What To Expect
Archaeological Park of Pompeii
See Pompeii’s ancient piazza and Forum, where business dealings, elections, speeches and processions would have played out during Roman times. Wander the site, marvel at the ancient limestone columns still standing today and capture the centuries-old scenery on camera. Continue onward with your guide to the thermal baths, where many of the townsfolk would have bathed, chatted and lived out their daily lives before the eruption. Wander down Via degli Augustali and discover the Lupanare, Pompeii’s brothel. A 2-storey building with five rooms on each floor, the Lupanare is decorated with some of the city’s most lustful frescoes. Your exact route will depend on the crowds and weather conditions.

5.00Fantastic tour, we really enjoyed our visit to Pompeii. The port pick up was very well organised and we were dropped back to Naples with plenty of time to explore the town area and grab some delicious local delights for lunch. Our guide was excellent, she was very knowledgeable and shared so much information with us in a fun and engaging way. Absolutely recommend this tour
Highly recommend for a short Pompeii experience

5.00The Pompeii tour started with a pickup from our hotel, and then it was a short 30 min drive to Pompeii. We did have to wait 30-45 min for our tour to start, which was annoying. But once it started, wow! Our tour guide, Elisa, was informative, interesting and charming. We could easily have spent more than 2 hours there. Highly recommend for anyone with a short amount of time to explore Pompeii.
Wonderful and interesting tour.

5.00I loved the guided tour of Pompei. We always use a guide because they have great knowledge and stories to share. I read before and after the tour but I like to focus on the site during the visit and just listen to the guide with the speaker. Guides are all different and have been all great!
Great time although from pick up to drop off

5.00Everything was very smooth and straightforward. The pick up was in time and the journey wasn’t too long. Not too long wait for the tickets for the entrance at Pompei. The guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, funny and it made the tour 100% enjoyable. The tour around Pompei was couple of hours, just the right amount of time if you are travelling with a child. Definitely will recommend
Pompeii ruins and laughs.

5.00Very well organized and easy to be a part of this tour. Pick up and drop off and the drive from the Napoli Train Station was quck. The tour guide was excellent and the ruins and and stories behind them are great. Our guide was both knowledgeable and funny and answered everyone's questions. The group wasn't too big and didn't move too fast or too slow. We had our two childrent with us, 2 and 6, and with the young one in the stroller, it worked out well.
Overall....a Good Tour

5.00Overall, this was an excellent tour if you have limited time. Felt a bit, not bad really, just a bit disorganized, but once it got started, was an excellent tour with a wonderful tour guide.
Great tour!

5.00Loved Pompei and our guide. So knowledgeable and approachable. I think the 1/2 day tour was just the right amount of time. Only thing I would recommend, is better communication as to how the travel to Pompei worked. We were picked up by a private driver, then transferred to a small bus of maybe 15 in town. We just didn’t understand what to expect from that aspect.
The Italian guide that...
