Outstanding
Very educational and fun tour. Our guide Paola was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of her experience growing up in the area. She even made us a video of our tour set to Dean Martin's "Thats Amore" song. Highly recommend you take this tour and have Paola as your guide.

Tony was amazing! He...
Tony was amazing! He picked us up directly from our hotel and dropped us off there again. He was so knowledgeable on the ride to the separate locations and was an excellent tour guide once there. He answered all and any questions we had ranging from Pompeii to generalized Italy questions. He also helped us get tickets for my Vesuvius when I was unable to on the website. If you pick this tour it will be so informative, fun, and overall a great way to spend the day touring 2000 years ago! Definitely will be back and using him again for other tours!

Unforgettable Pompeii experience
Booking this tour was the best decision we made during our trip to Italy. Our guide was fantastic! She kept my 12-year-old engaged the entire time. Her storytelling is very interesting for both kids and adults. She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. At the end of the tour, my son told her, "Thank you, you are the best guide ever". This experience will be forever in our hearts and totally worth every penny!

Worth every penny!!!
Absolutely book this tour without hesitation - worth every penny! We had the absolute privilege to have Daniela as our guide and cannot imagine how we would have gotten anything nearly as special out of a larger group tour. Beyond the dedicated attention of a private guide, it was the attention that Danela brought to small details that we certainly would have otherwise missed that made this an even more powerful experience. Her passion for Pompeii and what she does is obvious and infectious. So grateful we got to spend three hours learning from her and her expertise bringing Pompeii to life! Grazie mille Daniela!!

This tour was awesome....
This tour was awesome. Our driver was Gianluca and he made the whole trip. He was so nice and helpful. He was domaines things during the drive. We got to see the Amalfi coast and then Pompeii. He also hooked us up with a tour guide in Pompeii who was amazing. He was so funny, knowledgeable and took us to places away from the crowds. He also took pics of our group along the way. This was the best tour of our trip. Highly recommended.
The downside was I did not get my Viator rewards with this booking. Although this had nothing to do with Gianluca or the Pompeii guide.

Highly recommended tour!
Excellent tour! Our group was a bit worn out after touring Herculaneum earlier that day, so we asked Eliana if we could condense our Pompeii visit to 90 minutes. Not only was she flexible, but she also saved the day when I realized I only had a voucher instead of actual tickets. She graciously helped us navigate the ticket office (pro tip: buy directly from the official Pompeii site!) despite the time crunch. Eliana quickly pivoted and curated a 'greatest hits' route that covered every major area. We were especially in awe of the new house and bakery her team is currently excavating—truly fabulous stuff! She is personable, incredibly knowledgeable, and answered every question we had. Highly recommend!

Amazing day at Pompeii
My family and I had a great time on our tour of Pompeii with Marily. She is a great guide - very knowledgeable and personable. She showed us interesting highlights and shared a lot of great knowledge throughout the tour. It is clear that she is interested in the history of the area and her enthusiasm made the tour that much more enjoyable for us. I would highly recommend this personal tour to get the most out of a visit to Pompeii.

Eliana and Pompei- perfect bucket list experience
Ever wait your whole life to see something, only to fear the experience won't live up to the hype? For me, that was Pompeii. I'd been waiting since grade school to walk those streets.
I'd hyped myself with visions of ornate beauty. But that was tempered by the math. Pompeii at its peak was home to nearly 20,000 people. Today, with huge portions of the city still unexcavated, there are typically that many tourists or more all jostling to see the same things.
I braced for the worst.
Thankfully, my wife hired Eliana Sandretti as our guide. Confident, easy going, and carrying more knowledge than any one person should reasonably possess, she managed to make it feel like we nearly had the city to ourselves.
She steered us through the ruins and around the tourist chokepoints without ever making us feel rushed or stalled. The tour moved at our pace. She took time early on to understand what mattered to us, then built the experience around that.
Her eye for detail — sharpened through years as a working archaeologist — consistently surfaced things we would have walked right past. Even more compelling were the stories she told about the people: how they lived, and how they died.
By the end, you'll find yourself glancing uneasily at Mt. Vesuvius, quietly hoping today isn't the day it decides to finish the job.

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.

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.

Amazing experience in Pompeii Ornella
Ornella was a fantastic guide for our private tour of Pompeii. She was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history to life in such an engaging and meaningful way. Her warmth and enthusiasm made the experience even more special, and she tailored the tour to our interests without ever making it feel rushed. We’re so grateful for such a memorable visit and would highly recommend her to anyone exploring Pompeii.

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

Not seeing something you are looking for?

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.
