EXcellent service and very interesting tour. - First, we had a tough time finding a cab to go from Positano to Pompei. Emmanuel from the tour company called me as i was running late for the visit of late thursday. He reprogrammed me for the friday morning visit and he offered to pick us up at 7h45 in Positano. He did it and we very glad to have the opportunity to go. Most impressive visit.

Giulia, excellent guide! - Excellent experience. Giulia Discover was a non-trivial guide and took us on a tour of Pompeii outside the classic tourist itineraries that one can do on their own and still understand them with the information that Giulia gave us. Advise

Must do tour! - Sasa was a fantastic guide! You could tell he was very passionate and knew so much about Pompeii. The tour was fabulous for adults but also for kids, my 8 year old was blown away by Sasa’s stories. Highly recommend this tour!

Review: Pompeii Tour - My recent tour of Pompeii was decent. I found the tour lacking in historical depth and factual detail. While the guide provided some basic information, the explanations were quite brief and didn't delve into the rich history and context that make Pompeii so intriguing. I was hoping for more engaging stories and insights into the lives of the people who once lived there. Another downside was the guide's attitude towards questions. When I or other members of the group asked for more information, the guide's responses were often dismissive and condescending, which made us feel uncomfortable and hesitant to ask further questions. Despite these issues, the beauty and historical significance of Pompeii itself made the trip worthwhile.
