Efficient and informative tour, highly recommended. The tour guide was excellent and everything ran smoothly, including pick up - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and recommend it. We took out two children, 20 and 18, and found the tour guide highly informative and friendly.

Would recommend 10/10 - Unfortunately I have forgotten the name of our tour guide, however, she was absolutely delightful and very informative about Pompeii. We, 2 people, were picked up by a small bus/van in Naples, from the train station where guides call your name, and were shuttled to Pompeii. We revived early pieces to have throughout the experience once we arrived so that we were able to hear the guide clearly as Pompeii itself is crowded. She was funny and made jokes while also describing the history of Pompeii and what archeologists have discovered over the years and how they know about what the city was like in the 1800s. Please be aware it is not the guides fault that the ground is difficult to navigate if you have any mobility issues as Pompeii was once a vibrant city that was destroyed by environmental causes and they cannot alter the terrain. This city faced a volcanic eruption as well as a tsunami and the ground is very uneven, so wear supportive shoes. Absolutely loved everything about this tour, though one person did take their ear piece out and we were all held up for about 5 minutes waiting for them. Worth hearing about the history and getting a description of what all of the different areas and parts of the city were like and how they were able to be preserved and uncovered over time. We were then given about a half hour of time at the end of the tour to use the bathroom and get water or a snack before the bus came to get us again to take us back to Naples.

Great day at Pompeii - Good review of the historical site. Guide did a great job conveying the information. Wish we could’ve spent a little more time for photos and roaming on our own but time did not allow.

Pompeii Plenty (NO all) EN short order - The tour, like all those I ENCOUNTERED, condenses in a short time ("half a day" considering the trips to/from Naples) a visit POR several DE DE DE LA BUILDINGES DE LA CIUDAD. The visit was right. We saw multiple sites. We passed POR the famous lupanar (no special jokes POR DE the guide that touched us). With a minimum DE time at the end to take some pictures. Both the round trip and the return trip were quite punctual (and the only DELAY was the fault of other tourists and NO DE organization). However, like so many other opinions, I would have liked the visit to go deeper or have more free time to see something POR ourselves before the return. In return, being comfortable and fast EN bus back EN Naples at noon, we were able to eat well (although NOwhere EN because the sites were already closing) and do several more activities around the city. As a note for improvement, some option more accessible to people DE reduced visibility would be welcome. If only allow that person to get closer to the objects by giving a little more DE time during the explanations.

Don’t be afraid to leave the tour… - The actual site, Pompeii, was amazing, but our guide, Salvatore, was not the best. He would be much better with a small group. He did not check to see if we all could see/hear what he was chatting about. He also rushed the tour. I was told that we would be loading back on the bus at 2 pm and Salvatore had us back almost 45 min early… then just disappeared. I would have much preferred to spend more of the extra time to explore the site, rather than just standing around waiting on the bus.
