Perfect tour with kids

Sam_P, Apr 2026

Claire kept everyone engaged the whole time and we learned so much. She is very sweet as well. Perfect length tour since Pompeii is huge. If you want to explore more, you can go on your own after the tour.

Cannot imagine visiting Pompeii without this tour

Yasmine_F, Apr 2025

This was by far the best tour we have ever taken. Our archeologist guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history to vibrant life for kids and adults. I could not recommend more highly.

Fantastic for families

Rebecca_C, Apr 2024

We had a wonderful experience with our guide who was easy to talk to, easy to find, and so flexible given we had gotten on the wrong train and arrived late from Naples. She kept things entertaining and explain the science of the volcano as well as the history of, not the archaeological site but of the town. I would highly recommend this tour if you have young children and our guide.

Lelo was the most knowledgeable tour guide! He made us feel like family and his passion for Pompei really shines through his tours. He was great with our kids and answered lots of questions!
