The Pompeii tour was informative and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. I would recommend it highly. However, It should not be combined with hiking Vesuvius. The explanation of the hike was misleading and very vague. It was very hard to hike and it was difficult to climb especially in the heat of 100 degrees. There should be a warning of the level of difficulty of the hike. The guide was wonderful but the explanation of the hike/climb was not explicit enough as it was extreme for most people unless you were a seasoned hiker. I noticed that a lot of people abandoned the climb before reaching the top of Vesuvius. I recommend this as a separate tour and being mindful of the difficulty for any age and health issues before deciding to take this combined tour.
