Great experience!

We had a great experience with our guide, Sergio. It was easy to understand and follow he’s lead. He told us many interesting facts about Pompeii and he enthusiastically answered questions in a way that you could notice that he loved his work. We were so glad that we booked wine tasting. We had a really nice time at the restaurant and the food and wine tasted delicious! Sergio gave us a little bonus tour on the way to the restaurant. Again it showed how much loves his work. We are so grateful.

Good starting point for visiting Pompeii. Clear instructions for finding the group, the guide was waiting for us with the headsets

Clear and concise tour, the guide gave us the keys to the site to be able to continue the visit on our own, plan for the day on site. No shade, take a cap, a water bottle, and something to eat.
