Do yourself a favour and book this tour! - I booked this tour because I wanted my children (aged 11 and 14) to get an appreciation and understanding of Pompeii but didn’t want to spend hours wandering around, not really know what we were looking at and them getting bored.
We got the most amazing experience with Linda.
She spoke perfect English, was funny, engaging and gave us really great little tidbits of information that we never would have got using the audio tour.
She guided us effortlessly around all the most important parts, ushering us to the shade where possible and waited patiently for us to get all our photos.
Linda is passionate about Pompeii and it really shows.
Thanks for giving us such a great experience!

Nice tour with Linda - We had made a mistake in the time, but that was no problem for Linda. She enthusiastically talked about the history and all the buildings. Our teenagers also liked it

Linda perfect guide - Linda was very kind, nice and punctual in her explanations. Getting the children involved. The only flaw is the price. Thank you.

The absolute best!! - Linda our guide was fantastic. We had issues with the trains and were late but Linda was incredibly kind and patient. She waited for us and made no fuss. When we queued to pick up our tickets she went out of her way to find someone to help us get through it quickly (tip - use the entrance at the bottom of the road the train station entrance is on. Its much quieter!) So by the time our 2hr tour started we had lost almost half an hour. Linda took us around the main points of the site at a nice relaxed pace and we got to see everything planned including 2 buildings that aren't usually open to the public. Linda is clearly passionate about the history of pompeii, we learnt so much. She was engaging, we laughed, it was a perfect tour. I expected it to finish in 1.5hrs due to the late start but Linda incredibly kindly did a 2hr tour and even dropped us inside the train station and validated our tickets to ensure we caught our train (this was our 1st trip to Italy and 1st excursion). Linda went above and beyond and is genuinely one of the nicest people we have met. Thank you so much for everything you did for us, it meant alot and now we have the best memories and stories of pompeii.

Great Experience! - Linda is great! Some members of our group had a tour with Linda years ago and brought us for a tour of Pompeii. Highly recommend getting a guide for visiting the site and Linda is the best!

Amazing tour guide! - Our your guide Linda was fantastic!! She knew so much about the history of Pompeii. What we valued most was how she would ask us questions and keep us engaged throughout the entire tour. Pompeii was an amazing experience and it wouldn't have been the same without Linda!

The best way to see Pompeii-Linda is great! - Our family - 7 people including 2 kids (7 & 9) - wanted a private, guided tour of Pompeii and luckily for us we chose Linda! She was terrific! !Very knowledgeable & great with the kids! Pompeii is huge & she expertly guided us around - it became quickly apparent that seeing Pompeii with an experienced guide was the way to go. Linda clearly loves her work. The kids asked a lot of questions & she was great with them (& us) . She knows her stuff. She has a relaxed manner & was fun to be with. We were very happy to have a private guide (vs being herded around as part of a large group).
Would we choose her again as a guide-absolutely!!!

Guided tour of Pompeii - I booked a guided tour of Pompeii as suggested and was not disappointed.
There are many companies available to book with, but i used 'Get your guide' as i used them preciously for a tour in Rome.
Was contacted thr night before with full details of meeting place. They were also available on 'chat for questions.
Picked up on time and taken directly to Pompeii where we were met by our guide.
Rather than have a guide shouting information to is, we were provided with ear pieces through which we could hear all the facts relayed by her. She was very knowledgeable and answered any questions.
Next was lunch which was pizza and then on to Mount Vesuvius.
This is an easy climb and plenty of time was allocated.
Overall, great trip but it is a full day as the journey time from Sorrento is approx 1.5 hrs

Whistle stop tour of Pompeii - Quite a short tour of one half of Pompeii. Excellently organised and guided. Pompeii is very busy but there was room for everyone to see the highlights. If you want more time and to see it all book a full day trip. Be prepared for rough paving and very hot temperatures.
