Absolutely brilliant - book it, you won’t regret it! - I would thoroughly recommend this experience. Novella has been an outstanding guide and any tour operator should count themselves lucky to have her on their books. I have been to Pompeii once before but my husband has not, so I wanted to book a tour in order to give him a quick overview of the place. I should add that I am a Latin teacher, so did not expect to hear much that I have not come across before. However, Novella has been that good that she managed to intersperse a few things which were new to me. Very well done! Additionally, I was very impressed by how much condensed information she managed to get across, much of them I had to learn over years and years. From a non-Classicist perspective, this tour would be the ideal thing to do to quickly get a very good impression of what life was like in ancient Pompeii. The only thing that I would change if I were the operator is the clarity of information about the meeting point on the ticket voucher. My Google Maps did not pick up on the correct street name of the meeting point. I would add something like “the second entrance on the left down from the train station near hotel Vittoria by the big square” as we found ourselves at the wrong entrance and slightly panicked when we realised. As it was, it was not a problem though. Finally, the word “small” was not an understatement! We were only four people on the tour which made the whole experience feel very relaxed. There was no struggling to hear the guide. Overall, thank you so much for a fantastic morning, Novella!
