The itinerary may vary from day to day depending on the opening of certain offices, depending on attendance. One building per category is guaranteed to be visited-1 Temple, 1 Market, 1 Shop, 1 Villa, 1 Thermal Plant, 1 Theater, and the Forum. The choice of buildings visited is determined from time to time by the guide based on attendance, waiting times in case of long lines, or opening hours of the buildings. - The tour includes a visit to a Cameo factory, the Cameo is a typical Roman-era jewel found during excavations at Herculaneum and Pompeii in 1748. In the factory you will be able to see a craftsman at work, the cameo is a piece of jewelry made from congeals and precious stones and is hand engraved by the craftsman. A visit to the factory will allow you to use the toilets free of charge before entering the excavations, so the stop at the Cameo Factory in addition to being informative is essential in terms of managing your visit to the Pompeii excavations.
The tour is confirmed in the chosen language if the group reaches 6 participants; if the group does not reach 6 participants, the guide will be replaced by an audioguide in the chosen language or your choice in an English-language guide.

Loved Pompeii!

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed visiting and learning more about the ruins at Pompeii. Nunzia communicated well with us so we knew how to find the pick up location. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We had audio headsets which helped us to hear the guide when we were not right next to her. My only wish is that we had more time after the tour to enjoy some pizza and a drink. Thank you!

5.00This is a fantastic experience, though requires a lot of walking on uneven ground. Out guide Lio was amazing, so friendly, welcoming and happy to answer all questions that we had. He chatted with everyone and made you feel it was an individual tour and not a group tour. The site was extremely busy and it was very hot, so we would recommend a hat and also very comfortable, flat shoes due to the terrain. The price of the excursion was very good and great considering it includes pick-up and drop-off. There were however 2 down sides. We were picked up at the port of Naples, beside the cruise ship terminal. This was easy and Danielli was very friendly and welcoming. However, once on the coach, we had to go to the train station and waited in the minibus for around 30-40 minutes (very warm day), for another group. However, on the return journey, there was only one drop-off point, which was the cruise terminal. Unsure why this couldn't be a single location for pick-up, as it meant that we lost valuable time from our holiday, sitting around, waiting. The second issue was the driving of the minibus driver. Mostly he drove very fast and at one point, we had to go through a toll booth. There was 2 cars and a motorbike I'm front of him, he was driving very close. As the vehicles in front went through the toll, he sped up without notice and the barrier came down suddenly in front of him, causing him to brake erratically, we were all slammed forward and one passenger crashed off her seat and onto the floor. This was so very dangerous and somebody could have been seriously hurt. More care and attention should have been taken. Whilst I wanted to ensure that this was included in my review, I would still say that this tour is very good value for Morey.

5.00Pompeii needs more than a day to see, but it is worth the trip. Spectacular! Wish we had more time. We had a little rough start, but Walter was a great guide.
