      Highly recommended

      Chad_D, May 2026
      Extremely informative. No ticket lines . Visited the entire area. No waiting on others since it's a private group for very little cost more. Well worth it

      Good tour with some recommendations for improvement

      PATRICIA_W, Apr 2026
      The tour covered everything as expected and we really appreciated seeing Pompeii. Our guide was knowledgeable and we liked him. However, the pace was too fast for my friend who had trouble keeping up. We could have skipped some of the areas because it was clearly taxing on my friend. Water was promised in the description and was not provided. Minor detail - the car was not as expected in terms of quality or cleanliness

      Nino was very...

      dennis_s, Dec 2025
      Nino was very accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the time with him and the amazing Pompei

      Excellent Private Tour of Pompeii

      Darrel_M, Nov 2025
      Communication prior to the tour was excellent and accurate. Carmen picked us up just outside the cruise terminal, and we walked a short distance to her car before heading to Pompeii. Carmen lives in Pompeii and studied archeology in Naples. As a student, she actually worked on a dig in Pompeii! What a fantastic opportunity we had to walk through Pompeii with a true professional! Carmen maneuvered through the city traffic (which was considerable) and dropped us off in the city center (at our request) so that we could enjoy a pizza and a short walk to the cruise terminal.

      Amazing

      Mark_W, Nov 2025
      Nino was an absolute amazing guide. He picked us up on time. He was in contact via WhatsApp prior to departure and sent a video of his location ahead of time. We travelled on a private tour to Pompeii with 4 of us. Car was mid size for the 4 if us. Would recommend him to anyone

      Private Tour of Pompeii with Archeologist

      Susan_L, Sep 2025
      The Pompeii tour with Nino was awesome! He went above and beyond to accommodate our group of 4. I highly recommend his tour.

      Nino rocks!

      Rosemary_N, Jun 2025
      We booked a private Pompeii tour for the 3 of us. . Our guide, Nino, was so professional + had a wealth of knowledge about the site. Because we were a small group, all the tickets were already printed out + we skipped all the crazy lines. This tour was wonderful + intimate. I would give this tour 5 stars!!

      Good day

      Ronald_M, Apr 2025
      Quite a nice day. Nino was a good guide. Very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. So fortunate that he encouraged us to start early to avoid the holiday crowds. The sites were magnificent and many made you appreciate the unfortunate condition that fell upon these poor souls. A number of the structures were in very good shape, a testament to the engineering of the period.

      Unforgettable memories

      Bjoern_G, Feb 2025
      Perfect if you want everything organised and to get a good overview of Pompeii. Our guide Nino was very friendly and helpful and could answer any questions about the history of Pompeii, the region and Naples!

      Really enjoyable tour

      Lucas_T, Dec 2024
      The tour was really convenient and hassle free. Nino was a really good guide! He is well versed with the history of Pompeii and the surrounding area of Naples. He is very friendly and was able to give us a lot of context to understand the history of the place. The pace of the tour was good. He was very clear in terms of communication, both before the tour and during the tour. He even gave us some recommendations on places to visit after the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to experience Pompeii.

      Great tour and guide!

      Tom_J, Oct 2024
      Nino was an excellent guide. He took us around Pompeii showing us the important sites including the House of the Vettii, House of the Faun, the forum, the bakery, the theatre, the gymnasium and small museum and the amphitheatre plus other areas of interest. He spoke English well and even walked back to car to bring it to us after we finished (so we didn't have to walk all the way back). Nice tour and would highly recommend. Thanks Nino!

      Accident

      Martin_M, Jun 2024
      We wanted to let you know we were involved in an accident yesterday. We were rear ended on the road. We stopped for several minutes. The driver did not seem to be concerned. The tour was great but we had a hard time understanding his English. Thank you

      Response from Host, Jun 2024

      "We wanted to let you know..." Funny!! I know very well what happened, I was with you ))) Ungenerous, untruthful, and disrespectful review towards me. My car was hit by another car, so I am not to blame. I was not worried because nothing serious happened, the car was not damaged, it was a light collision. We were stopped for few seconds, just enough time to check that there was no damage; why write several minutes? Why should I be worried? And what do you mean that the tour was great but you did not understand my English? Maybe because you were only interested in taking pictures and writing on your smartphone? It does not seem to me that you were interested in Roman history....I tried to explain in detail the history of Pompeii, but your eyes (especially Martin and Tiffany) were elsewhere....It is more correct to say, as you told me at meeing point, that Pompeii was just "a brand" for you, you did not even know that Pompeii was an archaeological site. historical tours are probably not for you. Grazie Nino Pezzullo

      Wonderful tour with Nino!

      Cheri_L, May 2024
      We had a great tour with Nino! Nino picked us up from the cruise port which was really helpful! He took us to the major sites of Pompeii at a comfortable pace. He is very knowledgable about the history of Pompeii and Naples. We were captivated by his story telling. Afterwards, he took us back to Naples and arranged for us to have pizzas at a famous pizzeria in Naples, the birthplace of pizza! We have a wonderful visit with Nino!

      Wonderful

      laura_g, May 2024
      Nino was excellent!! He responded to my questions before our tour in a very timely manner. He was very clear about exactly when and where to meet him. He is very knowledgeable and funny too. He accessed our group’s capabilities and adjusted to them. We loved him and the tour. We would take any tour with Nino.

      The best way to tour Pompeii

      Mary_C, May 2024
      Personal tour with just 4 of us so we weren’t dealing with lots of people. We could ask questions, spend more time on some areas and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
