Pompeii Archaeological Park
Pompeii is a vast archaeological site in southern Italy’s Campania region, near the coast of the Bay of Naples. Once a thriving and sophisticated Roman city, Pompeii was buried under meters of ash and pumice after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The preserved site features excavated ruins of streets and houses that visitors can freely explore.

3.00I would recommend a self guided Pompeii tour with audio guide. Our tour guide LuLu preferred stand and talk versus walk and explore. We could have seen so much more on our own with the limited time we had. Too many references to Mickey Mouse and other nonsensical comments as though we were a 3rd grade class.
Limited photo ops and food choices

4.00Very limited food options. Must walk from meeting point to bus station in Sorrento instead of just meeting at bus station. Bus does not stop fir picture opportunities on way to or back from volcamo
A great tour day.

5.00We were 2 couples from Manchester, UK. This was an early start to get to Pompeii in the morning and Mt Vesuvius in the afternoon. Luciano was our excellent driver, he was brilliant at navigating the tight roads and bends. We arrived at Pompeii early morning and we were one of the first tours to enter this incredible place. We had the place almost to ourselves for 45 minutes. The Pompeii people were so advanced compared to what was happening in our islands at the time, it’s a must visit place without a doubt. In the afternoon, we went to Vesuvius, it was cloudy near the top which was a big advantage as it wasn’t too hot. The coach can only take you so far and the last part is a tough, steep climb to the summit but if you’re able, it’s worth every step to take a look into the volcano which is a sleeping giant. We also had a glass of Vesuvius wine at the top which actually wasn’t bad at all. Thank you to our 2 guides, Nello and Luigi who were both friendly, helpful and informative. So glad we booked this day.

4.00Great trip to Pompeii with the family. Super easy to catch the coach in Sorrento and a well organised trip all round. We were into Pompeii very early so it was really quiet. The guide was very knowledgeable and took us to all the key sights. Afterwards the trip to Vesuvius was all very interesting. A bit of a slog to reach the top but well worth it foe the views and the experience.
Well organized tour that...

4.00Great experience. The guided tour at Pompeii was excellent. The bus was to cramped, seats to close together and uncomfortable. Definitely needs more comfortable transportation

5.00This was a great tour! We beat the crowd which gave us time to see more history of the city. The guide was great, she was extremely knowledgeable of the history of Pompeii; she presented the information in a way that it was exciting and the audience was clearly engaged. You can tell she has been doing this tour for many years. I recommend this tour for anyone who wants to beat the lines and wants to know more about Pompeii.
