Great day out! - Fantastic choice for us to take on this tour for our limited time in Sorrento. Staff at the TT Sorrento Station office are friendly and well informed, providing us with detailed information for our outing. This particular excursion did not disappoint. We’re able to walk to the station from our hotel and then after a 30-40min train ride to Pompeii we were met on the first floor by our guide Nic and we set off from there. We were swiftly through the huge site in just over two hours. Upon reflection we’re so glad that we didn’t attempt this on our own - many visitors not on a tour were obviously lost, tired and hungry. There currently is nothing provided for visitors within the site ie w/c, seating/snacks. All of that it outside the Pompeii site. Highly recommend this tour operator for your stay in Sorrento

Very simple process - Saved myself 50% by using Tempio. Very easy to book and pay at Sorrento train station. All tickets put in an enveloped and all explained before we boarded the train. Non pushy.Everything went seamlessly.

Well worth a visit and definitely do a guided tour! - This was a great tour and well worth the money. We were about to buy a train ticket from Sorrento and thought we’d just walk around ourselves but the rep at the station was very informative and we are so glad we took her advice and booked the walking tour. The guide was lovely, spoke perfect English and was very interesting. We had little ear pieces so we could hear him clearly. The Pompeii Ruins are fascinating. It’s a lot bigger than I realised so make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes! A lot of it can be tricky to walk on and some elderly people struggled a bit. But I highly recommend visiting and definitely do a guided tour!

Good information. - This was a very informative tour of Pompeii and the headphone made it easy to hear the guide, even in such a large group walking over a big distance. She explained things well to understand life in an ancient Roman city.

Well Guided. - The reception when we reached Pompeii station was well organised. We were directed straight to the Tourist Office and handed over to a young lady who helped us get an entrance ticket then introduced us to the guide. She explained the entry process and an added bonus is that we all got eat pieces which enabled us to hear her presentation throughout. It was hard going because of the intense heat but the guide chose shaded places when possible for the stops along the way. Definitely worth taking the tour and you are free to stay on afterwards to visit more areas. We took in the Collusium.

Excellent service and a fantastic guide at Pompeii. An easy and fascinating way to experience Pompeii. - We booked out tour the day before at the Tempio Travel office at the train station at Sorrento. The service was so helpful there and the price was very reasonable. On the day, our guide was fantastic. So knowledgeable about Pompeii and it’s fascinating history. Everything went so smoothly and it was an excellent way to see some of Pompeii.

Great Tour would recommend - This tour company is right at the Sorrento Train station. We were planning on taking the circumvesuviana train and exploring Pompeii on our own. The tour organizers were outside asking people if the wanted to do a toru and after talking to him we decided to do the skip the line tour and I am glad we did. We booked tour and took train and met a designated spot at the train station in Pompeii. We were very glad we did the tour. It was informative and also they take you to the spots that are of most interest. The archeological digs cover a big area and the tour allowed us to be efficient. Once tour is done you can stay and continue to explore. There is a cafe on the site and was nice to get the overview and than explore more. Would recommend to take a tour and this one did a nice job.

Great tour, but poorly organised prior to commencement. - Great tour. However, rating reflects the booking process. The tour did not start at the advertised meeting place or time. The start time was at Pompeii and after booking we were told to be at the meeting place 2.5hours prior despite the company having an office at Pompeii. Recommend others book directly and engage with the office at Pompeii Scavi. Recommend the company update their instructions to reflect the actual times and places.
