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. The preserved site features excavated ruins of streets and houses that visitors can freely explore.

5.00Great experience and very informative guides. Daniela was wonderful and our guide in Pompeii, Luigi, was very informative. The view from the top of Mount Vesuvius is incredible.

5.00This was a good full day tour broken up into different sections. During the bus ride, Daniela shared facts about the area while Giovanni navigated the streets and curves like a magician. Luigi guided us through Pompeii and shared his favorite spots along the way. The Vesuvius piece was self-guided, with enough time to walk the crater without feeling rushed.
Pompeii is a huge place...

5.00Pompeii is a huge place and having an experienced guide to walk us thru and share information helped to streamline the experience. Our guide Lulu was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic but also patient with members in the group who had a hard time walking on the uneven ground. I can’t imagine trying to do Pompeii on my own.

5.00The excursion was very well organized. Our guides, Max and Isabella were great. Be sure to bring Euro as some of the restaurants, etc do not take card payments.

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Jamaya on their tour to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. Everything was superbly organized, and the entire trip ran exactly as planned, which made the day completely stress-free. Our tour guide, Daniela, was exceptional. She was incredibly knowledgeable—not only about Pompeii and Vesuvius, but also about the local culture, towns, and history along the way. Her explanations were engaging and informative, and she made the experience even more enjoyable. We truly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend Jamaya to anyone looking for a well-organized and enriching experience in the area.
Great day out

5.00This is a well balanced, well organised full day tour. You could spend more time at Pompeii, but what we had in a couple of hours was a very interesting introduction from our guide, Patrizia. And the hike up the final stretch of Vesuvius was timed just about right. I’d say you need to be relatively fit and able bodied, as there is a lot of walking involved. And Dani, our guide on the coach, was very helpful and informative in her own right.
Best way to see Pompeii and Vesuvius!

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.
