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.

Pompeii is a must see; be flexible and enjoy

5.00We booked the day before and still managed to secure a bus pickup from our hotel (they pick up from a limited list of Napoli hotels). Upon arrival to Pompeii we were sorted into groups by requested language. This part was (dis)organized chaos! We had time to wander in a shop and grab gelato, as our guide arrived late. She apologized (and threw her company under the bus for the error lol). Guide was knowledgeable and informative without overwhelming us with info. Spoke clearly and slowly and catered to her audience (including cracking several jokes) which included folks from multiple countries. She managed the group well, very professional. Back at the entrance, another chaotic scene unfolded while sorting us again into groups based on destination (Napoli, Sorrento, Mt. Vesuvius). But it’s southern Italy so you just go with it. Weather was good, 80f in early June with clear skies. Bring water, wear a hat and sunblock if you are a pale sort like I am. Overall would recommend Pompeii (as if) and would do this tour again.
Worth the money!

5.00Guide makes all the difference! It’s much larger than most people imagine and you need an expert to explain what you are seeing. Flawless coordination. Picked up on time and coordinated with guide and returned to hotel on time., Well worth the money!
Good, fun

5.00Good overall. Be a little patient because the van goes to pick up folks from the hotels and traffic is bad. Pompeii is amazing and interesting.
Wonderful morning in Pompei

5.00Wonderful experience and company!! We were a group of 7 and they picked up and dropped us off at our hotel in Napoli. Made it pleasant and stress free. Katia was an excellent guide! She kept us all interested and engaged!! Highly recommend her tour to f Pompei!
you need to clean the bus...

3.00you need to clean the bus in between trips and should start the trip timely. we were at the meeting point timely but had to wait about 30 minutes until we got on the bus. Pompeii is worth the trip but being better organized is helpful. after the tour we had to again wait before proceeding back to ship
Very disorganized.

- Review from Viator
2.00The transfers were very disorganized, lacking clarity, especially on the return. There was a lack of opportunity to explore more of the interior of the park, especially the museum, given the very limited time, where it is worth noting that the guide during the tour was one of the highlights of our journey.
Fantastic experience

5.00The tour was very interesting. Our guide, Alex, spent two hours with us exploring Pompeii: with great professionalism and expertise, and especially with great friendliness, he shared the history of what was this enchanting city, even with anecdotes. The children were also very enthusiastic about the explanation. In conclusion, everything was excellent, especially our guide!
Not what we expected in terms of arrangements

3.00The tour of Pompeii itself was excellent but basically all Project Napoli do is arrange transport. Dumped at the end (on the road, not at the port terminal), with one word from driver "porto". Pleasant but rather chaotic half day.
Pompei ruins tour with Maria

3.00The ruins guide named Maria was very difficult to understand. Her English language ability was marginal.
