An incredible experience, I highly recommend immersing yourself into Pompeii. Our tour guide, Sasa, knew everything there is to know about the history of the city! We booked a 2.5 hour tour and my regret is that it wasn’t longer. There is so much to see and learn. Sasa made the most of the time we had. This tour is a must!

Our tour with Sasa was great. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about Pompeii. He was funny and polite, a great host. The tour itself well organised and smooth from pick up to drop off. I would recommend this tour.

Fabulous tour of Pompei led by Frankie - a great guide!

Michael_S, May 2026
Pompei is an amazing experience - so well preserved by the volcanic ash and rocks some of the artwork is still amazing. A truly huge site the experience does require a knowledgeable guide. Frankie who led our small group was hugely knowledgeable but enhanced that by delivering his insights with great warmth and humour. He had an anecdote or nugget of information for every aspect of the visit. He made the experience fascinating and entertaining- if you plan to visit see if you can have him as your guide. You won’t regret it!

Best tour on Pompeii!

Lauren_C, May 2026

Sasa was excellent

Loree_N, May 2026
Sasa, our guide, was excellent and made this tour a lot of fun. He gave a very clear picture of what living in Pompei was like. Highly recommend.

Great tour, but felt rushed

Julia_L, Apr 2026
We enjoyed our tour of Pompeii. The company sent a van to pick us up in Positano and then drove us to Pompeii. There were only nine people on our tour so we were able to hear our guide clearly and could ask questions as needed. We were given a few minutes here and there to take photos but kept a brisk pace throughout the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. However, we were only given a few minutes in the museum portion of the site and no time in the bookstore. My husband and I are both educators and would like to have gotten some books to bring back for our classrooms. This was our first trip to Pompeii. I do recommend this tour, but be aware that it’s packed full and little time is given to explore on your own.

Sasa is an amazing tour...

Bailey_S, Oct 2025
Sasa is an amazing tour guide. He made the ruins come alive, kept our attention, taught us and gave us time for photos. The transfer was easy. They communicated pick up through whatsapp.

Well worth it!

Amanda_G, Oct 2025
Frankie was an awesome tour guide, very informative and entertaining. You can tell he loves what he does. It’s incredible how well preserved it is considering the devastation. Full artwork detail was amazing.

Excellent Rainy Day in Pompeii

Janet_E, Oct 2025
It was a rainy day but our tour guide, Frankie, did an excellent job. He knew where to go when the rain came and where to go in the dry periods with ease. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Transportation back to the hotel was perfect - less than an hour drive. However, the gentleman on pickup came 30 minutes early with no notice other than a What’s Ap at 10:30 and I was not near my phone. When the hotel called and said he was there, we had to run to catch him to prevent him from leaving us. Because he had to pick up 2 other couples at separate hotels in Sorrento, the trip took 1 hour and 40 minutes. It was a bad start but Frankie and the return driver were excellent.

Great tour! Kind of short

Erica_B, Sep 2025
Great experience with pick up and drop off! This tour was kind of short only being 2 hours. We got a lot in but also felt like we went all the way there for not a lot of time in Pompeii. Also really wished we would’ve had the radios with headphones for this tour. It was hard for our guide to talk to the whole group as we are walking.

Frankie was our tour...

Brandon_C, Sep 2025
Frankie was our tour guide and did a fantastic job with retelling the history of the eruption while waiting in line and the two hours once inside Pompeii. We also got a couple goodies at the end. Our driver did a great job as well.

Small group tour of Pompeii

Nandita_V, Aug 2025
Our guide, Frankie, was very knowledgeable and friendly. His deep experience guiding tourists through the Pompeii complex was very evident as he was able to navigate our small group through the area avoiding the peak rush. He also made sure to avoid the blazing sun and found cool, shaded spots to stop and explain things and point out interesting aspects. Our drivers to and from the complex were great too. The company was very accommodatingwhen we asked to be dropped off at a particular spot in naples(different than our pickup spot)

A greater appreciation of Pompeii

Lilliana_S, Jul 2025
Our guided tour of Pompeii with Salvatore – or Sasa, as he introduced himself – was exceptional. His deep knowledge of Pompeii’s history brought the ancient ruins to life, providing rich context and fascinating details at every turn. Sasa made sure we didn’t miss any of the key highlights, navigating the vast site efficiently while still allowing time to take in each location. His storytelling made the experience engaging and educational. Polite, well-mannered, and clearly passionate about his work, Sasa was an outstanding guide. We left with a much deeper appreciation for Pompeii thanks to his insight and expertise.

