Naples for history geeks

It was an amazing experience, our archaeologist guide Vincenzo managed to take us back a few thousand years ago...! Highly recommended!

We got a taxi from the port to Herculaneum (120 euros) for a 2 hr visit. I think this is a little high because it didnt include the entry and its only a 20 min ride allowing the driver to do other jobs before coming back. Anyway the ticket were easily purchased online and emailed to me. Once there Herculaneum didnt disappoint. Lots of archeology well preserved - moasic tiles, fireplaces, columns, buidlings, rooms and so much to walk around and see.

So helpful to have transport between the sites. It was a little chaotically organised but it worked. Disappointingly there was no time for lunch or coffee breaks, or to visit gift shop at Pompei. I would recommend taking lunch and drinks with you. The tour guide provided at Pompei was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The pompei tour was a little rushed and I didn't feel I had time to look round the museum part properly. The guided tour only does a very small part of the site. Be prepared for a lot of walking on rough ground. If I were to do the tour again, I would miss off Herculaneum. The three site visit was too much for one day.

Our guide, Silvia, captivated us during the tour by sharing her knowledge and experience as an archaeologist. The tour gave us a chance to learn how people lived back then and to see the main ruins. A wonderful tour with a fantastic guide!

I had an amazing experience visiting Pompeii with Headout! The entry process was smooth and hassle-free, which made the start of the trip very enjoyable. Exploring Pompeii was absolutely fascinating — walking through the ancient streets and seeing the preserved ruins felt like stepping back in time. The organization was great, and everything went exactly as expected. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized visit. Thank you for such a seamless experience!

Very insightful, informative and engaging and such a great sense of humour from our guide too. Loved the tour and Massimo who delivered the tour to us. Thank you 😀

Greeted at the meeting point by the very happy, cheerful Daniele. He was exceptionally organised and clear with his instructions. We were taken through by our guide, Michele (Michael), he was incredibly knowledgeable, connected with the group, and entertaining. The walk was quite challenging and exhausting, navigating some difficult terrain at times over 3 hours. It’s definitely not a tour for people with mobility issues. However, it was fascinating to explore the site and learning so much history from Michele. I nearly chose to do this tour independently, but following advice from a close friend, I’m glad I chose this option. This is the second tour I’ve booked with Headout and both times I have been nothing less than impressed. I highly recommend using Headout for booking this tour. Exceptional!!

The tour was fantastic. "Napoli Sotterranea" was really, really interesting, and the guide was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and very friendly!
