Highlights of Pompei Tour - Our guide, Laura, was informative as well as cordial. She made the entire experience interesting. The group of approximately 12 persons was just the right size. I would definitely recommend.

Poor instruction - The tour was wonderful, we upgraded to have a guide instead of just audio. The problem was the instruction on where to meet was vague and caused a lot of difficulty for not only us but others that were in the tour.

Skip queue tickets and audio - When we got the voucher from the agent the officials on the door refused us entry - telling us to go back and swap the voucher for tickets - saying it’s not difficult. Back we went and the agency employee took us passed them - they said nothing-and to the front. Only one cafe opened inside and ladies toilets had no water so no flush or ability to wash hands.. pretty grim

Pompeii self guide audio tour. - The collection of the tickets & audio guide was very easy. Do make sure that you have a form of ID to leave with the company. Access to the experience was straightforward although you still have to queue. Did find the audio guide confusing. In the end just finding the place and listening to that particular description.

Don't buy tickets through this site! - The ruins of Pompey are very impressive and definitely worth a visit. I would buy the tickets directly on site and not through the online site of this company. It is not an official sales site!! Skip the Line was the opposite for us, we first had to look for the small office where we could pick up Vouchers and the audio guides for which you have to deposit the pass! Then we had to walk with the Vouchers again 500 m back to the main entrance and queue there again to exchange the Vouchers for original tickets. Then queue again at the entrance. I don’t understand what this has to do with skip the line, it’s the opposite and you even have to queue more. There have been even more complaints about the way this online sale works.

No need to book - I booked a trip for the first Sunday of the month when I got there the person handing out the audio guides said the first Sunday of every month is free and all I really should have been charged for was 10 Euros for the audio guides. I contacted Viator and was told they had to contact the host for a refund but I have not heard back yet. Pompeii is fantastic, don’t book this trip wait till you get there and rent your own audio guide

Recommend using a guide mislead by staff at Pompeii - If you’re going to Pompeii, I recommend you getting a tour guide. We signed up for the skip the line Pompeii on your own. It is a nightmare, having to go over to a different area to pick up what we thought were headset. It just turned out to be some type of old cell phones with a map. Then we tried to enter Pompeii where the person at the desk told us to enter and they said no we have to go to the first entrance. So that was down the hill we went down the hill and when we entered, we were at the end of it not the beginning of it Got very turned around and didn’t know which site was in what area. After being very confused for over an hour we saw very few things and left. Very disappointed. Do yourself a favor and pay more and get a guide.

Disappointed with the process - Skip the Line was a joke! It did not happen. Arrived to find we had to walk 1km to get our ticket from a wholesaler, then line up again to have that ticket exchanged for the entry ticket, then line up again to get through the gate. Not impressed!
