What are people saying about Pompeii

Fascinating Tour!
Alona our tour guide via Viator took us for an amazing 3 hour private tour of Pompeii. She was friendly, polite, and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Pompeii. She took us to see the hidden gems of the ancient city. We learned so much from her and the history of Pompeii that we would not have been able to learn if we had visited on our own.
Pompeii is huge. Make sure you wear sturdy shoes because there are very uneven surfaces everywhere.
Our family really enjoyed the tour and learned a great deal.
We would highly recommend Alona!

Pompeii Guided Tour Review – April 2026
I recently visited Pompeii on a guided tour in April 2026, and it was an unforgettable experience. Although I don’t recall the name of the tour company, the experience itself was exceptional.
One of the highlights of the visit was exploring the preserved shops along the ancient streets, which offered a fascinating glimpse into daily life in Pompeii before the eruption. Walking through these historic areas felt like stepping back in time.
Overall, I would rate this tour 5 out of 5 stars. It delivered a perfect combination of history, immersion, and expert guidance.
I highly recommend a guided tour of Pompeii to anyone interested in ancient history or unique travel experiences.

Arizona in Italy
Well all that I can say is “Do this” Josh and Roberto were our hosts for the day. They were absolutely the very best. Kind, attentive, informative, they thought of everything. We had a wonderful breakfast with authentic Italian pastries that were to die for.
We also stopped at a roadside stand and had a lemon granita…and a little taste of limoncello.
Then off to Pompeii where Gino gave us a great tour.
Found it so very interesting.
On our way back to Rome, we had great views of the Sorrento coast, stopped at the perfect restaurant and had delicious pasta,wine and of course tiramisu. The entire day was perfection and such a treat. Would book with them again!

Roberto was a fantastic guide
This was an excellent tour. Just the right length. Roberto was an expert guide with so much knowledge to share. He made Pompei come alive with facts and anecdotes. We would never have appreciated the site as much on our own and we’re glad to have chosen this tour.

Highlight of our holiday
Brilliant tour with enthusiastic and knowledgeable archaeologist guide. Gave insight to pompei and what it would have been like as a foreign sailor arriving before the eruption, the places they would have gone and what it would have been like. We could never have understood pompeii without this tour. Very good value for a small group (15) and amazing the day we went as only 4 of us! We saw lots of huge group tours going round and even with the full 15 this would have been so much better than the standard tours. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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 Amazing View from Vesuvius
Both of my guides were excellent for Pompeii and Vesuvius. They were knowledgeable and had great descriptions and explanations of the ruins and their society. Simona was our guide up to Vesuvius summit, she was wonderful and encouraging to those of us that struggled a little to make the climb. I did it! If I can do it almost anyone can. It was an amazing experience and view. I recommend this tour for sure!

Great day!!
What a fun day- our driver Raffaele was knowledgeable about the area, friendly, and engaging. We also opted for a private tour of Pompeii with a tour guide Andrew. He brought the history to life and was a great storyteller. We had a great experience and would highly recommend this tour!

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.

Lelo, our guide was...
Lelo, our guide was fabulous. Witty, energetic and so incredibly knowledgeable. You could absolutely tell he knew the site inside and out after having worked on the digs for ten years.The two hour tour just flew by and every minute was really enjoyable

Not seeing something you are looking for?
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. Some day-trip options pair Pompeii with another destination, such as the Amalfi Coast or the island of Capri, and some include an expert guide to help you make sense of the site's history.
