Claudia, Giovanni and Younes took us on a wonderful tour of Pompeii. Well organized trip and a wonderful guide who gave us the historical insight to Pompeii. Gratzie mille de Chicago
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Pompeii Experience!
We had an absolutely amazing experience and could not have asked for a better team. A huge thank you to Nina, Daniele, and Mariagrazia for making our visit to Pompeii such a memorable part of our trip to Italy.
Nina was our guide during the drive and was fantastic from the very beginning. She was friendly, welcoming, and made the journey enjoyable and comfortable. She gave us great information along the way and made sure everything was organized and running smoothly.
Daniele was our driver and did an excellent job. He was professional, punctual, and most importantly, we felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire drive.
Mariagrazia was our private guide for our two hour walking tour through Pompeii, and she was incredible. Her knowledge of Pompeii and its history really brought the ancient city to life for us. She explained everything in a way that was interesting and easy to understand, answered all of our questions, and made sure we were able to see and appreciate the most important parts of Pompeii during our time there.
Thank you again Nina, Daniele, and Mariagrazia for taking such great care of us and giving us an experience we will always remember.
We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Naples or Pompeii. Five stars all around! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have been to Pompeii many times and have done the tour at the site. However, going with Viator‘s tour guide, Tomaso, was absolutely fantastic
The tour was fantastic. Our tour guide, Marco was so knowledgeable. Pompeii itself is just amazing. A couple of watchouts: it is all walking often over cobblestones and larger stones, climbing up and down curbs, quite a few stairs. I have bad knees and ankles and it was doable (using my son’s shoulder for balance going down steep steps) but exhausting. The tour gives you a bottle of water, but you may want to bring more particularly if it’s hot. No bathrooms except at the entrance, so keep that in mind as well. Finally, when booking, I was offered a selection of multiple pick up spots in the city. I picked the archeological museum. However, the day before the trip, they confirmed Hotel StarTerminus as their ONLY pickup location. That impacted my entire itinerary and resulted in 2 additional taxi rides I hadn’t planned on. So StarTerminus is the only meeting point, no matter what you might see on Viator.
But overall a great experience!
The bus driver and guide on the bus were organized and on time. The guide during the tour of Pompeii, Tomaso, was excellent. This our is well worth the time and money spent. I highly recommend it
Our tour guide from the park was very knowledgeable. She took us to all the main sites and explained everything we were seeing very well. Well worth the time and money.
Communication was good pror to the trip, we met up with our guide at the cruise terminal (althought it was difficult to find her as she wasnt holding up a sign or anything!) The bus to and from Pompei was pretty old and beat up, chairs with brokn recliners that wouldnt sit upright, poor air con. The tour itself was good and the guide was very knowledgable and helpful. Beofer and fater the tour we were given 10 minutes to go to the toliet / have a drink / snack, but realistically you could only go to the toliet - and with the huge crowds that even took longer than 10 minutes. Overall good, but the bus really could have been much better.
Great tour. Our guide met us promptly at the agreed pickup point and sent a WhatsApp to confirm which was very helpful. The guide at Pompeii was knowledgeable and we had a great tour
Give it at least 12000 steps minimum. heat was horrible .guide was cheerful kept you going!
It was amazing it was Hugh. Blast into the past.
Amazing trip , really well ran. Friendly knowledgeable guides. Would definitely recommend. To anyone thinking of going
Pompeii itself was great and Alesso was a great guide. However, like so many other tours, it is such a pity that the bus cannot be organised on time to take you back afterwards and you end up waiting around and getting frustrated.
Booked for pick up from cruise ship but instructions not clear said pick up was at ships security gate - which was dock but in fact the meeting place was in front of the port buildings and the bus further up in a bus park! We met the rep at 10:30 then up to the bus then drove to another ship to pick up passengers then back to our dock and finally left at 11:10! Then to the station to pick up two more passengers- and traffic was very busy - our guide at Pompeii was excellent but it felt a little rushed. Hope Viator encourage clearer instructions for future users
Pompeii guided tour. Prompt pick up, good introduction on the bus. Great tour guide, very interesting, informative, and fun, loved it. My only gripe is the confusion re times and pick up from viator.
