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

Great guide and experience , shame we didn't have time to make it to the amphitheatre and teatro but need more hours I guess. I wish I'd known some exhibits close at 6. Great tour though

The guide was both extremely knowledgable and entertaining. Clearly he was an actual or wannabe actor. Some of his shtick was a bit over the top, but it was welcome on a very grey day. I thought the tour was well paced, and left me with the basic knowledge of the ruins, which is all you can expect in a 2 hour tour

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.
