Amazing, exciting and fantastic - Our guide was Luisa who was amazing. Met us on time and at the exact location she said. Once inside we went to all the major sites and some hidden gems too. Being an archaeologist Luisa knew her stuff. She was very passionate about Pompei and her passion came through on the tour. So much knowledge about Pompei, not just the destruction but also about everyday life prior to the eruption. I highly recommend Luisa as a guide, you will not be disappointed.

Ponpei guided tour - A wonderful experience with the most amazing guide - Luisa!! Pompeii is fantastic but made all the better with a tour guide with the wealth of knowledge that Louisa has. Although my wife and I had heard of Pompeii we recommend having an individual guide trained as an archaeologist who has the passion, experiences and knowledge to be able to take you to those places off the normal tourist trail to explain the true workings of this amazing city.

Life in Pompeii - Well organised tour with easy instructions to meet up and skipping the lines and avoiding the crowds was great. Maria Grazia was an excellent guide - her enthusiasm and knowledge brought the place to life. Thank you

The perfect private tour! - We booked this for just the two of us. It was a fantastic experience! Our guide was knowledgeable and so nice! When an area was too crowded, she had a back up plan. We had a wonderful tour! Grazie mille!

Excellent Private Tour of Pompeii - We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour of Pompeii. Our guide was Amadeo, and he was an excellent tour guide. He provided lots of details and information, and guided us to the most important locations during our tour. I would highly recommend the tour to everyone visiting Pompeii.

Great experience in Pompeii with Louisa! - Louisa was excellent! So knowledgeable, polite and kind! We had a great experience. The only hiccup was the admission ticket was not included via Viator

Make the most of your time with this tour! - My husband and I wanted to make the most of our time in Pompeii. After researching, we chose a 4-hour tour with Eliana, and this was the best decision we could make! Exploring the Archeological Museum in Naples the day before was helpful and added to the tour. Eliana is so knowledgeable as she works in Pompeii. Hearing her describe the sites she has personally worked in previously and is currently working on now was impactful. Learning about the symbolism in the road construction, wall construction, frescoes, mosaics, etc is unexpected and mind blowing. Thanks Eliana. You’re the best!

Great private tour with Liz - Great private tour, Liz was clearly extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the site and knew it very well, and really gave us a good sense of Pompeii as a place and how life was lived then. She gave time for questions and advised us on what to see/where to go after the tour. Thank you!

Poor communications - Our guide cancelled at the last minute and handed us off to a colleague, that wasn’t the problem - life happens - but the replacement wasn’t aware of the meeting point we had been given so we wasted half an hour swapping text messages with our original guide before we found the substitute guide. More stress than I wanted. The substitute guide did a good job but the tour only happened because we chased for more information on where to meet when we were already on site.
