Half day Pompeii experience - Alisa was extremely knowledgeable about Pompeii she used numerous humourous
quips drawing parallels with common jargon and dailey life of Pompeii In just 2 hours she showed us the major sections: pick up was very efficient. communication was good on what's app and email. All round excellent value for money.

Worth every penny. Don’t miss it! - Absolutely fabulous! From the convenient pick up to the comprehensive guided tour everything was well thought out, explained and efficient. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and she had very good English. It’s an incredible place to visit and the tour made it more so.

Just go. Don’t think, just go. - The old city is amazing to behold. Like a snapshot in time, even more so than other ruins in Rome or surrounding areas, in my opinion.

Worth it - Our tour was led by a lady named Eliza or Liza and she was great. She mixed up information, interesting stories and bawdy humor to keep us engaged. Pompeii itself did not disappoint with the ruins still in great condition. This tour was definitely worth it

Moody pompei - It was well organised and efficient. Sadly we got separated from our guide very early on so we have missed on majority of the commentary but we got a great opportunity of discovering pompei quite freely.

Pompei half day - The tour guide was lovely and very informative
However the transport to and from the venue left a lot to be desired. Utter chaos and a lot of time wasted standing around

Awful - Then can pick us us up for the wrong tour. We had 4 hours before getting in our cruise and the driver kept saying it was 8 hours. At the ruins, it was complete chaos. Completely disorganized. A group of 40 people and the leader forgot her flag. Lost her within 5 minutes of going into the ruins. She was like a bad elementary teacher to begin with. Seriously awful
