Great tour, worth it - Very informative and fun tour! Our guide Francesco was very funny and enthusiastic and we had a very enjoyable time with him. He gave great explanations of the sights. He really gave a great feel for how the town was 2000 years ago and how the life of the inhabitants was.

Fun and interesting highlights tour of Pompei! - Very nice tour with fun and interesting commentary from Francesca. She was great with our 10 year old and had a lot of information to share. It was a nice pace, but didn't feel rushed. Only complaint of the tour company was that we were supposed to meet someone with a red umbrella at a provided address. We ended up finding the tour, but it wasn't at the address (per Google Maps) and there wasn't a red umbrella. The tour started across the street from where Google Maps indicated in the parking lot.

Bringing Pompeii back to life. - Excellent guide Francesco (Frankie). Worked hard delivering a gripping and entertaining description, asking us to challenge our imagination and see Pompeii in our minds as a living environment. Really made the place come to life. Well done Frankie. Highly recommended.

Money well spent, great deal if you appreciate your time. - Great deal if your priority is to make the most of your time. While the pickup didn't felt well organized and came with with a few minutes of delays; once in the vehicle thing were great. At arrival, it felt very organized and in control. We safe a ton of time and hustle buying this tour with admission and skip the line included; best decisio ever. I felt bad for those we passed that were lining up, it seemed a slow process. We couldn't get a better guide, Francesco (Franky), he has a particular laugh and a great way to incorporate fun and jokes to the true facts of history and landscape. THANK YOU! I had a blast!. He earned every penny we tip him and more. Yes, you show your appreciation to guides with tips here. I can definitely recommend this tour and I am very sure I will use it again if I come back with family.

2000 years ago... Fantastic! - Our visit to Pompeii with Francesco was truly beautiful. The guide not only provided us with in-depth knowledge of the history and archeology of Pompeii, but also managed to create entertaining parallels with modern day life. This approach made the tour very enjoyable and represented added value compared to a solo visit. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover not only Pompeii's past, but also its connection to the present. Well done Francesco!
