Small group tour - Very informative and we learnt a lot about Pompeii. You can see the passion in our guide, Livio, which kept us interested. The kids enjoyed it too

Great Guide & Tour! - Riccardo is a great guide! He takes his job very seriously, and explained the meaning of some terms so that we could better understand the site. He is a funny and kind person, definitely recommended!

Pompeii is awesome! - Great tour of the Pompeii ruins. Our guide showed us all the key sites and brought lots of color to the archaeological sites sharing stories about the ancient owners and their lives. Strongly advise this guided tour over the available self-guided tours.

No clear communication - No-one informed me that Pompei entry tickets bought online through the Tourism Entity would not be available at the main entrance. Even my guide, when I showed him the online QR CODES directed me to the ticket line.I queued for nearly 45 minutes before finding out that I had to go to the Tourism office over1km away to redeem my tickets. By then my wife and I had missed the VIP guided tour that we had paid for. A total waste of time. Never again.
