Amazing. - Great experience. The two hour tour was perfect introduction to the history of Pompeii and the people. Then we had plenty of time to explore on our own and at our own pace for the rest of the day. Alessandra was very knowledgeable and shared personal experiences as an archeologist at the site.

This is a must do!! - This is a must do for a trip to Pompeii. They take all the stress out of traveling to Pompeii from Rome. As a matter of fact, the day of my trip, the local train from Naples to Pompeii was on strike. If I didn’t pick this service, then I may never have been able to get to Pompeii.

Great Guide highly recommended - Sergio was our guide and he brought Pompeii to life. He was excellent with in depth knowledge of the site and life in Pompeii before it was buried in ash. He also talked us through the different stages of discovery. It was well worth the fee and highly recommended.

An extraordinary visit thanks to our guide. - Our guide Suzie is a passionate person who, thanks to her clear explanations, taught us a lot about the way of life of the inhabitants of Pompeii. We were able to visualize what they fed on, where the food came from and how it was stored. She explained the painting techniques and the origin of the colors (egg yolk, rust,...). She described to us the fineness of the jewelry found. Each place visited told its story through Suzie's words.

Alessandra was awesome! - Would recommend the tour to everyone! Alessandra (archeologist) gave a great tour bringing us back to the day of the eruption and explaining to us the lifestyle of that time as we walked through the ruins.

Paolo was very... - Paolo was very experienced in showing us around vast Pompeii. He guided us through various parts of the preserved city highlighting how the community once lived. 2 hours was definitely not enough time to take in this experience. The tour is slightly up hill and on rocky terrain so prepare appropriately.

Pompeii with Anna's eyes. - Pompeii is pure fable and poetry. But the magic 'was possible thanks to our guide Anna Sorrento, professional archaeologist, highly trained, engaging, friendly enthusiastic, beautiful and brilliant. My husband and I did the tour on January 28th under a relentless rain and despite this Anna with her charisma and her smile made us immerse ourselves in the original Pompeii making us forget that it was raining. Great judgment then and congratulations to the Tour Operator for having such a good Archaeologist in his Staff. Thank you Anna from the heart. Elena and Marco
