5.00A very nice tour led by Italo who was fantastic! The tour was thorough and covered all the key areas of the site, Italo’s knowledge and commentary made it quite educational and entertaining at the same time. The site is huge but also full of many tours going on simultaneously so be prepared for that. At the end of the tour you are free to stay and continue on by yourself. Highly recommended.
Amazing. Book this tour!

5.00There are obviously lots of tours to choose from. The choices are overwhelming. Stop searching and book this tour. Our guide Lalo (I might be misspelling his name ) was one of the best I ever had. He is like the mayor of Pompeii and knows everyone. All the guides seem to go to him for advice. He is very knowledgeable, entertaining, and engaging and speaks perfect English. Totally worth it. Stop your search and book this tour.
Great Day at Pompei

5.00Excellent tour of Pompei led by our really knowledgable guide Italo, whose vast knowledge of the history of the site made the tour both interesting and amusing. Even though the site was very busy our guide managed to navigate our small group around all the key sites whilst avoiding the majority of the pinch points. The train station is only 5 minutes from the entrance to the ruins and we used the Campania Express pre booked train service which ensured we had a comfortable journey from and to Sorrento A great day out
Very knowledgeable guide....

The best way to tour Pompeii with a knowledgeable tour guide

5.00This tour provided us with a comprehensive insight and tour of remarkable Pompeii. Led by tour guide Anna, the skip the line experience was excellent, avoiding wasting precious time lining up. Anna took us to an extensive number of points of interest. We wouldn’t have been able to navigate our way to the points of interest as quickly and efficiently as Anna did, she also help navigate around larger tour groups . Anna is a wealth of knowledge and provided very interesting commentary throughout the tour. This is quite simply the only way we would tour Pompeii - and highly recommend this tour to others.