Very reliable cruise port pick up from the port at Naples. The communications leading to the trip via the app, were very good and reassuring. The transfer was in a modern minibus with AC and USB connections. Staff were friendly and helpful. On arrival at Pompeii our tickets were included and we were handed over to an English speaking Italian tour guide who was also an archeologist. The tour was thorough, informative and interesting. The tour lasted around 2.5 hours and there was some free time to wander too. We were then transported back to the cruise port. We will definitely use this company again as they were reasonably priced and reliable. We also heard good recommendations from other cruise passengers who had used the company in other destinations.
Thomos is the best tour guide there is ! Amazing experience for any one interested in Italy history or world history for that matter!
The site is much larger than expected. Wear good walking or hiking footwear, no sandals. Bring water and snacks if you plan to stay for the day.
Very enjoyable tour of the highlights of Pompeii. We did not want to do a six hour tour. The timing was perfect. A very nice bus and a good guide. The only negative was that the bus and organizer were one hour late picking us up and did not communicate and let us know that that was happening. We stood around for one hour, not knowing if we would make it back to the ship. I would recommend a different tour.
Alessandra and Tomaso were great team. Tomaso has great knowledge about Pompei and is willing to answer all questions. Truly recommend.
Pompeii has to be seen but on a very hot day be careful. Take a lot of water are be prepared for a strenuous walk up and down hill. This is not suitable for anyone who has difficulty walking.
Excellent guide, only 8 people on the tour. Guide shared lots of insights about how the people of Pompeii lived, relating it to the ruins.
Pompeii was fantastic to see! However, our pick up was over an hour late. Messaged the company through Viator but never received any response. Finally got a hotel to call them when they were about 20 minutes late and they said they were running late. Bus was nice and comfortable to Pompeii. The tour guide at the site went too fast, didn’t seem concerned with keeping her group together and people were getting left behind. Audio earphones are awkward and were hard to keep on. Glad I got to see Pompeii but there must be a better experience than the one we had. It’s too bad.
Guide was very good , good information, very friendly. Group was not big. Guide made it very fun for everybody. Would definitely recommend it anybody
There is quite a bit of difficult walking on uneven rocks. Be mindful of that if walking is a problem. Our guide ,Teresa was vert knowledgeable. Nadia wasgood butshe didn't communicate with us till last minute. There was some confusion with the pick up point. It was a little frustrating.
Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Liked that it was a small group. Only 6 people, the tour pace was perfect.
Rep dealing with us was not friendly and did not appear to have much interest in dealing with us. Our tour guide in Pompeii was excellent, helpful, attentive and was caring for all the group
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your review! We are so pleased to hear that your tour guide in Pompeii was excellent, attentive, and took such wonderful care of the whole group. We will certainly pass along your kind words to highlight their great work!
At the same time, we are very sorry to hear that your experience with our representative fell short of the welcoming and friendly service we aim to provide. Every guest deserves to feel valued from the moment they meet us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we can address it internally with our team.
Thank you again for choosing Worldtours Italy. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future!
Was easily able to find my tour guide Flora right outside the cruise terminal. The drive to and from was short and Costa was an excellent tour guide at Pompeii. 10/10
The host who rode the bus with us to Pompeii was sweet to wait for us when we were given wrong info on which bus to be on. The bus ride alright with a/c on the lighter side. The itinerary said water would be provided. We weren't given water, but there was a place to purchase water. We only had time to get water or use the restroom. Pompeii was hot!! The tour guide Andrea was amazing! He shared his umbrella when my companion and I were over heated, hh was entertaining and very informative about the history of Pompeii and what happened there. Had great expression and enthusiasm!
Totally recommend this tour! The guides, Tomaso and Nadia, were very nice and knowledgeable, and the driver, Giovanni, was very professional. The area is just breathtaking. A wonderful experience
This was a great trip:tour.
Hugely knowledgeable guide and a good tour of Pompeii itself for c. 2 hours. You could spend 4 days at the excavation so can’t expect to see everything, but lots of detail packed in.
Pompeii is on a hill so this is physically demanding, especially in Summer heat. Obviously triads and paths are very uneven.
God driver and coach transfer.
I was under the impression that this was a private tour for 6 people. It was not. We travelled with about 30 people in a bus. It worked out fine but this was not clear to me when I booked the tour.
The person who met us at the meeting point arrived late and seemed very unconcerned about being there at the time she said we should meet once at the Pompei site. The group was on time…she was not.
Our actual tour guide was excellent and made the Pompei experience very worthwhile.
