We had a fantastic guidertour at Pompeii. A special thanks goes to our guide, Mr. Igor, who made the tour both engaging and informative. His knowledge of Pompeii’s history was impressive, and he had a great way of explaining things so that even our son(13yrs) could easily follow and stay interested. He brought the ancient city to life with fascinating stories, details, and insights that we would have completely missed on our own. Mr. Igor was also very friendly, patient, and attentive, making sure everyone in the group was comfortable and involved. The pace of the tour was perfect—not rushed, but still covering all the key highlights. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience for all three of us. We highly recommend this guided tour, especially with Mr. Igor, to anyone visiting Pompeii

The whole process was brilliant. We didn't need to queue, Maria led the 2 hour tour, it was engaging, inclusive and witty. She also kept our daughters (aged 12 & 14) attention and they were fascinated. When booking, I looked at reviews of a few companies and this one came out on top. The meeting spot is in the upstairs of the station and you just need to cross the road with the group and you're in.

The Pompei guided tour was very good. It has covered the daily life of the people of Pompei. The fact that the area of the Pompei site is huge, a guided tour truly saves us a lot of time to explore it on our own. A BIG round of applause to our tour guide Igor, who has made the tour very interesting. Highly recommend to those who will visit the Pompei ruins to book the guided tour.

The staff were knowledgeable and helpful, and the area was well-organized, but I must point out a few areas where I found the cleaning to be lacking. I didn’t see any cleaning staff walking along the walkways, and in some places I found paper and food scraps inside the column bases and on the floor (people’s lack of civility isn’t improving).

You walk through a village. Unlike other times, you don't just see the ruins from above—you actually step inside the houses and courtyards, see the fountains, mosaics, inscriptions, and frescoes... you even go into the bars! It's cool—I highly recommend it :)

We went to Pompei and had a tour guide named Lucia. It was her first tour on a first day in a new job. Despite few minor dificulties she was holding on like a lionese. Cudos to her. The tour was nice, informative and all together pleasant. Would recomend.

The guide was excellent and had very interesting information. The only thing I noticed is that we would lose reception if he was too far ahead or around a corner from us. But we figured it out and kept up when we could

Regarding email that I have send you, I have gone to an office at 1st floor near train station then this office told me to go to the door 5 minutes away from there instead of the door which was closer. when I arrived to the mentioned the lady at the desk told me that she need to see all the family members where my family was waiting at the door near to train station, then we again waited for them to walk to the door I am standing. So this experience was just losing time becuse of silly procedures, If I waited normal ticket line at the door, I could enter probably 15 minutes earlier with no difficulties so this experience was not helpful. everything could be run through digital tickets and QR code

Pompeii isn’t a place you just visit—it’s one you piece together. This experience lets you do it your way, with just the right level of support.

Getting started

Start in Naples if you’ve chosen transfers—hop on a Circumvesuviana train for flexibility or a shuttle for a more direct ride. Once you arrive, head straight in with skip-the-line entry and begin exploring without delays.
