We had an amazing time with this e-bike tour of Naples, with beautiful views of Naples. From Ricardo who helped to organize the trip, to Fulvio who led us on the tour, everyone was so friendly and energetic. We even stopped by a gelato place for a yummy snack. Ricardo and Fulvio told us about some of the important sites and Naples, gave us good tips, and told us about life as a Neapolitan. The e-bikes were really fun to rides. We are so glad we decided to book 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
