meet guests in town , whichever works for you! We would recommend this experience and Giuseppe is an excellent host who knows a lot about the horses.

    Where should I even start, this experience was so memorable! Giuseppe picked us up from the train station since we arrived from Naples. His explanation on how to ride the horses was very thorough and thoughtful. He made us feel comfortable as if we were experienced. 100% would do this again and I would recommend it to anyone who is trying to do something new!!! The view was breath taking!

    It was very amazing for three of us (first time rider, experienced rider and pro rider) and we all enjoyed that. The host was very super, he drove us from train station and back, gave us a very amazing lunch with view. We really enjoyed our time there, it was very beautiful and they have a good and healthy horses! The host talked with us and told us a lot of interesting facts!

    My girlfiend and I did this experience and it was one of the best experiences from our trip. Our host Sofia was very friendly and kind and she was super sociable which created a great atmosphere. The view at the end while sipping on some fine white wine at a family home was just brilliant! We got served olives, tomatoes and breads in true Italian fashion. The horses were very easy and well kept.

    BEST PART OF OUR TRIP! The views was with the price of admission but it was all the special touches that made this experience worth while. Sofia was amazing! She made sure we were comfortable riding the horses and even encouraged us to pick fresh fruit from the trees during the ride. She also took the time to chat with us about the vineyards, local community, and everything in between. I’d also be remiss if I didn’t mention how delicious and beautiful the local food they provided was. Definitely filled us up after riding. When I come back to Italy, I’ll definitely be visiting Giuseppe and Sofia again!!

    Great time! Giuseppe is an amazing host, very personable and easy going as we’re everyone else on the ranch. Beautiful land, great conversation and delicious food/wine. We definitely can see ourselves coming back and doing this experience again.

    We also were able to bring our 7 month old puppy for his first experiences with horses, unfortunately he decided to stay in the car instead of coming along for the trail but we were glad he was able to have the opportunity.

    This experience is really amazing! The ride was extremely enjoyable even if I started from zero. The landscape from the mountain covered with a bit snow is surreal and the air is so refreshing. Above all, the host Giuseppe is very professional, experienced and generous! In one word, Highly recommended! Grazie!

    Incredible experience! Guiseppe was a great host, he picked us up from town and gave us a lovely tour of the stables before going on our ride. All the animals looked like they were very well cared for which was great to see. The ride itself was absolutely beautiful, as we were out in the evening just as the sun started to set, and the horses were great! Would definitely recommend!
