5.00This excellent tour was a very emotional one, as you really felt like you got to know the Pompeians and how their everyday life was so similar to our own in many ways, from the spas, to "fast food take out", and many many more. So many beautifully preserved mosaics and frescoes! You filled your water bottle using the same fountain that these people did so many centuries ago! The tragedy of it all really hit when viewing the casts of the people and pets, frozen forever in their last seconds of agony. So very, very moving!! Our guide, Patrizia, was wonderful!!
Fabulous tour of Pompeii with Mimi

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. Danni was a great guide. Everything was well planned. We were able to see much of the area even though it was one of the busiest days of the year. Thank you very much to the staff for an excellent job.

5.00Great visit to Pompeii. Tour guide Mimi was excellent and entertaining. A must do activity. Bus ride was very comfortable but hit traffic back to Naples. Glad we went on the early trip out of Sorrento. Easy meeting point. Time to get coffee and breakfast once in Pompeii.
Would recommend (from a skeptic)

5.00Always skeptical at booking these things before you even get to the country visiting, but so glad we did. Email updates regularly and the team were very efficient. We met at the meeting point where abouts 4 other tours were leaving from. One member of staff directed us to the correct group leader for our trip and they had our names ready to check-off. We got our earphones kit and checked it was all working etc. The coach to Pompeii was high quality, comfortable and with A/C. Max was a laugh leading the transfers giving information all along the ride there, which was calm and comfortable, not like the horror stories of Italian driving! Getting to the entrance point of Pompeii a different member of staff had collected our tickets and getting in was easy, no queing. Patricia, our guide was also great, very informative and kept the pace around the large (and hot!) site at an easy pace, full of information they you just wouldn't appreciate if you didn't have a guide, throwing in the jokes to keep us laughing. I would definitely recommend this trip. There was maybe a 5min wall k to the bus from the meeting point in Sorrento centre, an hour or so to get there (setting off at 07:30 ish) and a 2 hour or so tour without too many other visitors blocking views/photos and sights. Returning the same way.
Brief, but excellent tour
