    Take water and be prepared for crowds. Know that you will not see everything. Guide was very informative and spoke slow and clearly and answered all questions.

  • Great two hours

    Two hours with a highly knowledgable archeologist really helped understand the stories of the people who lived in pompeii. To see the buildings and the restoration of them was fascinating. Highly recommend.

    Amazing!! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and FUN! Pompeii is absolutely incredible. So much bigger and advanced than I ever expected. A guide really helped us understand what it used to look like and what day-to-day life was like. Highlight of my trip!!!

    Very well organised tour. Use of ear piece receivers means you can always hear the guide who was very knowledgeable. As expected Pompeii was busy but didn’t detract from the experience.

    This tour provides a great summary and gives you the big picture. It is meant to be a point of departure for further independent exploration. Daniella was a great guide. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Pompeii for the first time.
