There where no "Skip" in any of this service, it was a mess getting into the permises and no benefit! All stars you get is for the talent and job of our guide, whom was bothe interesting, good in presenting and smiling. All applaus to her and nothing for the intro/entry - sorry!!

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. 😃

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.

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.

    We had a great time, our guide was really nice and we learned so much! Maybe include some water breaks at the fountains on hotter days.
