Excellent Pompeii tour - Our guide Jolanta gave us an excellent introduction to the history, archeology, art and lore of Pompeii, which enabled us to enjoy our visit so much more - we stayed for another two hours after the tour, exploring the rest of the site. Thanks to Jolanta we understood what we were seeing.

Beautiful experience - Super pleasant experience around Pompeii with my family. Sara, the guide, was wonderful. Honestly super nice and fun to follow. Not the first time in Pompeii, but every time I learn something new Tip: if you have a stroller, but your child walks try to leave the stroller at the entrance because it is not the easiest of undertakings to push

More than positive experience! - With our guide Camillo we immersed ourselves in the Pompeii of 2000 ago. A tour that Camillo made unique with his passionate story, rich in history and anecdotes of the life of Pompeians and neighboring areas.

Stepping Back in Time - Pompeii is an unmissable experience and no pictures can give you any sense of the size of the city or the challenge (ongoing) of the excavation. Amadeo was an excellent guide with a lovely personality and bought the city to life for us. Our tour included admission so no queuing involved. The sound system worked well and though it wasn't a very large group, didn't lose any info unless you lagged a long way behind. Our tour lasted 1.5 hours, I would reccomend a longer one although you are free to explore after the tour. I haven't posted any photos as nothing I took could do it justice.

Awesome Spectacle - Just been on an early day tour of Pompeii with guide Roxanne. She was an outstanding guide that got the balance of information spot on & kept us away from the crowds elsewhere, making the 2 hours packed with great insights managing to bring the essence of the place to life!! This made the experience of Pompeii so much better & we then stayed for another 4 hours still feeling we had missed so much !!!
