Our guide was well organized but flexible so that we were taken around the site in an order that avoided crowds. She explained things well and in an entertaining way.

My daughter is in her final year of Archiogy and her dream was to visit Pompeii. We decided on the audio guide and skipping the line tour because it was great value for money and didn't offer unnecessary complications. Everything was well communicated and explained... and was exactly as expected. We can also recommend the bus transport from Naples as an easier option to arrive at Pompeii. We had a fantastic time and the staff were excellent and helpful. Thanks guys for helping us with a big tick for the bucket list ! Katie

The tour was very good. Gave us a glimpse of everyday Roman colony city life. What should be added: tell about those sites worth visiting after the tour thatwere skipped. Also about the cafeteria. Gad to ask about tgese. Also in tge beginning when going to Lupernalia, perhaps tell about other buildings we pass, not just about red light district related stuff. Felt like that was the only building of interest. 😃

Me and my four friends had the best of time, was very interesting to see and to hear about history and life before and after eruption of Vesuvio. The guide was excellent talking fluently English and explaning everything.

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.

The guide was good, but the tour was far too short. Unfortunately, the amphitheater wasn't included. Too many tourists, and the connection to the headset wasn't good. So many people all at once in the location; it was simply overcrowded. Unfortunately, it is not possible to take photos in peace without some annoying do-it-yourself person running into the picture with a phone just to take the thousandth selfie they will never look at again.... . Professional photographers with appropriate camera equipment almost always have the upper hand. The tour guide could not take account of the time a good photo takes.
