Amazing kid-focused tour
We had a wonderful family-focused tour of Pompeii! Our guide did an amazing job bringing the ancient city to life while keeping both adults and children engaged. The stories, interactive questions, and thoughtful pace made the experience fun and educational for everyone. We learned so much and appreciated how patient and knowledgeable our guide was. Highly recommend for families visiting Pompeii!

Get this tour guide with Daniela!
Daniela was our guide for Pompeii and connected with me via WhatsApp a few days prior to our tour. We met at restaurant suisse near the Pompeii entrance and she did a fabulous job explaining all the details of Pompeii in 2 hours for our group of 12. She was very patient in making sure everyone (kids and grandparents) kept up with the group and took pics for us as well. Easy to understand and a pleasure to learn from! If you bought tickets but don’t have a guide, I highly recommend getting one otherwise you don’t know what you’re looking at. There were so many people who didn’t have a guide who listened in ours when possible.

Amazing!
Our guide RAFFAELE was amazing!! He was extremely kind as we had difficulties finding the group at the meeting spot he waited for us and was easygoing about the situation as we felt very stressed for being late he assured us not to worry. He was very knowledgeable about Pompeii and included a few small bits of humour which kept it light and interesting. He also tried to get us in as much shade as possible as the day was very hot. Thank you RAFFAELE !!! <3

Outstanding driver for...
Outstanding driver for the day and excellent Pompei guide; after the Pompei tour, driver took us to a vineyard/olive orchard/citrus orchard/ vegetable garden for a tour and a lunch tasting. All foods and wines were from the farm and the entire lunch was farm to table. Finished with an excellent local Limoncello. Then off to Revalo and Almalfi; perfect 8 hour tour

Antonio was an excellent guide
Antonio was an excellent guide, explaining things clearly including the options at end of the tour. He also involved different members of the group by asking questions and asking them to demonstrate such as how the road would have been crossed when it was raining.

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!

Exactly what we were...
Exactly what we were looking for. Meeting place was clear, tour guide (Enzo) was passionate and engaging, leading us to all the key highlights of the ruins, as well as giving us tips for our own continued exploration after the tour. We were so glad we booked this!

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.

“I Came, I Climbed, I Conquered!
The hike is absolutely doable—but don’t let that fool you. I made plenty of “strategic” and "photographical" stops along the way 😄. You’re climbing a steady 12% grade for about 20 minutes, with a few short bursts that feel more like 18% just to keep things interesting.
But once you reach the top… wow. Standing at the edge of the crater is one of those moments that makes every step completely worth it.
We had a guide named Mario—super knowledgeable, quick with a joke, and clearly passionate about what he does. If you have the option, definitely ask for him.
The only downside? It was extremely cloudy, so the views were pretty limited. That said, it didn’t take away from the experience. There’s something surreal about standing on a volcano that wiped out entire cities.
All in all, a once-in-a-lifetime experience—one you’ll be proud to say you did (and survived 😁).

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.

Great 2hr tour of Pompei ruins!
My husband and I had a wonderful time learning some history, science, and archeology from our tour guide. He was very open to and knowledgeable about the questions we had. We would have loved to explore the whole space with our guide but when our tour was finished, he helped send us in the direction we were interested in continuing to explore. I would highly recommend!

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!
