Interesting history lesson as you walk around the site - Picked up by coach from the cruise port in Naples and taken to Pompeii. Narrated journey by the lead. At Pompeii we were taken up into the town for a guided tour and given time to look around. You can also visit the museum where you can see more of the casts of the remains of animals and the residents of Pompeii at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius. Interesting talk as you walk around with lots of the history of the site. A good day out.

Pompeii Half Day Tour - This was a very insightful tour. Eliza is fantastic and brings Pompeii to life. She is humorous, professional and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the two hours and it was time well spent.

Super convenient pickup... - Super convenient pickup at my hotel. Guides were very friendly and informative. There is a lot of walking on uneven surfaces, so wear appropriate shoes.

Must see! Great tour if you only have a half day. - We almost didn’t go because we were supposed to head to Amalfi. So glad we did! Nice tour would do the day tour next time but this tour was great as a last minute idea! If you want to see the rest I was told the museum would have completed our experience but we only had time for one. Loved that we were picked up from our hotel.

This Group Tour SHOULD have only half the amount of people! - Great that we were picked up at our hotel and Pompeii was gorgeous! These are the two positives of this tour for us. The group was way too large for the areas we were accessing. Pompeii itself was beautiful but we couldn't see what our guide was referring to most of the time due to the large number of people in our group. There were many moments where we lost sound as the tour guide was too far ahead. Queueing issues and bottle necking of people became an issue. There were other people who weren't in our group who fell in between our group creating distance for the sound. Some areas were only single file lines and our tour had at least 40 people in it. I would suggest this tour to have a maximum of 25 people, not 50 as advertised. We went on many booked tours in a italy and this was by far the worst one. The tour also didn't stop by the Gift Shop which was a complete let down.
