What are people saying about Pompeii

Best guide we have ever had!
Romolo was knowledgeable, spoke clear english, witty, kind, but most of all accommodating. My daughter woke the day of our tour with a head cold. I contacted Romolo by WhatsApp and asked if we could reschedule for the next day. He immediately said he was sorry to hear of my daughter’s illness and that he could do the next day.
We used Viator to book the tour and its website clearly says no cancellation or reschedules if within 24 hours of scheduled tour. Romolo did not have to reschedule but he did and we were very thankful. Not only did we get to use the tour we paid for but his knowledge, witty, and fun personality made our tour very enjoyable.
I would highly recommend using Romolo.

Best decision
It was the beast decision. Pompeii are so huge that we would be lost wondering around missing grrat stories about life of Pompeii people. Our guide was energetic and to the point, yet - very concious of kids safety and tempo of the group. We saw many other tours with so many people that guide had to scream for them to hear. Our group was just enough people that we all can relax and enjoy. Very grateful for the agency and oir tour guide 😊

Exceptional experience for our family
Our tour guide Lello was exceptional. He brought Pompei to life for my 8 and 10 year old children and my husband and I leant so much to. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
My son finds it hard to focus for long periods of time - Lello understood this without us telling him and delivered the tour in a way which engaged him.

Excellent 2 hour tour, adults and kids loved it
We had a wonderful time. Marina was so engaging and was able to answer ALL of our questions with humor and great storytelling. We booked a 2 hour tour because we knew our two young kids (9, 11) didn't have the stamina to wander around. Our kids loved it and my wife and I were so happy to have a guide to explain everything to us. In my opinion this is a MUST to have a guide. And hopefully you get Marina!

Great tour of Pompeii when you are short on time
Great 2 hour tour of Pompeii! We were short on time so we scheduled a 2 hour private tour with entry at 13:00. Carmine was an excellent guide. He made sure we saw all the most important sites and provided in depth explanations as well. We never would have seen as much on our own. I highly recommend Carmine as a guide.

This is a must do!!
This is a must do for a trip to Pompeii. They take all the stress out of traveling to Pompeii from Rome. As a matter of fact, the day of my trip, the local train from Naples to Pompeii was on strike. If I didn’t pick this service, then I may never have been able to get to Pompeii.

Fantastic tour of some amazing ruins
This private tour with Antonio was a fantastic way to learn some amazing history about Napoli. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Even had my daughter's engaged the whole day.
Sadly it was cloudy by the time we got to Mt Vesuvius, so we couldn't see inside the crater, but nevertheless, it was still an amazing experience. I'd suggest doing Vesuvius in the morning when clouds are clear.
Highly recommend this tour !

We had the chance to...
We had the chance to visit Pompeii with Anna Sorrento, an archeologist actively working at uncovering the wonders of Pompeii. We could see she was full of passion of this wonderful site and that our short time together wasn’t enough to show us all the secrets she had to share. We had to cut the visit short to take the bus to Vesuvius but we would have gladly spent the whole day with her! Grazie Anna!
After that, we had about 10-15 min to buy a sandwich and hop on the bus for the next part, the visit of mount Vesuvius with Mario. Mario was fantastic, explaining things along the way and guiding us through the (challenging for some) hike up the summit of the Vesuvius. The summit was clouded so we couldn’t see the view of Naples, but Mario still explained what we should see and what the other peak that we saw poking through the clouds was. A special thank you to the bus driver too, for taking us through the winding roads leading up to the summit! Even though we started the tour at Pompeii, the tour bus brought us back to Naples, which save us a trip on the Circumvesuviana. We did not know that was an option and were pleasantly surprised by it.
Overall, a wonderful day spent with amazing people!

Lello was the best guide!
The tour was amazing. Lello as a guide was perfect. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and interesting. He was like the mayor of Pompeii. Having the perspective from an archeologist made the people of Pompeii come to life. If you can ask for him, do it!

Awesome Trip to Italy
Giovanni was awesome! Even though we were running late, he was super patient and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. He gave us clear directions to get there and explained everything really well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about Pompeii — it really made the experience even better. Overall, such a great time — thanks, Giovanni! From our Family Paz Narvaez

Pompeii tour as a family.
It was amazing and very informative. Communication between our guide was clear and precise before (with meeting location and what to bring), and during our time with Eliana. What a wonderful time we had on our private tour. Highly recommend the private tour - before we knew it our time was up.

Me and my friends have...
Me and my friends have nothing but great things to say about our tour.
We were running a bit late, but the agency, the staff and the guides were so helpful in accomodating us.
Don't be running late like us otherwise you might miss out on a great experience.
The tour itself was incredible and skip the line option made it so much better.
Our guide (Alessio I think) was very knowledgeable about the history, the architecture and everyday life of ancient Pompeii.
2:30 hours passed in a blink of an eye.
I really can't recomend this tour enough

Not seeing something you are looking for?
The enormous expanse of Pompeii is hard to grasp until you see it firsthand, so it can be overwhelming to visit without a good guide. Pompeii private sightseeing tours can be tailored to your specific interests, and they typically come with skip-the-line access to avoid long wait times at the entrance. You can even book a private tour with an archaeologist as your guide to get a unique understanding of the historical significance of the discoveries, as well as the ongoing excavation work. Choose a private sightseeing tour of Pompeii to make the most out of your visit.
