You will be rushed and definitely no no with kids

I wish I could give this tour less than 1 star. The tour started late, which was frustrating from the beginning. Once we finally got going, the guide rushed us through only a few parts of Pompeii without giving us enough time to properly appreciate the site. The most disappointing part was that we were given less than five minutes in the Antiquarium. My curious 7-year-old was especially excited to see the artifacts and learn more about Pompeii’s history, but we barely had any time there before being hurried along. For a tour that cost £150 for three people, the experience was extremely poor value for money. Ironically, after being rushed through the actual tour, we then spent around 45 minutes standing around waiting at the post-tour assembly point, which felt completely unnecessary and wasted even more of our time. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this tour company, particularly to families with children. If you’re looking for an engaging and well-paced visit to Pompeii, I would strongly suggest choosing a different operator.
