Great guide and overall experience - We had a fantastic tour of Pompeii with our guide Antonio. His deep local knowledge really brought the history of the site to life. The tour company was very accommodating of our late arrival due to traffic, which we greatly appreciated. The two-hour tour provided a wonderful overview of Pompeii, but you could easily spend many more hours exploring. If you’re short on time, this tour is a perfect way to get a taste of this incredible site. Highly recommend!

Vincent Great - Vincent was excellent. A great introduction to Pompeii. He was funny and informative. Hate the art piece placed by a modern artist l, but it makes for a nice totem.

Informative tour - Our Guide Gulia was very knowledgeable and gave us an insight to life in Pompeii. She explained how the volcano wiped out the city in a very short period of time causing the high number of deaths

Great experience - Amazing experience learning about the history of the site. Guide was great and full of knowledge. 2 hours is not enough. Take the tour guide then go on yourself once it’s finished.

One of the Best Tours this week! - The tour was excellent. The tour group was easy to find and well organized once all the guest arrived. I have been on 6 other tours this week and their ear piece technology was the best out there. Our guide Andrea was passionate about archeology and educating us on what was really verses reconstructed. Andrea’s knowledge of history and culture pulled it all together to create a perfect day. Wish the tour could have been longer.

Very Informative but a difficult walk - Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. However, I think that perhaps it would be better to skip a few things or have smaller groups or allow more time. She moved very quickly, I ‘m sure to get through it all, so that by the time the middle and back of the group got to what she was describing she was gone and talking about the next thing. Walking was very strenuous so be prepared for hills and uneven cobblestones and steep steps. Regardless, Pompeii is worth seeing, and it was good that she told us what to look for so when we went to the other side on our own we knew what some things were. The map was helpful also. The Roman side had a nice walkway built making it easier to walk.
