We opted to do the food and wine portion for this tour. The tour itself was great. Our guide is also an architect, so he was very knowledgeable about everything. It gets very hot so make sure you bring a fan, hat, and/or umbrella to help with that. The tour was about 2 hours and although there is soooo much to see, I feel like we saw a pretty good amount of Pompeii. After the tour, we were taken to the rooftop of a restaurant where we were served wine, cheese, meat, olives, and bread. We also got a really cool view of the city of Pompeii from the rooftop, which we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise.

Great Tour Very Accommodating Guide
Amazing trip w Alona!! if you’re going to do a private guided tour, I highly recommend asking for her. She’s been doing this for 10 years and took really good care of our family who arranged an age from 78 to 13!
We learned so so much. She took us opposite of the visitors so we never stood inline. Thanks Alona!!!!

Great tour, exceptional guide!
Roxanne was a wonderful tour guide. She had a great energy and spirit about her and was so informative the entire way through our tour. We would really recommend this tour guided. I could not imagine being able to appreciate it quite as much without the knowledge Roxanne provided.

Practical points first -...
Practical points first - carry water, use the toilet before you start. 3 hours is a long time although our guide (Sonia) made it fly by.
Hats and stout shoes essential.
It is an amazing tour with lots of information - well worth having the guide otherwise it is just ruins. The guide really brought it to life.

Pompeii tour with a Archiologist
People with mobility issues may find this challenging. Marco was a fantastic guide and arrived right on time. The site is so much bigger than expected and without a guide like Marco we would have been lost. He also did his best to keep us in shade while explaining various areas.

Amazing and unforgettable experience
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Amazing Experience at Mount Vesuvius
Our visit to Mount Vesuvius was truly one of the highlights of our trip, and our guide made the experience even more special.
He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and incredibly easy to communicate with. We learned so much about the volcano, its history, and the surrounding area, but what I appreciated most was the personal touch. Our guide was attentive to our needs, answered all of our questions, and made us feel comfortable and welcome throughout the entire experience.
What really stood out was the passion and enthusiasm our guide brought to the tour. It never felt like we were simply being given facts—it felt like we were sharing the experience with someone who genuinely loves the place and enjoys helping others discover it.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. A wonderful guide, a beautiful experience, and a memory we will take with us for a long time. Thank you for making our visit to Mount Vesuvius so memorable! ❤️

Perfect day Pompeii/sorrento
Perfect way to spend the day! Our driver Alex took great care of us and was good company along the way. Our guide st Pompeii, Grace, was so knowledgeable and being from Pompeii could provide personal insights that enhanced the experience! I highly recommend both!

Private guided tour is a must!
Our private tour of Pompeii with Italo was absolutely fantastic and easily one of the highlights of our trip to Italy.
We spent two hours exploring some of Pompeii’s most fascinating and important sites, and Italo made the entire place come alive. His knowledge was incredible, but what really set him apart was how he shared it, he was engaging, funny, and full of great stories rather than simply reciting facts. He gave us a real sense of what everyday life was like in Pompeii nearly 2,000 years ago.
We were traveling with our kids, and Italo was wonderful with them. He kept them interested and involved, answered all of their questions, and knew exactly when to add some humor. He was incredibly kind, personable, and patient with our entire family.
Having a private guide also made a huge difference. In just two hours, we saw an amazing amount without ever feeling rushed, and Italo knew exactly where to take us and what details we would have completely missed on our own.
If you’re visiting Pompeii, ask for Italo. He turned an extraordinary historical site into an experience our whole family will remember. Five stars without hesitation!

Great Day on the Coast
This tour was incredible. We spent the entire day with Gianluca, and he made a point to remind us that we should relax and he will figure out all of the timing details and we shouldn't worry about a thing. Claudia gave us probably one of the best tours we have ever done in her walking tour of Pompeii. She was so knowledgeable and was an absolute pleasure.
Due to timing, we hit "only" two towns - and we let him choose. We did Positano and Ravello - and of course drove by the others. We didn't have any particular spaces to see in mind so we let him choose. Gianluca is from the area and grew up on the coast - so he knows every road and town very well.
He picked us out a great spot for lunch and gave us time to explore at our leisure. He was always a couple of steps ahead and it was great to learn about the coast with someone who is so proud to call the area home. He has a great sense of humor, was incredibly friendly, and made sure we were comfortable and happy with our day.
Prior to booking, I researched several other tours that basically do the same tour. But, the others seemed to complain that the driver wasn't friendly or informational - but Gianluca is both. He told us if we would prefer to keep it quiet, then he would not talk and let us enjoy. We wanted to hear, so we told him to talk as much as he wanted to!

Awesome Tour with Amedeo!!!
This was an amazing tour with Eliana Sandretti tours! Amedeo was so informative about the city, culture and history. There is no other way to see Pompeii without a private tour and especially with the expertise of an archaeological! Amedeo was accommodating and answered all our questions. You can feel his passion for the city through his explanations and detail. Amazing and unforgettable experience!

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.

We went to Pompei two weeks ago and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was very knowledgable he helped us find the best spots for taking pictures and made sure that we saw all the best of Pompeii. He made recommendations of other things to see when the tour was over and encouraged us to explore on our own. Our guide was the best and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone else coming to Pompeii.

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.
