Pompeii covers a large area and this 2-hour guided tour gives a good insight into significant features.

Our tour guide, Elisa, was amazing! From the moment we walked through the gates she told us what we could see with a very engaging mix of humour and knowledge. She took us to all the best spots and told us many of the stories behind the ruins and had answers to any questions our group had! There was points within the tour where she let us go and wander for 5/10 minutes in places where there was a lot to explore but most of the tour was in our group of 11 which I think was a perfect size after seeing some other tours whilst we were there in huge groups. Thank you for making exploring Pompeii so enjoyable and bringing the history to life!

The tour was great and very informational! The only complaint was the tour was a half hour late which messed up our car service for pickup!

This was great. Our guide spoke great English and we were able to hear her the whole time because of the personal speakers everyone wore. She was extremely knowledgeable and we are so thankful we booked through this tour.
Dorothy_M, Jul 2024
It was advertised as a group of 25 and instead it was a group of about 50. To large to enjoy the ruins. The guide was knowledgable just wish it was a bit smaller.
Clayton_B, Jul 2024
Our tour guide Maria took us back in time to experience the original Pompeii. She brought the ancient town to life and tickled our imaginations as we walked thru the dusty streets.she pointed out the meanings of the tiny details that were hidden in plain site. One of the best tours I have ever taken. I highly recommend this tour… and Maria.

Pros:
- The guide was knowledgeable with enthusiasm.
-Ruins are incredible.
Cons:
-The meeting area was insanely disorganized.
-Overwhelmingly crowded. Literally cattle.
-Rushed.
-The guide could speak English but with a very thick accent which made understanding difficult to hear through a headset in a busy area. I took it off 30 minutes in and just walked around with the group because I spent more time trying to decipher her than enjoy the view.
-We were not taken to the museum with artifacts. You can go but we didn't get a tour there.

Our guide, Michael was wonderful with lots of fun and interesting stories and information. The site is amazing.
Samantha_H, Mar 2024
Our tour guide Erica was fab. Was great to hear so much historic information. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour but we would have liked to of seen the gardens of the fugitives with the plaster cast bodies as that is what pompei is most famous for.
Kate_S, Mar 2024
Definitely a landmark that needs a tour guide! We had Elisa and she was the best tour guide that we had throughout our Dubai/Europe/UK trip. Very funny, charismatic, knowledgeable and made the whole 3+ hour tour entertaining.
Scott_C, Nov 2023
The guide was exception. Her knowledge and her ability to impart that knowledge made for a very enjoyable and interesting day.
Joy_M, Sep 2023
There was chaos beforehand. We waited about 45 minutes for the tour to get started.
The tour guide was good.
HAROLD_H, Sep 2023
Learning about the way people lived, their dwellings and business as well as how the tragedy unfolded.
Kendall_F, Sep 2023
Our tour guide Maria was very good. She was funny yet informative and interacted with the entire group. The only downsides were that there was a mix-up with what group we should be in. We got there at the scheduled time, but there was a huge delay actually getting into Pompeii. We also had a pretty large group. If you have the extra money to spend on a more private tour, I would recommend that. Otherwise, this is a great value for the price and allows you to see the most important aspects of Pompeii.
Paige_C, Jun 2023
Great tour and tour guide! We loved every thing about this tour from start to finish. We enjoyed the pace of the tour and how knowledgeable our tour guide was.
Patricia_N, May 2023

Our tour guide did a great job of keeping everyone together and entertained in the midst of the heat and crowds. A lot of info packed into 2 hours- perfect!
waifai_k, May 2022
Funny and friendly tour guide. Abit rush but it’s alright given a big area to cover in just two hours.
Stacy_S, Mar 2022
Our guide Ellisa was fabulous. She was knowledgeable, kind, and funny. This was an excellent way to be introduced to Pompeii. The ruins came to life. Highly recommend.
Miguel_G, Jan 2022
I would have rated 5 stars EXCEPT that the guide was criticizing the Catholic Church every two sentences "Everything in the old world and in the new world was to blame on this religion" . I am not an exceptional believer but it is a lack of respect to many visitors of any religion. Very shameful situation.
Alejandro_C, Nov 2021
The Pompeii tour was awesome as was our tour guide. She was very helpful and friendly. I would have loved to spend more time there.
Kris_H, Oct 2021
Francesca was our guide and she did a great job! She has a sly sense of humor and made the tour really fun. She did a great job of pointing out obscure facts and bringing Pompeii to life.
Heidi_P, Jul 2021
Our guide, Maria, did a great job showing us the most important and interesting things about Pompeii. She was very engaging and entertaining and answered all of our questions. Joining the group and finding where the tour started was a bit confusing but once we found our guide we were good to go! Definitely bring a hat, water, and lightweight clothing if you go in summer. There is very little shade!
