Our guide was amazing and had so much knowledge and insight we wouldn’t
Have gotten if we had a pre recorded tour. Also I am certain we would have been lost most of the time and she took us to spots we only would have seen from someone who has been there before with extensive knowledge of the grounds. It was a perfect day.

Pompeii was an incredible experience with a very knowledgable guide. Mario took us to the bath houses, theater, bakeries and homes and explained the culture of Romans in 79AD. Pompeii is a must see.

Francesca was an excellent guide. Very pleasant & knowledgeable. I now know far more about Pompeii & the Romans.

Carla was fantastic! She was so knowledgeable and spoke very good English. We had a great time with her learning about the history of Pompei. I would totally recommend this tour!

Luigi was OUTSTANDING!! He was so knowledgeable and shared amazing stories of how life once was there. With his expertise, we moved through the ruins with ease skipping the dreaded lines. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

It was so important to have an informed guide like Mariana to point out details and explain things which normally one would not notice or know. Touring the ruins is an amazing experience and a must to fully grasp an understanding of what life was like for a civilization going back to B.C. Mariana was so nice and professional - highly recommend this tour.

IMMA was an amazing guide in Pompeii.
We did a 2.5 tour around the highlights around the site. Her English was very good and her knowledge exceptional.
I would recommend her highly.
Response from Host, Sep 2020
We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your Pompeii tour and that you had a good time with Imma.
Pompeii is so immense, it really does help to have a guide to make sure you see the best and most important highlights and share with you what life might have been like when this city was inhabited all those years ago. Imma is a great guide and she'll be thrilled to know how much you enjoyed the tour.
Thank you for your enthusiastic review.

Maria was early to meet us and talked knowledgeably and exuberantly about Pompeii for two and a half hours. The small group was an excellent idea and the small group was only 2 people - us, as it was a Saturday in the high season and Pompeii was exceptionally crowded. She was very considerate too, it was incredibly hot we were warned - and she did check that we had water and hats, but every opportunity to stand in the shade she gave us. She also answered any questions knowledgably.

Francesca was knowledgeable, friendly and gave us fantastic tour with a digestible account of what we were seeing. Definitely worth the trip from Rome!

Tour was amazing!! Franchescka did an awesome job!!

This tour was great!!! Our guide was very knowledgable and very friendly. We had a great time. I would suggest this tour to anyone going to pompeii, it's just long enough to get you a lot of information without being too long where you start to lose interest. And I think going to pompeii without a tour would be a mistake.
