Sufficient tour of Pompeii - This tour included transport to and from our hotel in Sorrento. We met up with our guide outside of Pompeii's entrance. Salsa was our guide. He speaks several languages and was fluent in English. He provided a nice overview of the history of Pompeii. The tour is exactly two hours and is curated to show you the highlights of the town. My sone would have appreciated a slightly longer experience however overall you get a very good understanding of its history. It's a must to have a guide to visit the ruins for an optimal experience.

Best of Pompeii - Sasa, our guide, was passionate about the history and antiquities of Pompeii and gave an excellent tour. He was engaging and entertaining and managed our group so that we avoided crowded attractions and revisited them when we could get closer. We felt that we experienced the best of Pompeii, learned a lot, and all thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

A must do!! - Our guide Frankie was fantastic, funny and full of knowledge. He was good at keeping us away from the crowds. The two hour tour was a perfect amount of time. There is somewhere to get food, but it’s busy and a little chaotic, so I’d recommend bringing your own drink and snack if you think you’ll need it. The only thing I thought was missing was a chance to go to the gift shop.
