Guided tour of Pompeii - A very well-organised tour, with our guide Antonio keeping us informed right up until the beginning of the tour. He lead us around the ruins enthusiastically and with a wealth of knowledge. His sense of humour was an added bonus! We particularly enjoyed seeing the most recent excavations and listening to Antonio’s informative explanations. We would recommend purchasing a Pompeii Plus ticket to access additional parts of the ruins.

10000% worth it - Within 2 minutes of the tour, we felt we made the best choice possible. Our guide Ricardo was knowledgeable, funny and so kind. I would HIGHLY recommend going with a guide since you will learn things and understand more than ever possible going on your own.

Amazing tour!! - Tour guide (Ricardo) taught us about the city of Pompeii, the day to day life, and the eventual demise of the city, and also guided our knowledge with some Latin root words for words we use now

Not carried out - Tour organized for months It was canceled due to issues, and I was informed the day before with a notice that I would not receive a refund unless I contacted the manager. Serious manager because the refund was issued immediately, but it was a huge inconvenience. Fortunately, as soon as we arrived, we found a tour with a top-notch guide.
