Pompeii Walking Tour with Gino - Myself, husband, baby and parents did this tour with Gino. Gino was amazing. As well as having a great knowledge of Pompeii he also had lots of jokes and made it a really enjoyable tour. 2 hours was the perfect amount of time although Pompeii is huge and you could spend hours. Really great day and would highly recommend.

Pompeii Tour with Guide - We took the regional train to Pompeii with our guide and had a excellent tour. It was very well organized. We had a fun and knowledgable tour with an amazing overview of the city and the culture. Then we were able to spend as much additional time as we wanted at the ruins. It was a perfect way to explore Pompeii for a first timer. HIghly reccomend, good value and excellent guide.

Must See - Firstly, this was a low hassle excursion, we met at the alloted time at Sorrento train station and were met by Gino. Before I go into details around Pompeii, I want to share my thoughts on our host. Gino was magnificent, so friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and a great sense of humour, I hope when you do your trip, he’s your guide! Pompeii is larger than I expected, the sense of history bleeds into you at every street corner. The majestic atmosphere leaves a lasting impression on you and I would say that this is a must visit and up there with the Rome Forum and the colosseum!

Tour a must - We booked the 2 hour skip-the-line guided tour that also included train tickets from Sorrento. Our train ride to Pompei was so much fun! Our guide was waiting for us at the exact spot at the train station where the information they gave us said he would be. He gave us a little info about the train ride and tour before we boarded the train. Once in Pompei our guide made sure we stayed together. He was such a fun and very knowledgeable guide. He has been a guide for a number of years and lucky for us because we got a lot of interesting facts and gained much knowledge of the ruins from him. He had a great sense of humor and spoke understandable English. He carried kitty treats for 3 of the cats who live within the ruins. That was sweet. We were enthralled with the ruins and the view of Mount Vesuvius from there. Don't miss this tour and definitely go the "skip the line" guided tour way. Also the train was nice because although our tour group boarded together going we were on our own to train back at our leisure. We stopped for some more yummy pizza before heading to the train after the tour. We would book with this company again...everything was exactly as stated in the tour information.
