The guided tour of Pompeii was absolutely fantastic and one of the highlights of my trip. Skipping the line saved a lot of time, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable, explaining the history of the city in a clear and engaging way. We visited the main houses, streets, and forums while learning fascinating stories about daily life before the eruption. The group size was perfect, not too crowded, and everything was well organized from start to finish. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to truly understand Pompeii instead of just walking around on their own.

Pompeii in and of itself is amazing. So much history and interesting facts to be learned. Our guide, spoke so quickly and without interest or enthusiasm thus we quickly became board. This might have been do to the fact that we as a family had done some research ahead of time? The experience was just less than we had hoped for.

Well-organized service. Easy identification of the starting point. Provision of suitable equipment so that everyone, even those further away, can hear the guide (although during the last 15 minutes the system was not working; however, we were among the few who had such a system, as I noticed). Knowledgeable and friendly guide (however, guides should speak more slowly, more clearly, and without distorting words when speaking English, an issue we encountered with almost all Italian guides giving tours in English)

Explore the 2000-year-old Roman town of Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its well-preserved historic landmarks.

Time travel with an audio guide that narrates the city's history, and see the eerie casts of residents, frozen in time by volcanic ash.

At the Amphitheatre, be awed by the frescos of the battle between Nucerians and Pompeiians, and see the Temple of Apollo, dating back to 120 BC.

Fun fact: Pompeii has appeared in pop culture for years, including the Italian Bob episode of The Simpsons.

Igor was fine but he spoke very fast with a strong accent. Good that he was very knowledgeable about Pompwii although he did not know that the Villa dei misteri was closed on Tuesday. It was a quiet day so there was no line to skip.
