Traveler reviews
Great tour!
Sergio was a great guide! His knowledge of the city made it more interesting to view all the sites.
Pompeii in a day
Extremely thought out by the guide in terms of where to go when. She was very knowledgeable & informative without getting boring. Would definitely recommend this tour company & guide.
Visiting Pompeii was an...
Visiting Pompeii was an unforgettable experience. Walking through the ancient ruins felt like stepping back in time, and it was incredible to see how much of the city is still preserved. Every street, building, and detail told a story, and it really made history feel real in a way books can’t capture.
A must-do experience
Pompeii was definitely a more in depth experience with a guide. Antonio was a perfect blend of information and fun.
DO NOT Book
EMBARRASSING!!! Guide was absent and no refund was issued. Nonexistent professionalism. Upon our arrival, the guide was not there, and when we requested to be put in contact, we were told that they could not call her.
