5.0This was a great tour. Our guide was very passionate and informative about the site. This is a large place and she told us what to look for as she navigated up and down the streets and in and out of the buildings.

5.0The whole experience was mind blowing, we learned so much. Anna Sorrento was our guide who was amazing, and an archaeologist too and taught us so much. You could spend more than a day here exploring everything, and there’s still so much to discover. Thanks so much for an amazing tour!
Amazing.

5.0Pompeii is much larger and older than you would expect. The history and the civilization and culture are fascinating. The 2 hour small group archeologist tour provides plenty of detailed information and visits many significant spots. Our archeologist tour guide Alicia was excellent! You’ll have time afterward to tour on your own to see other notable spots like the music and poetry amphitheater, the theater, and the large amphitheater which is the oldest known amphitheater in the world.
