Wonderful - Francesca was a wonderful guide. She was very informative as well, energetic and fun. We really enjoyed the newly restored house. It gave us a real sense of how people lived during that time.
We highly recommend!!

Best tour of Pompeii!!! - Sasa is an amazing tour guide! He is of Pompeian ancestry and goes above and beyond to teach the true history and purpose of the relics (he has multiple degrees in history and his family has done this for three generations.) His English is great and he addressed our individual interests personally. He is friendly, engaging, and funny. We highly recommend booking this tour. We learned so much more than most people who visited! Pompeii is a must-see spot. If I return I will definitely book another tour with him. He did not put pressure but remember to tip any tour guide in Italy because that is customary in their culture.

Amazing, scenic day of history and adventure - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and our Pompeii guide was a huge reason why. She was an archaeologist and art historian and it was very obvious she was passionate about sharing the stories of Pompeii. Even the kids were interested! 😂
Mt Vesuvius was so beautiful. We hiked it alone, it was fairly short but very steep. Loose gravel makes it easy to slip so wear good shoes but totally worth it!

Great guide - Frankie was a great guide and very informative. We visited all the main sights and having an early start meant we missed the crowds. We would have liked a bit longer to take in the amphitheatre

Excellent guide at Pompei by Sasa but tour is very overpriced - The tour guide at Pompei, Sasa, was excellent while the driver tried his best to keep us a good company since we were alone in the van. But overall the tour is overpriced.

Small Group from Sorrento - Francesca, our guide, was fantastic. She was knowledgeable and passionate about all things Pompeii. Our driver from Sorrento was also engaging and accommodating. We only wished we could have done Vesuvius which was cancelled due to weather related issues.

Great experience - Pompeii was absolutely beautiful. There was so much to see and our guide had a ton of information to share! She was full of knowledge. The taxi picked us right up at our hotel. Communication was easy. I fortunately, the second half was cancelled. We wished we were not as rushed considering the second half of our tour was cancelled but overall it was a pleasant experience with a positive guide.

It was fine - Transportation was great, our guide of Pompeii was average. Her English was pretty good, but I don’t think she had the English skills to effectively communicate what we were seeing etc.
