5.00Our guide was an archaeologist to was very knowledgeable about the site and had previously done work at Pompeii. It was nice to have a small group because it was a more intimate setting where we move through the site quicker. We were glad that there was a phone number. We used Whatsapp to contact them to pick us up at the correct terminal. only recommendation it would’ve been nicer. If the A tour guide on the shuttle bus had a Mike and had been talking to us from the terminal to Pompeii.

Everything was perfectly organized, and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Our escort Connie was friendly, attentive, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the day. Leo, our guide, was exceptional — knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate, bringing the history of Pompeii vividly to life. A big thank you as well to Antonio, our professional and kind driver, who made the journey safe and relaxing. Highly recommended — a truly memorable experience and one of the highlights of our trip! ⸻

A Day in Pompeii

- Review from Viator
4.00Well organized Tour from Naples Cruise Port. We were shown to a ~20 passenger van for the trip. In addition to the several couples from our cruise ship, we picked up more passengers along the way and ended up with a full bus. This felt more than the advertised "small group." I also need to comment on the driver. He drove quickly and I felt unsafe at several points on both city and highway driving. The on-bus coordinator pointed out a few highlights along the way but she spoke rapidly in several languages which made her hard to understand. I was relieved when I overheard her tell another guest that we would have a different guide for the Archaeological Park at Pompeii. The on-site guide was great. He showed us most of the important places and artifacts in a lively and engaging way. My one complaint here is that the audio headsets did not work well and it was better to stand by the guide to hear him properly. Many tourist sites are hyped and don't live up to expectations. This was not true of Pompeii. It is as amazing as everyone says it is. It takes you back to a time 2000 years ago. A day in the life suddenly and completely unexpectedly terminated over a few hours. I could empathize with what those people must have been feeling. That this was the end of the world. And for many of them, it was. Go to Pompeii. It is worth your time and money.
Pompeii came alive, brilliant tour.

5.00Everything was seamless, from the pick up by welcoming, organised and terrific Connie and a great drive in by Antonio,, and then to be honest, one of the best guides I have ever experienced in Leo, bringing Pompeii to life in a way I couldn’t have imagined, his in-depth knowledge and passion remarkable, making this a memorable day. Pompeii is a once in a lifetime experience, this tour did justice to what is, a wonder of the world .. thank you , Connie, Antonio and Leo, well organised brilliant day!!!
An excellent tour of Pompeii
