What are people saying about Pompeii

10/10 would absolutely recommend
This was a phenomenal experience. I have always wanted to visit Pompeii, but I did not want to deal with a group tour. Hiring a personal tour guide for my family was the best decision and amplified my experience 10 fold. She was also very good with kids and definitely enabled us to have an enjoyable trip that could have possibly been cut short with our kids getting bored. She was able to give them enough insight and explanation that kept their attention without making them feel like this was a full on learning experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable as well and had a good answer for all of our questions. I will be recommending this service to anyone I know in the future that plans on visiting Pompeii.

Wow!!!
Our guide, Clelia, was absolutely amazing! Our kids, 9 and 12, learned a ton and so did the adults. I’m so happy the kids were engaged as she painted a picture of ancient culture and traditions, bringing Pompei to life for all of us. It was super hot, but the time flew, she made it so interesting. Absolutely perfect tour, I would recommend for all families! The site is massive, you could spend forever there, I was so happy with our small group, kid focused experience.

Dino our personal driver was the best!
Highly recommended. Prompt pick up. He sought us out.
Spacious van. He gave us water and refreshing wipes. He offered several times to take pictures of us with stunning backgrounds. Constantly checked in with us during our drive make sure we were okay. He even walked us up to Pompeii entrance and made sure we got in the right line We drove through the Almafi coast several curves and crazy drivers everywhere. Dino did this with ease. We felt safe. I especially did not worry about time as he knew when we had to get back.
Little bit of a language barrier as he is learning English. He mentioned this a few and I felt he’s really trying! Overall we understood what he was saying.
Can’t say enough we were very satisfied with the tour and Dino. Great experience.

Great tour and the perfect length
We had a great tour with Alona! We covered so much ground while not getting exhausted - the tour was the perfect length and she provided so much background without it feeling like too much. Also, I tripped early in the tour and Alona brought medical support over right away so I could enjoy the rest of the tour. Highly recommend this experience!

The Pompeii guided tour...
The Pompeii guided tour was wonderful. My family and I enjoyed it very much. The archaeological site itself was fascinating, and our guide made the experience even better with their extensive knowledge and engaging explanations. We learned so much about the history, culture, and daily life of ancient Pompeii. The tour was well organized, informative, and enjoyable for both adults and children. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Pompeii.

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

Pompeii and Vesuvius
We did Pompeii and the Vesuvius hike. Antonio was a perfect guide through Pompeii. I only wish we had more time! Combining the two activities wasn't ideal for us because we would have liked more time to walk around on our own. The Vesuvius hike was well worth it and a good workout. The views were amazing.

Friendly, Patient and Knowledgeable
Antonino was the best experience we had on our visit to Naples. He picked us right up from our hotel and gave us a knowledgeable tour of both Pompeii and Herculaneum. My wife is not the history buff that I am so he took care to not overdo it. I can honestly say we would not have had as easy and enjoyable of time if it wasn’t for him. I would recommend Antonino to anyone wanting the full archeological tour experience. He even dropped us off at the port afterwards so we could board our ferry to the next adventure.

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.

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!

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.
