Travel through time - Visit with Camillo Sorrentino, a truly passionate person, full of details and anecdotes that immerses you in another era, just like a journey through time. Magic place immersed in limbo.

Excellent trip and tour of Pompeii - The tour was amazing and so much better with a knowledgeable tour guide (Jolanta). We first visited Pompeii in 1992 before lots of it was discovered, and it was so interesting to see it all now but also to have everything explained with the history of what life in Pompeii was like before the eruption. Jolanta spoke excellent English and provided a great tour.

Long day but worth it! - It is taxing to make it a day trip from Rome but worth very minute! So much to see. Our guide, an archeologist, brought the location and events to life!

Perfect experience! - Our guide Camillo was super professional. Very prepared without ever being boring, he managed to capture the attention of my children with curious anecdotes. He responded patiently to all our questions and was attentive to everyone's needs. Perfect experience!

Disappointing - Although Pompeii is impressive, my tour with archaeologist was very disappointing. Within an hour I had already lost the man twice. You didn't have time to take a picture, because in the time you looked into the lens, it was gone. 1st time still found, but 2nd time no more. Wasn't the only one either because I saw several members of my group who had lost him. So eventually walked around myself. An audio tour is half price and all sites are numbered, so you can listen if anything interests you. And take a picture and walk at your own pace. Moreover, I assume that audio tour is voiced in normal English. A bit easier to follow than an Italian trying to speak English.
