Pompeii Guided Tour From Sorrento⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00The meeting point was exactly where we were told it would be and our guide, Mena, was already there when we arrived. Mena gave the whole group headphones, train tickets & a card with an emergency number. Then we boarded the train to Pompeii & we all met up on the platform there. We then had a coffee & comfort break before we went into the Ruins. Once we got inside Mena’s passion for Pompeii shone through, and she navigated us expertly around the site, divulging lots & lots of interesting facts, with a good bit of humour thrown in. We got plenty of chances to take photos, with Mena advising us on the best spots to take them. It was a great time of the year to go as the weather wasn’t too hot & it wasn’t overly crowded yet still busy. But without doubt I’m so glad we were with Mena as both myself & my wife would have been lost as to where to start & end our walk around the Ruins. At the end of the tour we returned our headsets to Mena and we could make our own way back to Sorrento at our own leisure as our train tickets were flexible. So we had lunch nearby before we got the train back. Mena’s passion & enthusiasm for Pompeii is definitely what made the tour so memorable, and I would highly recommend it⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00Gino is fantastic as a guide! Express tour is more than enough of a tour, because it would take 5 days to see it all.
An amazing tour with an enthusiastic guide
