I would highly recommend this tour. It was just the right amount of time to see the highlights of Pompeii. Our guide Imma was excellent. She took her time as we walked through the ruins at Pompeii, giving people time to catch up and not rushing the group. She was very knowledgeable and patient with questions, making the experience interesting and informative.
I would suggest that the meeting place should be better defined. The tour rep tried very hard to guide us but we found it very confusing to find.

It's a lot of walking and it's hot. Other than that it was great. Awesome sight to visit. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and moved at a good pace. Was aware of those that needed extra time. She also provided time for photos, but bathroom breaks and water. Overall it was a good experience would use Viator again.

I was unable to find the tour as they don’t advertise Viators anywhere and NONE of the operators knew what I was talking about. NO REFUND EITHER.
BEWARE……………
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Jane,
We are sincerely sorry to hear that you experienced difficulties locating our team, as this is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide.
However, we would like to clarify how our meeting point works to help future travelers:
Strategic Location: Our meeting point is located exactly in front of the cruise terminal exit. It is a mandatory passage for all passengers disembarking from the ships, making it normally very straightforward to spot.
Clear Signage: Our coordinators are always on-site holding highly visible signs that display both the Viator logo and the specific name of the tour.
Constant Support: We always provide multiple ways to reach us instantly in case of emergency or if a guest gets lost, including direct phone numbers, WhatsApp, and email assistance.
Regarding your financial concern, please note that while tour guide fees and transport slots are non-refundable for no-shows, we are absolutely able and willing to refund the cost of your Pompeii admission tickets.
We kindly invite you to contact us directly at info@veditalia.com with your booking details so we can process this partial refund for you as a gesture of goodwill.
Best regards,
Davide

Felicia was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history of ancient Pompeii as well as the current events surrounding ongoing excavations. She answered everyone’s questions and was very thoughtful of the tour guests. For those taking this tour, be prepared to walk and wear sun screen. Taking the Viator provided bus from the cruise terminal was easy and took a lot of anxiety out of trying to find a way to get to the site on your own. Highly recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful time with our guide Felicia. She was very knowledgeable and told interesting and compelling stories about the excavation of the site. Pompei lived up to all my expectations. I was very impressed with the grounds The pick up and drop off were convenient, although the pick up was a little confusing. Maybe explain the snack bar is still inside the port complex. We walked past it along with others on the tour. That was the only hiccup on a great day.

The meeting location for guided tour was a freaking mystery! Asked several local operators and showed out tickets information and told 4 different locations to wait for guide. Looked for sign with name of tour operator, since so many and still no luck! Called the number and placed on hold, then emailed a link where guide was waiting for us, the picture was old, not current, and locals told us a couple places to wait as they tried to help, but didn’t recognize name. Want full refund. FRUSTRATED!
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Travis,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about the frustration and confusion you experienced while trying to locate the meeting point.
We would like to clarify that our tour departed regularly and on schedule for all other participants. However, we completely understand how stressful it can be to miss a scheduled activity due to a misunderstanding of the location, even when our team tried to assist you by sending a visual reference.
Customer satisfaction is very important to us. For this reason, as a gesture of goodwill, we have already processed a full refund for your booking. You should see the credit reflected in your account shortly, depending on your platform or bank processing times.
We apologize for the disappointment, and we hope you will have a better experience during the remainder of your travels.
Best regards,
Davide

We had a great day out. The guide was really great. It was very interesting. For the adults and for the kids in our group. It was longer than it stated, more like 3.5 hours total. But great.
Charise_B, May 2026
The tour itself was great but the instructions on how/where the meeting location was didn't provide enough information which caused us to wander around.

Daniela was a great tour guide. Perfect balance between the amount of information and a free time in Pompeii before going back to Naples.
Clara_N, Apr 2026
The tour guide Francesco is excellent. He is very knowledgeable professional and friendly. He also has a good sense of humor.
However the instruction to the meeting point is very confusing. We were told to get direction from Google Map. Google Map is not updated since 2018 and the street view is completely different. It took us 20 minutes to finally find it.
alfredo_l, Apr 2026
Pompeii is a great place to visit and Francisco our guide is very nice and knows very well everything about this area. Thanks a lot..
Cynthia_F, Apr 2026
Having done this only 6 months ago with another group, I was able to compare and Viator by far exceeded all expectations! Our guide, Francesco, was an archeologist who actually worked on the ruins at Pompeii! He was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining during this tour. You can’t come to this area and not visit Pompeii!
Milly_A, Apr 2026
This was a good experience for our family of four. The time was just enough to enjoy the area and learn so much about this piece of history. They picked us up close to our cruise port and drop off was very close. We were very impressed with out tour guide who did the tour in English. He provided great information and details about Pompeii. He made the experience a 10/10.
Danielle_M, Apr 2026
Francesco our guide was so great! Very knowledgeable and funny we were lucky to have him. Easy excursion from the cruise port. Pompeii exceeded expectations. Would recommend!
Uni_H, May 2026
You walk a lot on uneven ground. But it is fantasticly beautiful and incredibly well preserved. Definitely worth it all. The guide was very local, he knew everything and everyone.
