A great tour experience at Pompeii

This was my first time booking a guided tour and it is a must for Pompeii. The knowledge and fun that Sergio bought to the tour made it a much better experience than wandering around just looking. The earphone system worked really well and my husband who is hard of hearing could hear everything perfectly. I would highly recommend booking through this company.

Educational and informal

Good tour with a very nice guide (Nicoletta) who knew how to entertain and inform us. The 2 hours will be filled in fine and then enough time to walk around yourself.
