This was the highlight of our Italy-trip! - Great tour with Alfonso! He showed us interesting details that we would have definitely missed without him. The tour was 90min which gave us ample amount of time to spend the rest of the day as a family in this fascinating place! We will be back

Thanks Pablo - The tour was very comprehensive (it didn't cover but we knew the amphitheatre). Our guide, Pablo, was always naking sure we were all OK with everything.

Perfecto! - Pompeii is so large that you really need an expert to show you around to highlight the important and historical aspects of this ancient town. Our expert was great! She was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. I hadn’t been to Pompeii in 30 years and so much has changed and been uncovered. Would totally recommend this tour.

If you are near Pompeii, you definitely should take this tour! - We had a great tour and it was well worth the price. We took the tour while on a day trip from Sorrento. The tour was well organized and we started on time. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and happily answered all our questions. Pompeii is an amazing place and having a guide really helped in understanding daily life in the city. We learned a lot on the tour. When the tour ended we took the opportunity to explore the site further on our own, looking at places suggested by the guide.

Just as Advertised! - Amazing insights from a Phd in archaeology! Started on time and walked at a good pace with plenty of time for individual explorations and photos. Great time of year to go to avoid the crushing crowds during peak season.

Excellent guided tour brought the city of Pompeii to life - We loved our tour of Pompeii! Our guide was both extremely knowledgeable and personable and made our tour of the ancient city come to life. The site is huge, and it would have been difficult to pace ourselves and see the most important things on our own, so it was helpful to have an expert with us to guide us through the streets and sequence our learning and experience effectively.
