Amazing
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.

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

Book it! It was one of the highlights of our holiday!
We all thoroughly enjoyed our vineyard tour, tasting and lunch. It started with a warm welcome and then a private tour for our group of 6 around the vineyard in a golf buggy. It's a beautiful place with its own ruins, a stables, a hotel, a small 'zoo' and a pretty outdoor seated area for lunch and tasting. We were initially given a glass of spumanti, which was lovely, and then taken to our table. Our group were sat on our own table and had our own sommelier. She was lovely and really funny. We were given a glass of white, a rose and two reds alongside our lunch, which was also great. We bought another bottle to share as well, although we probably didn't need it! After a long morning exploring Pompeii this was a perfect way to spend the afternoon and one of the highlights of our holiday. It's also very close to the main Pompeii train station - we walked from the park and then got a taxi back.

Antonino was a fantastic guide! Our group included 2 children and 2 seniors, and he was very patient about keeping everyone engaged at their level. He is extremely knowledgeable and we had an exceptional, special trip to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Mount Vesuvius.

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.

Pompeii tour in a few hours.
This tour delivers a good insight to the history of Pompeii in a few hours.
Tour guide was very knowledgeable.
Not suitable for those with accessibility requirements. Wear trainers, take water and sunglasses to protect eyes from dust.
Headphones were given out and easy to use.

Excellent...everything
Small group tour was perfect. I wasn't very excited about visiting Pompeii, but the guide Sonja was spectacular. She kept the tour moving and her narration was interesting and entertaining.
The wine tasting and lunch experience was memorable and delicious. Loved it.
Our driver Gennaro was also A#1!
Book this tour before looking at other providers.

Great visit to Pompeii.
This was amazing. My 3rd time to Pompeii but first time to the Villa of mysteries. A long walk but worth it. We had an amazing guide who is an archeologist that actually works and excavates at Pompeii in the summer season so she was very knowledgeable. She was kind and informative and it made for a great time and great experience. Kids (13 an 17) loved it

Engaging, knowledgeable, fun and interesting!
Our tour guide, Elisa, was amazing! From the moment we walked through the gates she told us what we could see with a very engaging mix of humour and knowledge. She took us to all the best spots and told us many of the stories behind the ruins and had answers to any questions our group had! There was points within the tour where she let us go and wander for 5/10 minutes in places where there was a lot to explore but most of the tour was in our group of 11 which I think was a perfect size after seeing some other tours whilst we were there in huge groups. Thank you for making exploring Pompeii so enjoyable and bringing the history to life!

Pompeii is so expansive...
Pompeii is so expansive so this tour was a great way to see a good portion of the site with highlights. Our tour guide was well versed on Pompeii knowledge and was able to provide excellent history and stories in an engaging way. We spent a couple hours after the tour continuing to explore the site. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to understand more about Pompeii!

Great tour with lots of information
Great tour with lots of information! Mario was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He made the trip a lot of fun. Vesuvius is definitely one of the best things we visited in the area - you must include this activity!!
The hike is physically demanding.
Our only complaint was meeting up at the start of the tour. Instructions said to look for a guide with a sign “Askos” outside Hortus restaurant. The Sign is a clipboard and it wasn’t being held up or visible since Mario was writing on it. Also, the group met outside the Pompei ruins entrance, which is across the road from where we were told to meet. No big deal and it all worked out. Askos were immediately in touch with us to check on our delay so it was all good in the end.

Perfect Pompeii Day with Francesca!
Booking the family option tour of Pompeii with Francesca was the one of best decisions we made in Italy! She was absolutely amazing and truly brought the ancient city to life for our family. Our three children, ages 9, 7, and 3, were completely captivated by her engaging storytelling and incredible preparation. My wife and I were just as enthralled! Francesca's expertise shone as she strategically navigated us through the site, expertly avoiding crowds to give us a surprisingly intimate experience, even on a very busy day. She is so smart, kind, and clearly passionate about Pompeii. She made our visit incredibly special and memorable.
