Pompeii is undeniably the most important archeological site in the world. An entire city perfectly preserved just like it was back in 79 A.D., when a tremendous eruption of the nearby volcano Mt. Vesuvius buried it under a deep layer of ashes and lapilli. Pompeii is very different from any other archaeological site in the world. There are ancient ruins in Rome, Greece, Egypt, Central America and other wonderful places on the planet, but in none of those except for Pompeii you can still walk down the original ancient streets and find them as lively as they were back then. You can walk in the same houses people lived in, in the same temples they prayed in and be in the same places they worked in and they had fun in. You can even still see the tracks of their carriages left on the road surface; the pipes the drinking water ran into; and last but not least, the “petrified” bodies of the victims of the eruption.

What are people saying about Pompeii

Jerome_D, Nov 2026

Wonderful tour

I’ve done a private tour of Pompei before, and it was great. This tour showed different things, and it was also great! The site is so vast and amazing that the tours could be very different experiences. Claudia was an excellent guide—thoroughly knowledgeable, friendly, responsive to requests, and a pleasure to listen to.

Michael_V, Nov 2026

Best guide ever

Antonino is, without a doubt, the best tour guide we have ever worked with. He has a vast knowledge of both Herculaneum and Pompei which he shared generously with us. He also took the time to answer all our questions thoroughly and thoughtfully. As an additional note, we had a number of logistical issues (not related to Viator or A Drive Into the Blue) that he graciously accommodated. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

An intensive visit to Pompeii

During our visit to Naples, we dedicated half a day to visiting the city of Pompeii. We booked a private tour in English lasting more than three hours, which provided a vivid insight into the daily life of a long-gone era. Our guide Ciro was a very knowledgeable (in terms of content and location) and friendly expert, whom we can highly recommend.

Lana_M, Oct 2026

Be prepared and be amazed

The walking is hard in that the pathways are made up stones that are uneven. Wear sneakers. It is fascinating to see the different types of buildings that have been uncovered from bakeries to cafes (?) to villas to baths, to homes. Our guide Luigi was very good and had a nice sense of humor. It was an enjoyable tour.

Guide excellent. Booking mix up.

Clelia was a spectacular tour guide for kids. They loved it and were engaged the entire time. Absolutely recommend her. There did seem to be a mix up with the booking though. Our booking through Viator was at 11am and the guide said it was for 11:30. I don’t think it was her fault, probably the tour company. But it made it stressful and we had a driver booked for a specific time so we didn’t get as much time after our tour as we’d hoped.

Loved Pompeii.

My husband and I did a private tour with an archaeologist and it was a great experience. It was so nice to have that individual attention. Teresa was a great storyteller and was excellent at getting around the crowds so we were in the most popular rooms by ourselves and got great photos. It was perfect fall weather which made the tour very comfortable and there were options to get water, including an ancient fountain on the site. Pompeii is a must see!!!

Pompeii and Amalfi Coast Private Day Trip with Pick Up

An Unforgettable Day & Guide! 🇮🇹💖

Francesco was the perfect guide! He took the time to ask what we wanted to see and then knew exactly where to go and when to leave so we could avoid the crowds. He was a wonderful driver and such a joy to spend the day with—funny, kind, warm, and so easy to talk to. By the end of the day, we honestly felt like we had made a friend! Even after our tour was over, Francesco sent us recommendations for our next cruise stop, even though he certainly didn’t have to. That kindness meant so much to us. This was easily our favorite day and excursion of our entire cruise, and Francesco made it unforgettable. We’ll carry the memories of the places we saw and the time we spent with him for a long time. Thank you, Francesco, for a perfect day! We wish you and your fiancée a beautiful future together. May God bless you and your new little family. ❤️🇮🇹

Guided Tour of Pompeii with Optional Tasting Experience onsite

Jennipher_C, Sep 2026

We opted to do the food...

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.

Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Small Group Tour

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! ❤️

Pompeii Guided Tour with Priority Entrance

A must-do

Very pleasant experience despite the scorching heat of the day. Everything is extremely well organized: the morning visit to Pompeii, before the influx of tourists, the quick but efficient lunch at the restaurant, or even the time left for the ascent of Mount Vesuvius. The guides had incredible energy. If some people are still hesitating to hire a guide, after this experience we can assure you that it is non-negotiable. An activity to absolutely do if you are visiting Sorrento or the surrounding area!

Pompeii Private Tour with Expert Guide

Pompeii all day with Romolo!

This tour with Romolo was truly incredible, and without a doubt, the absolute highlight of our time in Pompeii! If you’re visiting Pompeii and have the chance to tour with him, take it. No hesitation. Romolo was exceptional. His knowledge is deep and fascinating, but what really makes him stand out is how he brings everything to life. You’re not just walking through ruins, you’re stepping into stories, history, and moments that suddenly feel real and vivid. His energy is contagious, and he has an incredible way with people, especially kids. Keeping children engaged in Pompeii is no easy task, yet he had them completely hooked the entire time. They were curious, excited, and fully immersed from start to finish. Out of everything we experienced on this trip, this was the tour we’ll be talking about for years. It was engaging, memorable, and genuinely special. I can’t recommend Romolo highly enough! If you want a Pompeii experience that’s meaningful, dynamic, and unforgettable, he’s your guide.
