- Pompeii Archaeological Park - Pick-up at the hotel/station/port and transfer to Pompeii to explore one of the most fascinating places of Naples environs by the narration of a professional guide. In roman time Pompei was a rich and populated town, full of private and public buildings. On a summer’s day in 79 A.D, the entire town and around 20000 of its inhabitants were buried under tons of ash and pumice because of a violent explosion of Mt Vesuvius. A shower of very fine ash was deposited everywhere to a depth of more than six meters, enveloping everything and adhering to the forms of the bodies and of their clothes. Almost 2.000 years later, you have the opportunity to discover the everyday life of the Imperial Age and imagine the panic of the people before the city was so disastrously buried. In a two hours walking tour, your guide will show you fascinating places such as The Forum, Thermal Baths, Lupanare and so on. This is a trip not to be missed for any visitor to this region of Italy.

a step back to roman times for 4 irish ladies - what a place higher than i expected as knew it had been covered by 30 ft of ash
we paid for a guide 4 of us well worth it history stories explinations no problem
really liked the stepinng stones in streets and the no vehicular access It leads to a lot of thought how sofisticated they were how sudden it was the detail visible to everybody a look back in time the roman forum as I imagined it the little shops and the takeaway food of then with the splendour of the rich houses Its a thrill to see actual floor tiles they used.. by the way the squeezed orange juice across the road really hit the spot after great experience

Pompeii from Salerno - Easy drive from cruise port to Pompeii. We had a very professional guide around the ruins for two hours and 15 mins later we were on our Mercedes transport back to the port. Don't go in August though. We melted in the heat and there were lots of tourists.

Good half day trip - Got picked up in a mini van right outside the cruise ship port which was convenient. Got stuck in traffic a bit heading in, was an extra busy day at Pompeii. Got out of the van, taken to a meeting spot where we waited for our guide Erica. We had 15 minutes to use a nearby bathroom. Turns out this tour has 35 people in one group, and we were waiting on a bus load of 20+ people before we could start our tour so we ended up waiting almost another half an hour extra. Got given a little ear piece to wear so we could hear our guide. Not the best quality, sometimes a bit muffled but better than nothing. No line to get into Pompeii which was good. Erica was a good guide, pointed out some unique things, took us to some interesting parts of Pompeii. It is very very large so it is probably impossible to see everything in one day. Erica was very patient, especially with a rude woman in our tour group. It was a slow-medium paced walk, mostly on very uneven and cobblestone surfaces. For most people it was easy, but some people just dawdle too much, and some had some mobility issues. Hardly any steps to walk up which is good. A few steps to go down at the end. One place inside where we could use the bathroom quickly, and one place we could fill up a water bottle quickly if needed. When the tour was finished, we were taken back to the guide meeting point and told what time our transport back was expected. My group had about 20 minutes to explore the market stalls. Got a delicious orange and lemon slushy drink. Back in the mini van and back to the cruise port with about 1 hour to spare! In total we spent I think 2 hours inside Pompeii

Review - Tour was great, guide was knowledgeable. Could’ve spent an entire day exploring. The only critique is that the tour was PACKED with 30+ people, so occasionally it was difficult to see some of the highlights our guide discussed. But I guess we will just have to go back.

groups of 35 were not suppose to be - our group had over 35 people in it. thought it was small group. too many for narrow crowded streets of pompeii on a crowded noisy sunday. the headphones and mouthpiece the guide used were not good and could hardly hear what she said over ambient noise. the guide was always in the front of line and you didnt see what she was pointing out and talking about. that group should have been no more than 15. Disappointed i mussed out hearing and seeing so much when i finally hot there,

Not worth the money - Ruins tour was the best but but it took a very long time to get there as pick up driver was half hour late and unorganised. Tour guide was good but only saw not even 1/4 of the city. To top it off we had the same unorganised driver for the return trip. Take the bus yourself and explore at your own pace. Be prepared, it’s incredibly busy.

Too rushed - Our tour guide knew her stuff but she walked way too fast for the group. For example, she would say on the left is a fresco in this family home, but only 3 people in the group were able to see what she was pointing at. The others were struggling to get close enough to see what she was talking about and she was already gone. Very frustrating.I felt like she was just reciting her words and didn't care about what we were doing.
