Pompeii Small Group Tour with an Archaeologist

Hua_S, Jun 2026

Nice tour about Pompei ruins.

The guide is very nice and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the ruins, totally more than 2 hours. Very hardworking. Only thing is the gathering point was wrongly by using Google map. It should be at the main entrance, left side. The guide should show their sign more clearly.

Pompeii 2h Small-Group Tour with Expert Archaeologist

Stephen_H, Jun 2026

Highly recommend this tour and Manuela.

Manuela was an excellent tour guide. She was smart and interesting to listen to. We enjoyed our tour very much and would highly recommend taking a tour led by her. This tour was also a perfect length to introduce so many facts about Pompeii. We had to leave a few minutes before the tour was over, but all the information she gave us left us wishing for more time to explore.

cathy_p, Jun 2026

Great tour of such an expanse of space.

Pompeii is huge and taking a tour makes the whole experience more manageable. Yolanda was wonderful and shared so many insights on the life of the people and the history. Bravo to her for stopping a tourist who was trying to cut the line! It is a lot of walking with no sitting breaks but we did have a couple of water stops and a restroom break at the end. The ear set made it easy to listen to our guide. There’s very little shade so hat, sunscreen, sunglasses are recommended.

Andrew_B, Jun 2026

Great private Pompeii tour

Excellent tour. Pompeii is now a huge site with so much to see. Our private tour with Alona was great. She guided us away from the big groups wherever possible and gave very thorough explanations of the important sites. Kept a good pace and covered a lot of territory and background information . 10/10.

Absolutely Amazing Experience

Our guide Mario was knowledgeable and engaging the entire time. It’s really an incredible experience and worth every penny. I can’t say enough good things about this tour. I still cannot fathom what I was able to see today. If you’re interested in history, I highly recommend booking this tour- and ask for Mario!

Pompeii Tour & Lunch with Wine Tasting Experience

Kayla_S, Jun 2026

We enjoyed this tour - a...

We enjoyed this tour - a good way to see both Pompeii and enjoy a delicious lunch at a winery. The tour at Pompeii felt a little rushed, it’s hectic there, so if you want to wander or visit the gift shop, this probably isn’t the tour for you. The lunch and wine tasting was amazing - 10/10 recommend.

Pompeii and Amalfi Coast Private Day Trip with Pick Up

Katty_W, Jun 2026

Wonderful time in Pompeii and Ravello

We were picked up at the port in a very clean vehicle. Our driver was so friendly and accommodating. He recommended that we go to Pompeii later in the day to avoid the bigger crowds. We loved visiting Ravello. Claudia our tour guide in Pompeii was so nice and gave us so much interesting information about this amazing site. I would highly recommend this tour and tour company!

Pompeii Private Tour with an Archaeologist and Skip The Line - 3 hours

David_C, May 2026

A great visit to the past

Our guide, Luciana, helped make our day at Pompei one to remember. She was fun, extremely knowledgeable (I asked lots of questions, as a history buff, and she answered them all), and very helpful. She really made the past come alive in interesting and amusing (and even touching) ways. I highly highly recommend a private tour with Eliana's team - while not the cheapest option it's far superior to either doing it on your own or being in a big or even semi-private group. Also Eliana was very helpful in getting us set up, suggesting the best time to go to the site to avoid crowds and day heat (it gets HOT in the summer). 5 stars and would visit the past again with this team.

Private boat tour Positano

This was my absolute favorite experience I’ve ever done. Alfonso was our skipper for our private boat day experience. The boat was immaculate and so spacious for my group of four. Alfonso had champagne and soda and water ice cold for us. He gave us a tour of all neighboring towns and facts and history about each. He also made us reservations for lunch and menu recommendations that were truly amazing. He was so accommodating to any of our needs. I can’t say enough great things about Alfonso, we just loved him!

Pompeii and Herculaneum Small-Group with an Expert Archaeologist

Mark_O, May 2026

Heroic

We had a really great guide in Andreia. He managed to navigate us round both sites avoiding most of the queues and still showed us most of the highlights. He did this with expert knowledge and a wicked sense of humour and brought the day to day Roman existence to life for us. We were lucky with the weather as it wasn’t scorchingly hot but we would still recommend taking sunscreen and plenty of water. There are water fountains in Pompeii but not in Herculaneum, so be prepared. Andreia also went out of his way to book the whole party a table in the restaurant at Pompeii for lunch and even organised a taxi for some of the group who had to go back to Atrani at a much more reasonable price. Andreia would have been a hero in one of Ovid’s epics.

Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Small Group Tour

Marlana_B, May 2026

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.
