This is a great tour and cover the highlights, perfect for kids. So much to see and learn. We had Jennaro as our guide and I highly recommend him.

Informative, Fun, and Friendly

Manik_M, Jul 2025

Gennaro was a very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly guide; with clear insights into Pompeii’s history as he was able to answer all of my and my partner’s questions promptly and in detail. Would take the time to come back to explore more of Pompeii with Gennaro any day.

If I could give 10 stars I would

Jared_R, Jul 2025

This was the best tour I’ve ever done. Gennaro went ABOVE and BEYOND! We were running late because another tour went long. Gennaro was in constant communication with us via WhatsApp, met us exactly where our other tour ended, and got us into Pompeii before the final entrance at 5:30pm. The tour itself was both informative and genuinely entertaining. Gennaro doesn’t just recite facts and show sites - he knows how to read the group and make everyone feel engaged and comfortable. He customizes the experience based on your interests and level of understanding. Want to see a specific site? He’ll take you. Want to snap a bunch of photos? He’s happy to help. He’s also incredibly kind and respectful, not just to his guests, but to everyone he interacts with, from locals to fellow visitors. Ours was a private tour (I’m not sure if they all are). But you can’t get a better price for a private tour (believe me I tried.) The value was even better- unbeatable! Worth every cent and then some.

Great Family excursion

Excellent family friendly way to see quickly see the highlights of Pompeii. No lines. Plan to take the train home…lack of taxis.

Me and my friend had a private tour and although we had only about two hours, Giada made the most of it and gave us a curated experience filled with memorable information and nice photo opportunities. Also the crowds were mostly vanished at that point and the temperature was great. Overall; a definite recommend.

Tour guide Luigi is awesome

Khairul_A, Sep 2024

We had an awesome experience with Luigi! He arrived on time and brought us to all the best location.

Highlight of our trip!

Jami_A, Jul 2024

I would give this experience more stars if I could! My son really wanted to do this, as for the rest of us, it was not apart of our bucket list item. However, all four of us left with a wonderful experience! It was a highlight of our trip! And our guide, Hugo, was the very best! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating! We have been talking about what we learned ever since and even looking up more information. If you are thinking about doing it without a guide you may not find your experience as worthwhile. Hugo told us things we would have never known! Big thank you to him! I also highly recommend going late in the evening, 5pm-7pm was perfect! We had Pompei to ourselves and it was the most magical time!

Pompei is a must.

Fred_D, Jun 2024

Pompei is remarkable place and a must visit of any Italian vacation. Our guide Luigi, made the tour memorable, his knowledge and insight transported us 2000+ years back in time to fully appreciate the experience.

Loved the Late Afternoon Tour

Thomas_G, Aug 2023

Loved the late afternoon/sunset. Gennaro was a great guide! Perfect amount of detail and overview. Kept it entertaining and educational for our entire family.

Memorable enjoyable experience

Marijo_G, Aug 2023

Gennaro was a wonderful guide. We were a family group with seniors, adults and children. The information about Pompei and it's people was provided in a manner that was very relatable. We toured at 5pm. There would have been no shade earlier in the day so we avoided crowds and high temperatures. Best time to see the ruins.

Descubriendo Pompeya

CRESCENCIO_V, Jul 2023

Excelente tour, muy Agusto la tarde, pero Pompeya es más grande de lo esperado. Hizo Falta tiempo para ver con más detalle dentro de las casas. Cierran las entradas a las 6. Estuvo bien terminar en el nuevo pueblo de Pompeya, para ir por un café y un postre.
