Very well done! My wife and I booked this tour as part of our 50th Anniversary trip through Italy. For this event we took the train from Sorrento to Pompeii (easy and inexpensive) and we all met together at the Tour office, which is on the 2nd floor of the train station where you arrive in Pompeii - so easy. Next, we met the tour guide and received our instructions and listening devices and walked a short distance to the entry gate. We went right through a dedicated gate (truly jumped the line) and into the site. Our guide took us on a very interesting and fact filled trek through Pompeii that ultimately finished with the most fascinating sights and restorations you could imagine. Pompeii is huge and attempting to self guide would undoubtedly be an impossible task... There's just too much to see and much is repetitive if you walk around trying to figure it out yourself! Using the Headout App and Landmarks Tours was a truly simple and enjoyable experience for me an my wife.

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.

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
