Naples for history geeks

At this time of year, it is not crowded and you can fully enjoy this beautiful archaeological site. No queues and plenty of opportunity to photograph beautiful corners. The highlight was the exhibition about women in Pompeii in the villa opposite the amphitheater. The sign was inconspicuous and we almost missed it.

Everything was smooth. My husband and I love our tour of Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius. All the necessary information were sent beforehand and the support was always available for any questions z

Fantastic Pompeii & Sorrento tour booked via Headout. Well-organized, knowledgeable guide, smooth transport, and enough time to explore history and enjoy coastal views. Highly recommended!

The tour happened as advertised. The guide, Paolo, was very nice and took us around Pompei ruins explaining everything in detail. The place is really amazing, an unique experience of a whole town destroyed by Vesuvius eruption. I totally recommend it.

Very special and particular experience...seasoned with Massimiliano excellent guide prepared historically and also nice..vote.top

Was very well organise and amazing staff Alexandro - was there to pick us up and drop us off through out our tours Anna - in Pompeii was amazing and knowledgeable Raphael - in Herculaneum was full of knowledge and passion

Everything was so well organised, and we knew what we were doing at all times. The train to and from Herculaneum was easy to navigate - there was a train manager on board that helped when we didn't know what to do. The walk from the station to the site was downhill, and very easy to find. The tour guide was knowledgable and friendly - made us really feel what it was like to have been in Herculaneum at the time of the infamous eruption. Getting back was easy - retrace our steps to the station, hop on the train, and back to Sorrento. Great day - amazing site - definitely recommend!

An amazing experience. Rich in history and content from the get-go. The ruins are so well preserved and access is very open allowing such a great insight into life back in Pompeii 2000 years ago. At times you can almost imagine youself walking through the town in its prime. I recommend giving at least 2 hours to walk around the ruins, and at least 4 for those who enjoy learning about hsptry and taking in the detail. Parking was easy, plenty of food / service areas and despite the large crowd, we rarely felt held up by the amount of people, due to the amount of content and size of the town. I will return.
