4.00The tour did not start out very well. We were not able to find our tour guide and during communications with via tour. They kept telling us that they were at the cruise port, but they weren’t finally someone in our group was able to connect with the actual tour operator and he was a mile away at a different cruise port couldn’t come and get us so we had to walk there. Fortunately, they did wait for us. It took us nearly an hour to get to Pompeii once we got to Pompeii. The tour guide was wonderful took us back still would not take us to our cruise port. Come to find out he thought we were at a different port, even though we gave him the name of our ship when it was coming in and so it was just very confusing and very frustrating
Tomaso brought Pompei to life!

5.00A fascinating trip to Pompeii. Paola was our guide on the bus and informed us of the history and what to expect on the way to Pompeii. She kept everything moving and well organised. The tour of the site was fascinating. Really important to have a guide to explain what you are seeing. We could easily have spent more time exploring.
The best tour
