Great excursion and worth a visit - This tour is great. Our guide Gino was very humorous, knowledgeable and charismatic. It was interesting to travel by train ( though very hot and sticky). Would recommend. I think without a good guide you would miss a lot of interesting things.

Great - Our tour guide Gino was great! Very informative and funny. Made the tour very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend a tour guide as it’s difficult to fully understand everything and the history without a guide. The group size was perfect for the tour and two hours is the right amount of time for the tour.

Excellent trip, excellent guide! - Gino was a brilliant guide - he had so much knowledge but was also very entertaining too. It was incredibly easy - met at Sorrento train station and had all the tickets ready. Getting straight in was excellent as we didn’t have to queue up in the heat. Would highly recommend.

Hot day in Pompéi - The time was ideal. 2 hours. Couldn’t take much more on a hot day. Gino was fabulous ! I’m more about geography than history but glad we did it!

Great day at Pompeii - Our guide was outstanding. He had many years of experience, and he was interesting, humorous and informative. Taking the train was perfect. Following the tour we enjoyed a tasty lunch nearby and then took the train for a leisurely ride back to our villa.

Highly recommended tour guide - Gino was a great guide. For a family with two teens to spend 2 hours in high heat and embrace history is not easy and Gino did it with great knowledge, flair and humour. Thoroughly enjoyed by all and a great compromise for families who want to go to Pompei but not everyone is a lover of history.
