A must for anyone visiting Pompeii - Sascha , our guide for two hours, was brilliant. He really brought the site to life and cheekily took some short cuts to avoid queues associated with the big groups being herded around. His humour was very welcome as he took us to the major highlights of Pompeii, including the newest discoveries that were absolutely jaw dropping. This tour is definitely a must for anyone visiting the area.

Pompeii tour - Andrew our guide was absolutely the best guide we have ever experienced. He made our tour the highlight of our 10 day vacation. His passion for the history of Pompeii cannot be riveted. Ask for him if you ever go to Pompeii you will not be disappointed.

Perfect tour - very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. - We toured with Sasha who, as a local, not only knows everything there is to know about Pompeii and its history, but took us on a path that kept us in the shade on a very hot sunny day. This attention to our comfort was a small thing that made a big difference. While we were on the tour, we discussed the fact that his father started as a guide in Pompeii in the mid-60's and we ran into another group being led by his uncle. If his father and uncle are kings of Pompeii... Sasha is a prince in the Pompeii tour guide royal family and we were lucky to have him guide us.

Booked and cancelled by operator without explanation - We’re booked on a 2 week cruise with one day where we’re in port and can visit Pompeii. We booked this tour twice and paid in advance and on both occasions the organisers then cancelled it. Not sure if closer to the day the prices go up but no reason given for cancellation. Book but check you haven’t also been cancelled.

Horrific experience with Headout - Disastrous experience with Headout. We were late because we missed a train; our responsibility, but we called before the start time to communicate and see if there could be any solution or other alternative and no one contacted us. When we arrived, we were told that we could not enter without Guide, when we already had the tickets paid with the Tour. After half an hour, a very friendly chic from the theme park did the management and facilitated the tickets so that, at least, we could see it on our own. We felt totally abandoned and were answered the next day with a "copy and paste" of the rules. If you can, choose another operator.
