Engaging, knowledgeable, fun and interesting!

Our tour guide, Elisa, was amazing! From the moment we walked through the gates she told us what we could see with a very engaging mix of humour and knowledge. She took us to all the best spots and told us many of the stories behind the ruins and had answers to any questions our group had! There was points within the tour where she let us go and wander for 5/10 minutes in places where there was a lot to explore but most of the tour was in our group of 11 which I think was a perfect size after seeing some other tours whilst we were there in huge groups. Thank you for making exploring Pompeii so enjoyable and bringing the history to life!

Great tour but started late!

The tour was great and very informational! The only complaint was the tour was a half hour late which messed up our car service for pickup!

Project Napoli Service’s poor organizational skills keeping guests and guide waiting an hour before being able to begin

Interesting presentation by guide, although we didn’t get to see the House of Fauna. Guide was 15 min late and once there, our group had to wait an addionnal 45 min for the tour to start. Excuses were given such as ’delays in getting tickets for site’ (which should have been done before as guests had to pay ahead! No sign withnames of guests or ’business’ name available so we haad to search around for the tour operator. No apologies given!! Never again with Project Napoli Service. Very disappointing.
