The best way to experience Pompeii- right from booking to drop off - amazing. - We had a great day with our tour guide Anna and our driver Luigi their knowledge of not only Pompeii but the whole area is outstanding. We combined the Pompeii experience with an Amalfi Coast tour so it was a big day, however Anna and Luigi were on point the whole time, they arranged lunch for us at an amazing restaurant in Ravello with amazing views and ensured we had the best seat in the place. Once at Pompeii the combination of Annaā€™s in depth knowledge and passion for Pompeii and the use of the VR experience meant that we were all able to really understand and gain true appreciation of the times we were looking at. This tour was one of the best we have done both for knowledge, professionalism and effort of the staff and the use of different tools such as VR to create a truly immersive experience. From booking to the drop off at the end of the tour it was great. Highly recommended.

A not-to-be-missed tour of Pompeii! - Such a unique and exhilarating experience! Putting on the headset while being inside the ruins is as close to time travel as I could've imagined. I was able to experience how life in Pompeii was 2,000 years ago. The volcano eruption scene captured the intensity and emotion of a historic moment in time. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and really made the experience special. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Pompeii. This tour is an absolute must!!! Great for kids too.

Worth every cent! - Except for the delay due to ticketing issues at the start of the tour, we (my kids especially) enjoyed the tour very much. The 3R Virtual Headset helped them visualise what the guide was talking about...even my youngest who wasn't following the entire "story" had something to look forward to between stops. Visuals & narrations were clear and guide was helpful in guiding us on how to use the headset. It made the entire experience wholesome!
