Very well organized. Our driver was careful and our guide Angelo was excellent. He was telling us many stories, showed many hidden places and it was interesting to hear about Vesuvius og history about how eruption happened and what kind of city Pompeii was. Very satisfied with tour and guide.

Sasa was sn amazing tour guide in Pompeii. He was considerate of our comfort and gave extensive knowledge of the ancient city. He allowed rest room breaks and chatted easily with the people. Overall, an incredible site to visit with a very awesome guide.

Perfect day, incredible experience, moving, inspirational.

Do not miss this. If you go in summer the lines could be ages in the heat if you don't skip the line plus the guides are excellent. Sasa was fab! We were so lucky to be Able to see the reconstructed villa. The city is easy to imagine as a vibrant port and teenagers and preteens should really get a lot from it. April was a great time to go!

We had Angelo as our tour guide and he was fantastic! Super knowledgeably about all aspects of Pompeii and knew every question asked of him. He’s also a volcanologist which was a wonderful plus. We were lucky to have him!

Our Pompeii guided tour from Naples turned out to be an unexpectedly special experience. We booked the late afternoon option, which ended up being far less crowded than earlier time slots—something we’d highly recommend. Due to a few last-minute cancellations, my wife and I ended up having the entire tour to ourselves. We were initially worried the tour might be cancelled altogether, but thankfully it went ahead, and it felt like a private tour through history. Our guide, Frankie, was outstanding. His knowledge of Pompeii was incredibly deep, and he communicated everything clearly in excellent English. He answered all of our questions with patience and insight, adding context and stories that really brought the ruins to life. Exploring Pompeii in a quieter setting, with such a passionate and engaging guide, made the experience feel personal and immersive. It’s something we’ll remember for a long time. Highly recommended!

Angelo Knows!!

Deven_B, Apr 2026
My small group (my family plus 4 others) learned so much from Angelo! How lucky are we that he is a Volcanologist. He stuck to the facts and left out the myths. This is just what I wanted for my children. They learned more from Angelo than they will in school when they study Pompeii. One important tip to anyone who books this experience: bring protective eyewear!!

MUST-DO tour with Frankie!

Stephanie_K, Apr 2026
Frankie was 10/10, the best tour guide I've ever had. Informative, relatable, and took us through the history of Pompei to make us feel the 2000 years alive again! Seeing Pompei in person nearly brought me to tears, you can really feel 79AD just halted in time. Incredible tour and Frankie is the BEST!

Pompei Tour was Excellent!

Judy_P, Mar 2026
Our guide Frankie was fabulous. Very informative, great insights into how the people lived in Pompei and he showed us a wide variety of structures. He added levity to his presentation which kept us interested and smiling. Pompei is a must stop in Italy and “Follow Frankie” as he would say throughout our journey made it extra special.

Frankie was an amazing guide! He was so knowledgeable and kept the pace of the tour perfect. Highly recommend this tour with him.

Very interesting tour with a qualified guide

Johanna_G, Mar 2026
During this tour our guide, Frankie, told us about the history of Pompei, the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 (and other eruptions), and the consequences. Frankie also explained the daily lifes of Pompei’s inhabitants, hierarchies, enginering of the Romans, gossips and other funny aspects of the community. He answered all the questions the group members asked, he was patient and agreable and guided us through the site with a perfect rythm. Frankie is an extremely qualified guide and his English is remarkably good. The transfer was confortable. I had understood that a bottle of water was included, so I didn’t bring any, but we didn’t get any water.

Must see Pompei

Declan_M, Mar 2026
What an amazing experience. Our guide Frankie look us back 2000 years plus to set the scene on how life was lived all those centuries ago. His explanations allowed us to imagine the daily life and experiences of the residents of Pompei. The architecture and engineering is something to behold. Everyone should do this visit at least once. Thank you Frankie.

Sasa is the best!

Donna_M, Mar 2026
We had a blast! Sasha was our tour guide and he was absolutely hilarious and made the small tour (only 10 people) 100% worth it. He delivers the history of Pompeii with a deep knowledge and respect for the people who lived there and the legacy they left. We had so much fun and learned a lot!

Very cool location and great tour guide

P_K, Feb 2026
Frankie our tour guide was so nice and knowledgeable. The entire experience was curated beautifully, pick up and drop off was very smooth, comfortable, and the actual location is incredible. When you put everything together? I would highly recommend this tour again and again. I was based in Rome, I took the inter-city train for two hours, made a day of it, and I thought it was well worth the adventure.

Excellent tour guide who was very informative and there was efficient transport to and from the location.

Pompei - Wow!

Andrew_G, Feb 2026
Our visit and tour was simply amazing, and far exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Sasa, was one of the best we've ever had. He shared so much fascinating and new information, was funny and entertaining, and also gave us time to spend alone and marvel at the sights. Pompei can be overwhelming, but he found the right balance and pace to create the optimal experience. Simply wonderful!

Quality Tour

Informative and convenient tour of pompei

Sridhar_R, Jan 2026
Excellent guided tour of pompeii. Pickup was conveniently located near the main train station. Our guide Sasa was informative and entertaining. He took care of us and made sure that all our questions were answered and did not rush us. We appreciated that he was mindful of elderly people on our group. We go to see all the important sights and were dropped back at the train station. The whole tour took around 3 hours

Great tour!

Todd_S, Dec 2025
Sasa was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and a good story teller. We had a great time! One of our favorite tours in Italy.
