Traveler reviews
Highly recommend a tour with Italo!
My partner and I took a 4 hour guided tour with Italo. He is superbly knowledgeable about Pompeii and able to put the sights into a historical context. We wanted to stay longer after the tour and he had excellent suggestions for where to guide ourselves to. The private tour is well worth it for the tailored experience and the ability to navigate around bigger groups.
Pompei in 4 hours - beautiful
I was looking for a longer guided tour than the 2h offers, not easy to find, and with this 4h Anna tour we were able to enjoy so many interesting and beautiful places of Pompei. She captured the attention of the children who came out in awe. Visits that offer Pompei and Herculaneum in one day will make you miss the immense beauty of both sites. If you can extend and spread over two days, and you are passionate about archaeology, this tour is for you. Thank you, Anna!
Amazing 4 hour experience with Lelo - A Must Do!
Lelo was amazing! This was simply the best tour we have ever had and we have had many through Italy to date. Lelo’s obviously is a super top tier accomplished archeologist as everyone knew him throughout the park. Lelo’s English was amazing and his ability to keep our interest was quite frankly amazing. This was so worth the cost ten fold!! My 14 year old son and I were on the 4 hour tour with Lelo and it felt like 30 minutes as we were enamored with the stories, facts, and amazing sites.
Our guide Laylo was...
Our guide Laylo was amazing! Very knowledgeable and able to get us to the front of every line! The 4 hours flew by! He was able to get us a table at the Russo family vineyard following the tour which was a perfect end to a great day! Thank you
Great trip and worth paying to not be in a huge group.
4 hours was a good amount of time to see the main sights. Take a bottle of water with you. It is worth looking round the little museum at the end. Our guide, Roberta, was very friendly and knowledgeable with a good sense of humour. I don’t think she was an archaeologist though which is what was advertised.
