Traveler reviews
Amazing! Highly recommended
I was blown away by this tour. The guide was amazing. The tour group was probably around 20-30 people and we had Whisper ear devices to hear the guide throughout. Manage your own expectations; you can’t see all of the site in 2 hours, so the tour guide focused on amphitheater, public bath/spa, a domicile, village square, a bakery, and we saw 4 plaster casts of victims. If you are considering visiting Pompeii I highly recommend this tour. It has been a highlight of my trip to Italy. Also of note: the tour provided transport from the port of Sorrento and picked us up in front of Ruccio restaurant which is literally steps away from the cruise tender point. Incredible value; the cruise excursion to Pompeii was 3x the price of this tour.
So easy
Efficient and so easy with pick up in an air conditioned vehicle. If you want a shorter tour that gives you the main highlight - this is perfect
Hot day in Pompei
Very well organised trip,out guide brilliant.hot day but 100% worth to see Pompei even if only half day.
Great tour with great people.
This is a well organized, professional and highly competent company. Their communication with me was outstanding as they caught a significant error in my booking and adjusted schedule at the last minute due to cruise ship schedule changes. The tour itself including tour guide, coordinator and driver were also outstanding. Overall we had a great tour and felt full confidence in the company and staff.
Informative and interesting.
It was great but a bit hard to understand the guide at first. She got better as the day went on. We learned a lot. Drop off and pickup were just as stated.
