Fabulous tour of Pompei by Giulia
Family of three- we went on a three hour tour of Pompei with our archaeologist tour guide Giulia Musella. What a fantastic day! I am an archaeologist myself (not of the Roman Age) but I can vouch for Giulia’s archaeological expertise.. more importantly, she was a great speaker with an appropriate amount of humour and receptive to the group needs ( water breaks and shade in almost unbearable heat) so that our experience was really very enjoyable. I’m so glad we booked a tour and feel lucky that we had Giulia show us around and teach us so much.
Excellent 3-hour tour of Pompeii
We took a 3-hour tour of Pompeii last week with Alessandra, and it was outstanding. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also had a remarkable ability to explain the archaeology and bring to life the story of how the city was buried and preserved. Her engaging storytelling made the history fascinating and easy to follow. Although the tour lasted three hours, it felt like it was over in minutes. An excellent all-round experience that we would highly recommend.
Highly interesting tour at a historically significant location.
On May 5, 2026, we booked a 3-hour tour with the excellent and passionately conducted guide Pietro, via Get Your Guide. Not only did he speak German exceptionally well, but his archaeological training and emotional explanations contributed greatly to making the time of this tour fly by. What turned out to be fortunate was the timing of the tour starting at 2:30 PM, as there were significantly fewer visitors in the ruins of Pompeii at that time. Thank you very much to Pietro.
Take a tour guide every time!
Our guide, Nicoletta, conducted a very interesting and fun tour. Pompeii is an amazing place and she helped us understand the way it operated in much more detail. Thank you Nicoletta for a great experience.
The best way to understand Pompeii
Our guide Céline was excellent and very knowledgeable. Her archaeological experience of working at Pompeii excavations and abroad was invaluable in enabling her to passionately describe these fantastic ruins. A very worthwhile tour.
