Fantastic Tour

5.00We cannot recommend this tour enough, specifically our guide Maria Grazia. Maria is such a wealth of information and is so enthusiastic to share all that she knows about Pompeii. We did the 3 hour tour and we hardly spoke for the whole 3 hours because Maria had so much to share! She expertly navigated the crowds and ruins, quickly directing us to the best sites to view as much as possible in the tour. This tour is an absolute must if you are visiting Pompeii and want to make the most of your time there.
Absolutely Excellent

5.00I highly recommend this 3 hour guided tour of Pompeii. Pompeii is large enough that three hours is not sufficient time to see everything, but our guide, Maria Grazia, did a fantastic job of picking interesting points to stop and discuss architecture, frescos and history. She is quite obviously very passionate about archaology, which made it such a superb experience to listen to her explain our surroundings. Thank you Maria for such a wonderful experience!
Great excursion

5.00Maria was an excellent tour guide, strongly recommend. Very knowledgeable and friendly, Pompeii was much larger than we expected and we spent the whole three hours exploring the park. Answered all of my step father's varied and sometimes excessive questions.

5.00My family and I had a wonderful time touring Pompeii with our guide Luisa! Luisa has an obvious passion for Pompeii and a great depth of knowledge. With the information she shared throughout the tour, we could start to picture what life must have been like in Pompeii. I found myself unexpectedly fascinated by the roads of Pompeii, and Luisa was able to give detailed answers to several specific questions about them. I appreciated the great variety of buildings we visited during the tour, and Luisa gave us excellent recommendations for even more places we could visit on our own after our tour ended. I absolutely recommend going on this tour if you have the chance!

5.00Our tour guide was Amedeo and he was excellent. We went with our 7 year old son and he made a point to keep him engaged. His knowledge was deep and we 110% enjoyed our tour.

5.00Had the best tour with Luciana! We missed a train and were over 40 minutes late and she was super friendly and happily waited for us. She took us thru Pompeii and gave us great insight into many details that most would not know. Super personable and friendly. Would definitely book again with Luciana!
