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.

5.00Enjoyable trip with knowledgeable guides. We were looked after by Nello to get us to Pompeii, then Vincenzo guided us round Pompeii and was very knowledgable. We were meant to go to Vesuvius but it had snowed! It was closed so they organised for us to go to Herculaneum with Loulou. She told us all about Herculaneum and the comparisons between the two sites. A lot of walking but we thoroughly enjoyed our day.

5.00Anello did a great job keeping our group on time and well informed. It was raining and we couldn't go to Mount Vesuvius and we pivoted to an altante ruin site and the day ended up being fantastic. Highly recommend this tour for it's educational value and great historical information.

5.00This trip was just as advertised. Two hours in Pompeii with a very knowledgeable guide and a stop in Vesuvius with enough time to walk to the top. Nello was a fun guide and the whole day went smoothly.
I am removing a star...

4.00I am removing a star because the company contacted us a few weeks before the tour date to move our tour date to the following day due to low season and low demand. The experience itself was very good. We enjoyed seeing Pompeii with our local guide Mimi. He was very knowledgeable, answered questions and had good energy. Vesuvius was also very good and we were lucky to have great views. The management of tour timing by Roberto was very good.
Amazing Pompeii/Vesuvius trip

5.00Mimi was an excellent guide at Pompeii, hugely knowledgeable, warm, funny and able to provide interesting details without overwhelming. Robbie oversaw the whole day with professionalism and humour. He has a wealth of knowledge in the geography , history and culture of the area as well as expertise on Vesuvius - which he shared with enthusiasm. Our driver Stephano was polite and efficient, navigating the tricky roads with ease. Spotless vehicle too. We were lucky with a clear day in March. A fantastic day for the family who lived climbing an actual volcano!
Great for first timers
