Wow! Amazing tour with VR to see how Pompeii once was. - This was just about the most incredible tour experience I've had in my life. And everyone in our party agreed. Pompeii is so magical and this tour with the virtual reality really brought to life the ancient Pompeii as it once was. The VR is a brilliant addition. Our guide, Imma, was so sweet and knowledgeable. We got to see the all the main sites plus some off-the-beaten-path spots. Flashback Journey to Pompeii, you made our trip! Thank you so much!

My husband and I did this tour with... - <p>My husband and I did this tour with our sons ages 11 and 14. We thought the tour was very informative about the Pompeii ruins and we thoroughly enjoyed the virtual reality aspect. My husband is a computer scientist and my older son plays a lot of video games. While they both wished the graphics could be better, we all agreed that historical recreations were an excellent use of virtual reality. It added a new dimension to what we got out of our time at Pompeii. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the tour in its current form and I look forward to what virtual reality will provide in the future. Our tour assistant was extremely helpful. She made sure we enjoyed our tour and helped us budget our time with both the virtual reality stops and our picture taking opportunities.</p>

Top assistance - I highly recommend this structure for the extreme availability of the assistants, especially ANAS who, with his greeting, his smile and his translations from Spanish into Italian, made our holiday unforgettable. Thank you Anas for your kindness. See you soon, the family of three with the "glutenfree" girl. Laura

VR is a must for Pompeii! - Using the VR really helped bring the Pompeii experience to life. I travelled with 8 year old and 6 year old boys and they generally struggled to pay attention with traditional audio tours but the VR videos really kept them engaged throughout the 2 hours and couldn’t stop talking about it after we finished. Highly recommend this!

Great Tour - Our tour guide, Nina, was very good, but if you plan on going as a big group I would definitely suggest doing the VR tour as we did or get a tour which includes a headset. The city is super crowded and it was very difficult to hear at times.
