Nina was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Pompeii’s history. However, we had a hard time hearing her for most of the tour. With the large crowds and background noise, she could have projected her voice more, and it often felt like she was only addressing part of the group or speaking while facing away. Because of that, we unfortunately missed a lot of what she shared. It would have made a big difference to have headsets for clearer audio. We also felt a bit rushed — there wasn’t much time to ask questions or take photos before moving on to the next stop. While it was great to skip the line, the experience didn’t quite feel worth the price considering how hard it was to follow along.
Personal Guide Frankie made the Experience Exceptional!!!

A MUST-SEE Experience Not to Be Missed!!! Buried under many feet of ashes after 3 explosions, no lava flow, you will learn that so many of our modern-day conveniences were discovered during that time, over 2,000 years ago! Excavators uncovered bodies buried under the thick ash which had formed molds of the people who died. Someone invented a way to preserve those molds with a concrete-like substance allowing visitors to see how the people tried to protect themselves, all to no avail. The molds are life-size and rather chilling. I had no idea of the ingenuity of the people of Pompei—from floor heating to bringing their water into their homes, and so much more.

Hands down best tour we had in Italy!! Frankie was an incredible tour guide - fun, informative, friendly, stuck to the 2 hour time frame. We loved learning about Pompeii, he really helped us imagine what Pompeii was like prior to the eruption that destroyed Pompeii’s civilization. Definitely take this tour and ask for Frankie if at all possible!

It’s a great tour but be aware that it is a lot of walking and at times the ground is tricky to walk on. Our guide, Angelo was amazing! He was very personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend taking the tour with him if possible.
