Frankie was an excellent... - Frankie was an excellent guide. He took us to the best parts of Pompeii in the short amount of time the tour covered. He was very friendly and spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about the area and Pompeii itself. The pick up location was not great for coming from the port as it was about a 35 min walk. Other than that, we had a great time!

The tour was very well... - The tour was very well coordinated with the driver and the tour guide. Kudos to our tour guide, Francesca, whose knowledge of the history was extremely detailed and she made certain to point out many things that made the tour so memorable. I highly recommend that you take this tour with Franchesca if you want to really learn about the history of Pompeii

Pompeii - Follow Frankie - Mama Mia! - At first, you have to remember that there is a meet-up point, which meant you had to find your own way there. Once there, the guides quickly assembled us to get on the right bus to be transported to Pompeii. We arrived early enough to sit for a quick snack. Then we met Francesco, who called himself Frankie. This was a 3-hour guided tour. He kept us close to him, and he personalized every bit and reminded us that we have to imagine ourselves 2000 years ago! Those Romans, Mama Mia! Follow Frankie. (Was his signature saying, which we will never forget!) He was articulate and spoke clearly. So professional and yet so personal. I highly recommend this tour. Little time for any shopping for souvenirs, so get that out of the way when you first get to Pompeii. We were dropped off at the same meeting point and had to find a taxi fast so we wouldn't miss our ship's departure. This driver was excellent and got us there with time to spare.

Our tour guide Frankie... - Our tour guide Frankie was hilarious and very knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed Pompei, so much bigger than expected and many parts in incredible condition. The tour was well organised but the transfer to and from the site was pretty poor. On the return journey the driver drove like a maniac, tucked about 2 metres behind an ambulance doing 140kph, which is too fast when the seat belts don't work and the driver was on the phone for the entire journey. I don't appreciate reckless driving when our lives are in their hands. Overall we would recommend but the transfer team need sorting out

Mama mÃa! Follow Frankie…anytime! - Do NOT hesitate to book this amazing trip! So much fascinating history preserved beautifully. We were blown away at every turn. Frankie was incredible. He was so full of great information, and made this ancient city come alive with his stories and descriptions. His fabulous sense of humor kept us laughing all along the way. He is a true gem! Honestly, he made our trip. Mama Mia!

95% listening, 5% seeing - Skip the line was nice but the tour was frustrating because we did not have much time to explore- the guide spent 95% of the time talking through the history, next to a wall or in an archway and then we would have "3-4 minutes" to see everything before meeting up again at the next far-away meeting spot. Others said he just "liked to hear himself speak." Comparing this tour to another one, I feel like we really missed so much of Pompei. We could hear this info AS WE EXPLORED, we did not need to pull over to the side just to listen only and not see.
The guide was also uncomfortably inappropriate with a young girl in the tour. Both she, her mother and the other guests were visibly put off by the way he spoke to her, especially regarding some nudity (making a very big deal out of her seeing a male artwork's anatomy) - it was cringe-worthy.

Great tour of Pompeii, but transportation had issued - Tour guide was awesome and very knowledge. Booking said we’d be picked up 30 minutes before which was not the case, drivers were rude.
