The Pompeii tour was one... - The Pompeii tour was one of the best tours we have ever had. Sasa, our tour guide, brought Pompeii to life. He was full of historical facts, presenting them in a light, sometimes comical manner. I am recommending this tour to everyone!

Great small group tour - Being in a small tour group gives you a great experience to hear stories and ask questions. Our guide Frankie made it very enjoyable and offered humor along with the somber history from 79 A.D.

Wonderful Pompei guided tour - It was wonderful. Driver and van were excellent. There were just a few of us and the tour guide was very good at explaining and communicating to us what we were seeing.

Pompeii - From start to finish, Sasa provided an enormous amount of Pompeii history that we do not learn in history books. Sasa's historical explanation of the entire site left us wanting more. Compared to the Pompeii, the USA is an infant! Thank you, Sasa, for a very memorable experience!

Very good tour, especially for the price!! - Wonderful driver picked us up in a beautiful car right at our hotel doors and drove us to our meeting place near the gates of Pompeii. We had to wait for a while for the other six people in our group to arrive, which was the only drawback, however we enjoyed a cup of cappuccino while we sat. Our guide, Anna, was incredibly knowledgeable and showed us important areas with great detail that we never would have learned if touring the area on our own. The same driver, Manuela, drove us back to our hotel after the tour and was kind enough to drive us through a village where some of my husband’s family came from. Just a heads up that Pompeii is obviously an ancient site with lots of uneven surfaces. This is not the tour for anyone who isn’t comfortable walking and balancing on very uneven ground.
