Fabulous tour with Raphael - Raphael was a fantastic guide. He made sure everyone was there and assisted with tickets. He was really informative and humorous. We are so glad we took this tour, rather than a self guided tour, in the two hours we saw so much. We went early December and weather was great with only small crowds. Would highly recommend.

A must do to appreciate the true history of Pompeii. - Ortella was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We covered so much in a quick 2 hours. We recommend this tour as it made it easy to see the highlights quickly and thoroughly instead of trying to do it ourselves with a map.

Pationate, knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming guide. He was brilliant! - Rafielle was brilliant, excellent archeological knowledge and pationate about Pompei. We got to see the latest discoveries! The group was well organised and we experienced the latest sites uncovered. Would definitely use Rafielle on our next visit to Pompei or Herculaneum.

Insightful Pompeii Tour with an Archaeological Perspective - Fantastic walking tour of Pompeii led by an archaeologist. Riccardo shared in-depth insights and fascinating tidbits that you wouldn’t get on a standard tour. His expertise brought Pompeii to life, from explaining the ongoing excavation work to pointing out small but significant details in the ruins. Hearing about how Pompeians lived and the impact of Mount Vesuvius from an archeological expert made the experience truly unique. So, if you’re into history or just want a deeper understanding of Pompeii, I highly recommend this tour.

Fun and informative Pompeii tour - Would really like to commend this tour! Our guide was simply fantastic! Santa was really passionate and informative about Pompeii while maintaining high levels of enjoyability! She had her vision of the key parts of what to see in Pompeii with the time given, which we followed, while being completely open to changing the route and adapting the tour after whatever wishes to see could be. As tourists, it was just a fun experience. We got the story of Pompeii and enjoyed to able to see it through our guides vision in the best way possible. Un bravissimo viaggio!

Pompeii is definitely the... - Pompeii is definitely the place you must visit as you won't find anywhere such preserved entire ancient city and remains the same as it was 2000 ago. And to have this visit you must have a tour guide who will tell you a lot of interesting facts, especially from archaeological point of view.

Pompeii Visit - Ornella was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the site. It is MASSIVE so bring good shoes, water and comfortable clothes. Just FYI - bring your Viator voucher inside to the box office and take it to the far left counter.

This was an AMAZING tour! - It was great! I went with my toddler and made sure to use a carrier because most of the tour would not have been suitable for a stroller. Although it was 2 hours, the time went by so quickly. Livio was very knowledgeable, personable, and extremely nice! He encouraged us to interact in a normal and natural way - and not in a pushy, awkward way that would make even the most extreme extrovert a bit uncomfortable. Overall, I highly recommend.
