★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 313 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $84

Pompeii half-day from Naples with port pickup, an expert guide walk, included admission, and headsets—ideal for cruise days.

“Tour guide was great but the rest of the experience was awful. Hotel ended up being in sorrento instead of Naples and they said $30 more for pick up. Ok, no problem, but when pick up was there they needed cash, which wasn’t mentioned. The driver, who was rude and obviously mad at us for not having cash, stopped at three different places to ensure he had the cash which all could have been done at the location we were dropped off at, which was active with people to get change when we were done with the atm. Sorrento was kind of shut down. It was embarrassing to say the…”

“Margarita was truly amazing, from start to finish. We have a great time. She was so knowledgeable, easy to understand, and answered all our questions. She also told us where to find the best pizza in Naples. The only downside of the tour was saying the group is 20 or less people. That was misleading, it was 20 or less until we got to Pompeii, where they added another 24 people to our tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 198 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $110

A full-day Naples shore excursion to Pompeii and Sorrento with port pickup, guided walks, photo stops, and an included pizza lunch.

“Martina was a great guide at Pompeii. Very knowledgeable and she shared the information in a helpful way. The rest of the trip, checking in, getting there and then leaving was a disorganized mess. We were supposed to go to Sorrento but didn’t get to because we were short on time. If they hadn’t been so disorganized we wouldn’t have been short on time. Book another company. Our other Viator tours have been very good. This one was not.”

Shore Excursion to Rome from Civitavecchia Port

5.Shore Excursion to Rome from Civitavecchia Port

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 191 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $144

A 7-hour Rome highlights day from Civitavecchia: air-conditioned minivan, multi-language audio, and timed stops at the Vatican, Trevi, Spanish Steps, Navona, and more.

“First and foremost, our tour guide was 30 minutes late, I had to call Viator to find out what was going on. When the tour guide finally arrived, he half heartily held up a sign with our names on it, l and never apologize for his tardiness. Then once in the tour van, there was a argument between two separate families on how the information in Rome will be given regularly: whether in the language of English or Russian and that continued pretty much the entire tour and the tour guide didn't say anything but just let it happen. There was so many other different things.However , just to conclude…”

Acropolis and central Athens on a timed, guide-led walk from Piraeus, with Parthenon views, Plaka time, and optional skip-the-line.

“Our walking tour started great with clear communication as to where to meet. Traffic while on the bus was crazy busy, but we were excited about the tour thinking Athena would be our guide. Unfortunately at the bus station we were passed off to another tour guide. Being an elementary teacher, I know from many field trips that the guide makes or breaks the trip. In our case, our guide was mediocre, disinterested and not engaging. He did make sure he stopped to talk in places with shade, but there was not adequate restroom and picture taking opportunities . We enjoyed the sights, but it was not an interesting learning…”

He tells not only the real facts, but also funny things in a very playful + interesting way. He does this interactively: He involves the public. Super tourleader, highly recommended!Auto-translated”

We stopped for coffee along the way and had a wonderful conversation about a wide range of topics. From pop culture to world issues to ancient history theories. So great to exchange perspectives with people outside our daily circles We are of course all human The entire tour was as planned and we remain grateful to Viator for connecting us with Dushi. More to come!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 22 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $650

A private Athens shore excursion with cruise pickup and a timed Acropolis visit, plus Syntagma Square, Panathenaic Stadium, and Roman stops.

“Our guide Val was waiting for us outside the port terminal. There were 6 in our group and were driven in a small bus that could hold about 20 people. Val was very knowledgeable about the history of Athens, and was careful to point out everything she could as we drove to the Acropolis. Entry fee was 20 Euros. The climb up was not as steep as we anticipated but we had to watch our footing the entire way as the path was rocky and with marble rocks that could be slippery, and some steps were high steps. The crowd climbing up was very pushy and rude. It felt like…”

He was very responsive as our plans changed slightly throughout the day. He took us to a great spot for lunch. So, so glad we ended up with our driver.”
