A must with kids!!! - We won the lottery with Roberta! From minute one she was able to captivate our group of six kids aged 3-13 through gamifying the experience. We did the later tour (1:30) which allowed us to take our time with the train getting there and the big morning crowds had left. Truly cannot imagine doing this with kids without Roberta and her magical ways. Thank you!

Best Tour Guide in my life! - Loretta our tour guide was hands down the best tour guide I have ever had in my life. Other tours I’ve been on in the past felt rushed and hectic, but Loretta was incredibly gracious and even though our group was an hour late, due to our U ber driver never coming to pick us up, she waited for us!!! On top of that she had a wonderful way of really connecting with our kids , and my wife and I. Her level of knowledge was truly, massively impressive and she has an innate ability to describe everything in a way that really kept us all engaged and delighted! We did not feel rushed at all, and even though we were very late, she went above and beyond the tour end time and stayed with us for over an hour after the scheduled end of the tour. She was so kind and nice to all, it really felt like taking a tour from a family member! Her positive attitude was infectious. We had more than an amazing time and we left there feeling very inspired and grateful to have been able to share time with her. I would do the same tour over and over again. Thank you Loretta!

Fantastic way to see... - Fantastic way to see Pompeii. While we didn't get to see a ton of the city, our guide was amazing with our youngest, keeping her highly engaged the entire time--not an easy feat. She made Pompeii memorable for everyone. If you're going to Pompeii, especially with kids, this is the way to go.

Outstanding tour - This was hands down the best tour I did in Italy with my two kids aged 7 and 13. Our guide Maria was out of this world phenomenal. I could have stayed there all day listening to her. She brought the whole place alive and kept all 3 of us fully engaged. I can’t say enough good things about her. Do yourself a favor and book this experience!!

As good as the reviews make it out to be - We just finished an 8 night Mediterranean cruise and this was my family's favorite activity. We met our tour guide Roberta at a cafe next to the entrance to Pompeii and she took us through the skip the queue line and security with ease. She made the tour engaging and made our 11 year old son interested and answering her quiz questions throughout the tour. She kept his attention for the duration of our time together. This tour was well worth the money!

Best family tour of Pompeii! - Ines was amazing. She kept both me and my kids (ages 11 and 14) super interested and did her best to keep us in the limited shade as we walked through Pompeii. She really knew her stuff and the area.

Perfect in every way! - 10/10. Highly recommended. Would do it again!
This tour and our guide, Roberta, were perfect in every way for our family. After nearly two long weeks in Tuscany and touring the Mediterranean, our kids had exceeded their history limit for one trip. Our 8 protested and almost didn’t leave the room.
By the time we were finished, she said it was her favorite part of our vacation!
We booked the earliest time - 09:00 - and right when the site opens. Roberta knew to take us the “back way” and do the park in reverse to avoid the mobs. She made the tour fun and engaging for our kids with quizzes, scavenger hunts, and games. With the June heat, growing crowds, and no heat to be found, 2 hours was the perfect duration.
Sure, we could have stayed longer and checked out more on our own, but we were exhausted and had seen enough that we didn’t feel guilty leaving when the tour ended.
