5.00This was an amazing tour with very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide Roxanne, who made it a memorable experience! She was easily the best tour guide that I ever had! Remember to wear proper hiking shoes and note that the ticket does not include extras like visiting Villa dei Misteri, which can be purchased separately and well worth the price. Many thanks again!

5.00This was well worth the extra cost. Marlo Celentano was very good at explaining everything and was able to also answer deeper scientific questions about the escalations and life in Pompeii.
Breathtaking
