5.00Great tour! Our guide was informative, interesting and funny. He made our tour of Pompeii a terrific experience. We were not rushed and got to see so many of the ruins while learning so much about life in Pompeii. I would do the same tour again without hesitation.

5.00An amazing guide archaeologist Leonelle gave us an informative and enpertaining guide of Pompei. Highly recommend. In my opinion please do not even consider visiting without a guide. The area is vast and you would never realise some of the small and interesting details of life in Pompei without one. Don't hesitate to book.

4.00Lilo(?) was very knowledgeable and made it fun although it was extremely long and it was hot. My feet were sore even in sneakers. Felt like “speed dating “ but truly worth the walking. Learned so much. Enjoy history so it a great tour for us.
