You need a guide! - Brilliant tour! It would honestly be pointless visiting without a guide. You get so much out of it, so much information, head to the right areas etc. Couldn't recommend a tour enough.

Great overview of Pompei - Mano was very good. We had a small group and she made sure we did not loose anyone as we moved through the park. Great overview.

Friendly and enriching - We went there on a sunny day when it wasn't too hot and I think it was the ideal weather: it quickly gets too hot given the crowds and the lack of shade. The site of Pompeii is very well preserved, thanks to the map you can easily find your way around the ruins. We had a great time and are so excited about our exploration!

Highly recommended - I have never been a fan of guided tour, but this one was absolutely great. Our guide, Ciro G. was friendly, very knowledgeable and organised.He took us on an just over two hours tour, showing notable buildings and explaining the history of Pompeii very well. The group was quite large but we were provided with headset so that everyone could hear our guide very well. Ciro G. also gave us some tips on what to continue to visit in our own time if we wished to. Highly recommended.

3 hours guided tour with Laura - We took a guided tour because we hadn't prepared our trip carefully. Well, we recommend that you take a guide because the city of Pompeii is very large and there are few indications, difficult even with a map and no comments or explanations. We really liked this Pompei Tour Organizer: a group of reasonable size, our guide Laura gave us a lot of comments and was really generous with explanations, Her English is excellent, she is smiling and I believe was very generous with her time with us. So! Thanks Laura!

CIRO NUMBER 1! - Ciro number 1! We had the pleasure of discovering Pompeii guided by the legendary Ciro, he was very helpful and told us about the life of Pompeii in a non-trivial and in-depth way, he answered all our questions and modulated the visit based on the curiosities that came to us during the path. Also available to explain what to see at the end of the tour with further indications for continuing on your own. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Nice basic tour - Group was larger than I expected but guide was knowledgeable and in open spaces the size of the group was manageable

Surprising and impressive - A tour of the main things that represent the past and present of Pompei, the explanation is very complete and clear. It was in completely understandable English. Thanks to Ciro G. Our guide for taking the time to answer our questions. He also told us that the tour is approximately 2 hours, however there are more things to see so we recommend staying at least another 2 hours to continue exploring and learning.

Did not meet expectations - I attended the 2 hour tour on Saturday 27th July, and was hosted by a guide, who I believe her name was Manuella. The tour was meant to begin at 11am. However, the group did not enter Pompeii until 11:20. Whilst Manuella had excellent knowledge of the site, we did not visit many points of interest. She spoke about the Baths, the Amphitheatre, and the Brothels, however, we did not go into any of these. We only visited the main street, the main square, and a house. Finally, we were asked to give our radios back at 12:40. Thus, the tour only lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes, rather than the 2 hours that was advertised and paid for. Additionally, once the radios were given back, we were not given a map of the site, and so were expected to navigate out own way around. I am very disappointed with the service given and the tour that was provided. I do not feel that this met the expectations that were advertised.
