5.00The tour was excellent! Pompeii is breathtaking place, full of history. Our tour guide Tommaso was very knowledgeable and funny. He made sure everyone is safe walking around the uneven paths and he made the walk around ruins very entertaining, explaining and taking us to the lives of people who lived in Pompeii before the Vesuvius eruption.

5.00I’d been to Naples several times in the past but never went to Pompei. I’m SO glad we did. The place is HUGE. You get an archeological guide who takes you street by street, house by house and explains what happened.
