What are people saying about Pompeii

Paul_E, Apr 2026

Just the right way to see Pompei

Livio was a lovely guide. Funny and interesting and the pace was great. Pompei is superb and so huge that a guide is really sensible. I often hate being trailed around and kept from exploring at my own pace, but this worked well thst you got an expert overview and then released to explore on your own terms afterwards.

Must do!

Claudia was kind, helpful and really showed us some of the hidden gems of Pompeii. There were so many small things we would’ve overlooked if we were just walking this on our own. Especially with the multigenerational group it really helped us appreciate the archaeological wonder and the history that goes along with this really precious site. It’s not the kind of place you just check on the list. You really want to understand it and we can’t recommend doing it with a guide like this enough!

A great tour. A great tour guide. Alessandra was an amazing tour guide. She has great energy and has an amazing amount of knowledge of the site. This tour hits many highlights and when the tour is over we were able to stay and walk the site on our own until the site closed. Highly recommend.

Alexandra was a fantastic...

Alexandra was a fantastic tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, engaging and there was a good bit of humour too. Thank yiu Alexandra! It was good to be able to stay on the park for longer than the 2 hour tour as well. Really needs a full day at least to see everything. Fascinating place.

A Stress-Free Day, a lifetime of memories

The day was so easy. Pastries and coffee was the best we had in Italy. Travel in the minivan was comfortable and relaxing. Seeing the Amalfi coast was breathtaking with Italian music playing. Pompei in a small group made the experience so much more enjoyable. We could have not asked for a better guide than Luca. The tour company is very lucky to have him. Years from now, I will look back on this tour with great fondness.

Mario Celentano was a great tour guide!

Our tour guide Mario Celentano was very informative and knowledgeable about Pompeii, and he was very patient to answer all of our questions. Thank you Mario for all the fun facts! Your English is great! - From the American guy in blue vest who probably asked too many questions today

Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Small Group Tour

Our day exploring Pompeii...

Our day exploring Pompeii and the Mount Vesuvius area turned out to be one of those unforgettable travel experiences that remain special precisely because of their surprises. We started in Pompeii with our guide Raffaela, who was simply exceptional. She’s one of those rare guides who mix deep archaeological knowledge with a warm, engaging storytelling style that makes the ruins feel alive. Even with a light, on-and-off drizzle, she turned every stop into a meaningful moment — explaining the city’s layout, daily life, politics, art, and the very human stories behind the stones. Her passion and clarity made the tour absolutely perfect. For the Vesuvius portion, our guide Mario took over. He was friendly, attentive, and very transparent about the changing weather conditions. We drove all the way up to the upper access point of the volcano, but just as we were about to enter the crater trail, the park authorities closed the path due to heavy rain and thick fog rolling in. Visibility dropped dramatically, and the weather turned harsh — absolutely beyond anyone’s control. Mario handled the situation brilliantly. Instead of ending the day early or leaving us disappointed, he immediately proposed an alternative: visiting Herculaneum (Ercolano). And what a brilliant choice that was. Even with rain still falling, exploring Herculaneum turned into a deeply rewarding experience. The site is incredibly well-preserved, more intimate than Pompeii, and full of details that help complete the picture of what life looked like before the eruption. It ended up being a highlight of the day, and absolutely worth it. Overall, this tour delivered everything it promised — and when nature forced a change of plans, the team transformed it into something equally memorable. For anyone dreaming of hiking up Vesuvius, I’d recommend choosing a season with more stable weather, as closures can happen suddenly. But rain or shine, this tour offers rich history, fantastic guides, and a genuinely meaningful experience.

Highlight of my holiday

We had a great time on our private tour around Pompeii with Italo- he was a brilliant guide, really knew his stuff and had a nice relaxed style too. Obviously the site is massive so we didn’t get to see everything on the tour, but we saw some of the main headlines and it helped having a guide to point out all of the little details that you’d easily miss on your own. Once the tour was completed Italo left us in the forum area and showed us how the grid system worked and that meant that we could use the map provided to go and see other bits of the site that the tour hadn’t included. A great experience.

Great 2hr tour of Pompei ruins!

My husband and I had a wonderful time learning some history, science, and archeology from our tour guide. He was very open to and knowledgeable about the questions we had. We would have loved to explore the whole space with our guide but when our tour was finished, he helped send us in the direction we were interested in continuing to explore. I would highly recommend!
