Excellent highly recommend
Excellent 2 hours with Antonella she was so knowledge and passionate about Pompeii and archeology and we really enjoyed the tour. The site is so big it gave us a good introduction to some key parts. We really enjoyed seeing the area currently being excavated.

Fantastic tour of Pompei!
If you are considering a trip to Pompei, this is the guide service to use. My family of four just finished a 3 hour private Pompei tour with Carmine. It exceeded my expectations! Carmine was born and raised in Pompei and has been giving tours for 22 years. He knew all the best spots for us to stop and knew how to avoid all the crowds. It was a fascinating tour! We would have missed so much doing a simple audio tour. I highly recommend!

Visiting Pompeii was an unforgettable experience. Walking through the ancient ruins felt like stepping back in time, and it was incredible to see how much of the city is still preserved. Every street, building, and detail told a story, and it really made history feel real in a way books can’t capture.

This was such a great experience. It’s a HUGE city and this tour gives you the 2 hour brief highlights (PERFECT for those who lose interest or grow tired beyond a few hours). You get the history and the fun, but since the city is huge, it would be so hard to navigate and enjoy alone. Do this trip!! And our guide, I believe her name was Marilyn & I apologize if I’m incorrect, was so fun and great at her job!! Loved it

Guided tour of Pompeii
A very well-organised tour, with our guide Antonio keeping us informed right up until the beginning of the tour. He lead us around the ruins enthusiastically and with a wealth of knowledge. His sense of humour was an added bonus! We particularly enjoyed seeing the most recent excavations and listening to Antonio’s informative explanations. We would recommend purchasing a Pompeii Plus ticket to access additional parts of the ruins.

Fantastic experience!!
This was such an incredible tour. Being with a private guide and skipping all the lines was worth every penny. Our guide was Vitelo and he was excellent. We were able to see so many fascinating places that we would have missed otherwise. Highly recommend doing this tour In Pompeii.

Absolutely wonderful day out!
What a really fantastic day! Everything was wonderful from start to finish. Luca and Josh (I hope I got that right) were just brilliant. Professional, friendly, fun and knowledgeable. We had a lovely breakfast of pastry and coffee, then on to Pompeii, which is the most extraordinary place. Our guide there was so enthusiastic and informative. Following that we drove to Sorrento, stopping along the way for photos and yummy lemon treats. Our lunch was superb sitting by the sea. Thank you so much and I’ll never forget driving along the Amalfi coast singing ‘Volare’! Just one of the best days ever.

Good tour
This is a very exertional hike up Mt Vesuvius and the uneven ground in both locations are challenging for anyone with mobility issues. However, it was great day, the archaeologist was very informative and the hiking guide very cautious and attentive. It was basically like two different tours and after the archaeologist left us in the ruins area, we had to find our way back to the front, try to find food and restrooms on our own before meeting the afternoon hike guide.

Pompeii
Italo was a fantastic guide for 2 hours around Pompeii. Very relaxed, humorous and knowledgeable. Went by train from Sant Agnello which took about 50 minutes. Went in April. Wouldn’t like to visit in summer though. I expect it would be difficult to get around

For nerds - it’s a must!
Truly an experience I’ll treasure for my life. If you consider yourself a nerd (as I do), this is worth the investment. It gives you the opportunity to delve into the history or science that interests you. RECOMMENDATION- figure out what you want to see or learn about to help the guide tailor your 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!

Pompeii is one of Italy’s most popular attractions, and the well-preserved buildings and roads of the city can give you a greater understanding of ancient Rome. Don’t miss out while in Italy—there are Pompeii day trips you can take from Naples or Rome, so you have a bit of flexibility with your itinerary.
