Blast to the past! - Amazing!! I’ve been wanting to visit Pompeii for years and it was epic… and mama mia Franky was a fantastic guide!!! It was 10x better having a guide with us, Francesco really helped paint a picture of what life would have been like back then and really helped immerse us into the past.

Brilliant. Must for Pompeoids - Excellent visit to Pompei. Inexpensive train ticket from Naples. Good connection at pick-up point - Zeus Car Park. Franco the guide was outstanding. Mamma Mia, was he outstanding. Informative, history, quirky humour. Just right. And at the end, he directed my buddy and I to the amphitheatre and museum at the other end where we had a wander, and had a shorter trip / en route back to the Pompei rail station. Highly recommended. Outstanding

Fun and informative tour - Our guide Francesco was friendly, engaging and full of knowledge. We got a great understanding of the tragedy at Pompei and the way the people lived. Some of the preserved ruins are just mind-blowing.

Great tour, worth it - Very informative and fun tour! Our guide Francesco was very funny and enthusiastic and we had a very enjoyable time with him. He gave great explanations of the sights. He really gave a great feel for how the town was 2000 years ago and how the life of the inhabitants was.

Fun and interesting highlights tour of Pompei! - Very nice tour with fun and interesting commentary from Francesca. She was great with our 10 year old and had a lot of information to share. It was a nice pace, but didn't feel rushed. Only complaint of the tour company was that we were supposed to meet someone with a red umbrella at a provided address. We ended up finding the tour, but it wasn't at the address (per Google Maps) and there wasn't a red umbrella. The tour started across the street from where Google Maps indicated in the parking lot.

Bringing Pompeii back to life. - Excellent guide Francesco (Frankie). Worked hard delivering a gripping and entertaining description, asking us to challenge our imagination and see Pompeii in our minds as a living environment. Really made the place come to life. Well done Frankie. Highly recommended.

Money well spent, great deal if you appreciate your time. - Great deal if your priority is to make the most of your time. While the pickup didn't felt well organized and came with with a few minutes of delays; once in the vehicle thing were great. At arrival, it felt very organized and in control. We safe a ton of time and hustle buying this tour with admission and skip the line included; best decisio ever. I felt bad for those we passed that were lining up, it seemed a slow process. We couldn't get a better guide, Francesco (Franky), he has a particular laugh and a great way to incorporate fun and jokes to the true facts of history and landscape. THANK YOU! I had a blast!. He earned every penny we tip him and more. Yes, you show your appreciation to guides with tips here. I can definitely recommend this tour and I am very sure I will use it again if I come back with family.