Don’t miss out!

Lynne_B, Jul 2025
Wonderful experience, amazing site, great staff and tour guide (Angelo). Highly recommend. There is a lot of walking, and it was very hot, but totally worth every penny. Bring your sunscreen and hat and be amazed at the history!

Day in Pompeii

Rick_N, Jun 2025
What a wonderful experience to travel back in time and see a city preserved under the volcano eruption. Frankie was a great tour guide and would recommend the tour to all that visit.

Our tour guide, Frankie...

kathleen_f, Jun 2025

Perfect!

This was a perfect tour. We hit all the import spots. Francesca was beautiful and knowledgeable. Definitely wear comfortable shoes and bring a bottle of water.

Gives an excellent...

Shirleen_S, Jun 2025
Gives an excellent glimpse of what really happened at Pompeii. Our guide Sasa was knowledgeble, humerous and awesome!

Would definitely...

Justin_D, Jun 2025
Would definitely recommend this. This tour was nice and pickup was very close to the hotel. Keep in mind most hotels in Positano cannot be reached by car so I reached out to the operator a few days ahead and asked about the pick up location and it was as close to the hotel as one could get on the road. We were picked up shortly before 8am and drove to Pompei along with 6 other guests. Once at Pompei we were introduced to our tour guide and skipped the line and entered right into the the archeological site. Our guide did a good job pointing out important sights and explaining the significance and history behind not just the eruption but also the city and its origins and importance. I was really interested in seeing the casts of the bodies that were found and our guide made sure to include those on our tour as well. We got back to the hotel around 1pm. I would definitely recommend this if you've wanted to see Pompeii!

Very informative tour

Emily_L, Jun 2025
Really great tour of Pompeii. Informative and inclusive. Our guide, Sasa, brought humor and knowledge, and allowed time for pictures and questions. He also had great awareness of the other groups to make sure it was a positive experience and we could fully experience all of the sites. He was the best tour guide of our trip.

Amazing Tour with Sasa!!!

Bryan_G, Jun 2025
This was a great experience with Sasa! We learned so much and shared quite a few laughs during our time. Sasa did a great job keeping everyone form our small group engaged. Grazie Mille Sasa!

Perfect brief tour of Pompeii

Isabella_S, Jun 2025
This was a great experience. Only a couple hours long so it’s not your info overload but you still feel like you have a good understanding of Pompeii. Sasha was our guide and he was wonderful!

Excellent experience....

Vivica_A, May 2025
Excellent experience. Guide was charismatic and overall great company. Made experience great. Would recommend.

Sasa was a highlight. Plan for longer day than advertised.

Chris_S, May 2025
Sasa was a great tour guide and really elevated the experience in Pompeii. He provided historical context to Pompeii that really made you feel like you understood what life was like for the citizens of Pompeii in the first century. Guests do need to understand though that this trip from Positano (start to finish) could very well be 7 hours long due to traffic and multiple drop off locations in the private car. We were expecting a much shorter trip.

Wonderful day trip from...

WesleyJ, Apr 2025
Wonderful day trip from Positano to Pompeii. Our guide, Sasa, was extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about the history of the ancient city.

Fantastic Tour Operator

Joshua_S, Oct 2024
Fantastic tour! The whole team made us feel welcome right from the start. We were pick up right on time by Emanuele and headed out into Pompei with a friendly and knowledgeable guide, Frankie. Frankie took his time without small group to engage with everyone and answered all of our questions in a way that made it clear he knows his history of the region. One thing to note, we also used Emanuele and his team for a transfer from Positano to Naples to get to the airport and train. This is the way to go. One you book a tour with Emanuele and team just use them for all your tour and transport needs. We’re looking forward to coming back and touring with them again.
