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
Raphaella took us on a fascinating tour of Pompeii covering about 30-40% of the site. She showed us some amazing houses in Pompeii and explained the history of them. The pace was just right allowing us to explore, learn and ask questions. Raphaella was very knowledgeable and made the tour both interesting and fun.

This archeological site...
This archeological site is a must-see. We had a private tour guide who was fabulous. He’s been providing tours for over 22years, thus he provided an in-depth explanation of Pompeii before the eruption and afterwards. I was moved and mesmerized by the whole experience.

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! ❤️

This tour feels...
This tour feels expensive, BUT I am tell you it is not! It is worth every penny. You get easy access to the Pompeii, easy ride into the area to explore. Breakfast provided, lunch provided, and AMAZING information from the guides along the way and guide in Pompeii. A highlight of any trip to the region.

Raffeale was an excellent...
Raffeale was an excellent tour guide, really enjoyed our trip as a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children). Would highly recommend. The tour gave us the location and instructions before it started which were accurate, we had a really good time listening to the history of Pompaii, our tour guide was able and encouraged questions which we found really positive. Couldn't have asked for a better tour guide and so glad we booked it.

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!

A Master Class Given at Pompeii
The entire experience was first rate with Eliana as our tour guide. While my wife and I were a bit worried that much of the information would go over our sons’s heads, it was fantastic. She is not only a tour guide, but THE master archaeologist currently AT Pompeii. She has 25+ years experience digging the site!
She tailored the experience to us and our children (who are mini adults) and answered every single question with such authenticity and detail (I.e., colors of the frescos) that it made me realize everything we missed the first time we came 11 years ago on our honeymoon. She has access to everything, and the seas parted when it was obvious everyone knew her. This was secondary to all of nuanced information she gave about the differences in a “business city” like Pompeii versus Rome, a “political city.”
What’s more, we were given just the right amount of time to recharge halfway through the tour, making the second half more exciting than the first.
We cannot thank Eliana enough for the experience we were provided today. A tour guide is one thing, but a master giving one is quite another.

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!

Beautiful Pompeii
A guided tour through Pompeii is crucial!! Our train was very delayed getting to Pompeii and we missed our scheduled tour. Our guide graciously got us into a later tour. We appreciated the flexibility and highly recommend Viator to all our friends. Pompeii was awesome - thank you!!

Great tour to see Pompeii and Herculaneum in a day
This tour was a great way to see both Pompeii and Herculaneum in one day. mondo Travel were great in communicating to us before the actual tour. Our driver arrived on time and in a late model air conditioned car. Our guide was excellent and managed the tour really well considering it was a heatwave day! Stifling. We were initially concerned that it would be rushed, but Vincenzo was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain things in detail to the group. Highly recommend!

We went to Pompei two...
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.

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.
