Thank you LuLu and Margaretta - Had a great trip to Pompeii! LuLu did a great job coordinating our trip from Sorrento and Margaretta did a fabulous job teaching us about Pompeii and taking us to the most interesting sites! She was extremely knowledgable! We also appreciated arriving at Pompeii before it opened and having time to get coffee, tea and water before the tour started. Thank you!

Amazing! - What a great excursion! Louisa met us in the AM and gave us very enjoyable info as we drove from Sorrento to Pompeii. She handed us off to our archeology guide and accompanied us throughout the tour. Our guide was incredible and even other guides said we had the best one!

Great trip. - Our tour guide was LULU and what a character she was an absolute gem. From start to finish telling us all about everything in detail. Our local guide in Pompeii was good and well versed in all. A great dinner @ good price in one of the restaurants at Pompeii was organised if you wanted it. The walk up Vesuvius was a good one and loose under foot But the end was well worth it.

Well worth your money! - A fantastic day out! The tour was well-organised and our tour leader, Mimi, made the trip really enjoyable! He kept us entertained on the bus journey (the roads are quite windy at the start so something to bear in mind if you get travel sick). Pompeii itself was amazing but HUGE! Our guide, Max, was so knowledgeable and fun - he took us through the highlights which would’ve been overwhelming if we were self touring. The time was perfect as we finished by 11am when it was just starting to get hot. I can imagine in summer it would be unbearable but it was pleasant in late October. We were back in Sorrento by 12:30. We thought the experience was a reasonable amount of time. A brilliant experience in all - a big thank you to Mimi and Max for making it extra special!

Great tour guide! - The visit to the Pompeii ruins was wonderful. Our guide at the ruins, Max, was wonderful. He was very informative and entertaining. Wear sturdy walking shoes/sneakers as the road/walkways are uneven. We went in late October and it got pretty hot so I can’t imagine how unbearably hot it would be in the summer so prepare accordingly.

Archeological tour, Memorable - Our bus guide Lulu and the driver, Max , were friendly, professional and told us about the area as we were driving to Pompeii! They made the trip to and from very relaxing! Our archeological guide was very knowledgeable about Pompeii and yet made it fun and interesting. As we are older and the steps were high, he waited for us and kept the group together very well. Perhaps, if it is possible, can you add on a 10 min. sit down half way through? Liked that we had some free time at certain spots. Overall this was a very eye opening and informative tour. We are always happy with our Viator tours!

Great tour with good explanations of the history of Pompeii. - Talented and knowledgeable guide of Pompeii; two hours was the right amount of time at the ruins. Purchased “skip the line” tickets which were helpful as the day was busy. Great tour!
