A wonderful tour delivered with absolute passion! - Lieri was a fantastically knowledgeable tour guide and clearly passionate about the subject matter. He made the tour so interesting, with wonderful anecdotes about life in Pompeii. We wouldn’t have appreciate the site anywhere near as much without his wonderful anecdotes.

A Day in the Ruins - Roberta referred to us as her “family” and she treated us as such for the entire tour. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and had a great sense of humor. When the official tour was over, she provided us with suggestions on other parts of the ruins to visit on our own, and some great spots for pictures. The ruins are a bit of a maze, so be sure to identify the exit if you don’t leave with your guide.

Simply the best - Ornella was an outstanding tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and communicated the details in a fun informative manner. She was mindful of the group size and ensured she could account for everyone before sharing the facts or pointing out things of interest. Highly recommend the tour.

Biblical torrential rain spoiled our visit - The torrential rain and hundreds of umbrellas. Our guide Sonia was excellent but the conditions meant that she had a challenge to be seen in the crowds. The tour was very interesting and we learned many things which would not have been possible on our own. The rain made us late so we did not have 2 hours and an Italian couple booked the wrong tour but were allowed to join us. This meant poor Sonia had to say everything twice and there was no time for questions. TBH we felt a bit short changed!

educated - Very informative for the most part, overall good tour. There is hardly a ‘skip-the-line’ ticket process however, and our guide was a bit clueless on how the process worked.

Disappointing - Very disappointed with the guide. Very friendly but her English was not of a standard for guiding. Found her extremely difficult to understand and most of the time she had language problems answering any questions. Was not the experience I was expecting. Would not recommend this guide or the tour.
