Traveler reviews
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.
Amazing! Loved Alessandra
Alessandra was amazing. Smart and informative and the pace was gentle. She was a wonderful guide! I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants Pompeii with a bit more!
Alexandra the story teller from Pompii
Alexandra is a truly exceptional guide. Her command of English is flawless, but what really sets her apart is her gift for storytelling; she has a unique ability to captivate the entire group and bring history to life. Her deep passion for archaeology shines through in every detail. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience—well done!
