What To Expect
Archaeological Park of Pompeii
See Pompeii’s ancient piazza and Forum, where business dealings, elections, speeches and processions would have played out during Roman times. Wander the site, marvel at the ancient limestone columns still standing today and capture the centuries-old scenery on camera. Continue onward with your guide to the thermal baths, where many of the townsfolk would have bathed, chatted and lived out their daily lives before the eruption. Wander down Via degli Augustali and discover the Lupanare, Pompeii’s brothel. A 2-storey building with five rooms on each floor, the Lupanare is decorated with some of the city’s most lustful frescoes. Your exact route will depend on the crowds and weather conditions.

5.00From being notified about my pickup point the day before, to the final drop-off, this was an expertly organised tour. Maria, my guide, was outstanding and very knowledgeable. On a very hot day she found the shade, pointed out the highlights and guided us through the experience of a lifetime. To walk the streets that Romans walked, to touch the marble and stone they touched, to see the wall paintings and street signs … it was unforgettable.

5.00We booked the day before and still managed to secure a bus pickup from our hotel (they pick up from a limited list of Napoli hotels). Upon arrival to Pompeii we were sorted into groups by requested language. This part was (dis)organized chaos! We had time to wander in a shop and grab gelato, as our guide arrived late. She apologized (and threw her company under the bus for the error lol). Guide was knowledgeable and informative without overwhelming us with info. Spoke clearly and slowly and catered to her audience (including cracking several jokes) which included folks from multiple countries. She managed the group well, very professional. Back at the entrance, another chaotic scene unfolded while sorting us again into groups based on destination (Napoli, Sorrento, Mt. Vesuvius). But it’s southern Italy so you just go with it. Weather was good, 80f in early June with clear skies. Bring water, wear a hat and sunblock if you are a pale sort like I am. Overall would recommend Pompeii (as if) and would do this tour again.
Worth the money!

5.00Guide makes all the difference! It’s much larger than most people imagine and you need an expert to explain what you are seeing. Flawless coordination. Picked up on time and coordinated with guide and returned to hotel on time., Well worth the money!
Good, fun

5.00Good overall. Be a little patient because the van goes to pick up folks from the hotels and traffic is bad. Pompeii is amazing and interesting.
Wonderful morning in Pompei

3.00you need to clean the bus in between trips and should start the trip timely. we were at the meeting point timely but had to wait about 30 minutes until we got on the bus. Pompeii is worth the trip but being better organized is helpful. after the tour we had to again wait before proceeding back to ship
