5.00An incredible experience. We visited during the off-season, as a result it wasn’t too busy! Lello, our Archeological guide, was incredibly passionate about the subject. He made it a tour to remember.

5.00It was very informative and a very interesting day. Decided not to come because she was very tired from walking money stairs the day before and Positano and we weren’t sure how many stairs there would be in Pompeii. But she could’ve come because the pump experience is fairly flat. But I also wish they would’ve given me my money back for my wife not attending.
Amazing! Highly recommended.

5.00Absolutely fantastic! Lelo (our tour guide) was super friendly and very experienced in his many years of archeology & teaching. He brought the experience to life, going above and beyond with the details that many others would miss. It was well worth the time and money to have his knowledge. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend. Thank you Lelo! Josh & Isla
Simply the best day

5.00Great day, very informative tour guide and was thorough in her presentation and explanation of Pompei and how the residents lived. Thank you, well worth the money.
The visit to Pompeii without the Lello was not the same!

5.00I was a politician for the day, I had a modest house in mid-town, my wife liked the shops and spa, especially in the up-town area. Lello guided us through Pompei using all of his “family” to explain what it was like prior to the eruption, showing us the fast food restaurants and shops of the day to let us all understand that little bit more. Great place to visit and a great guide, highly recommend.

5.00Our tour guide (Lello) was amazing. He was enthusiastic, engaging and knowledgeable, and he really took us on a journey through ancient Pompeii. He also seemed to know everybody working at the site, so we felt like we were being hosted by a celebrity!
I would do it again and I recommend!

4.00Guia had plenty of knowledge and ran away from very crowded places. Unfortunately I found that we made a very small part of Pompeii.
