What people are saying about Pompeii

Francesco and Amadeo made our visit personal and interesting. They knew so much about Naples, Pompey and Herculeum that added to our adventure. Amadeo drove us everywhere safely in the driving rain while Francesco made sure we had what we needed all day. Our tour guide, who was presented as "one of the driving forces behind getting tour guides trained and regulated" was awesome. She knew how to move through the many school groups with ease and grace. I wish I could remember her name as she was intelligent, had an incredible sense of humor and knew more about this area than could be imagined! A highlight!

Giovanni our driver and Diego our guide turned on an excellent day. Giovanni made sure we reached our destinations in a timely way, met our guide, lunched at an excellent restaurant and got home safely. Diego the guide delivered an impassioned account of life in the villages of Pompeii and Herculaneum, giving us a great insight into them as well as the events of the days of the disaster. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who, like me, is fascinated by the story of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and the events that surround them

Great tour and organisation, the guide, Sergio, did an excellent job taking us through Pompeii and Herculaneum, providing us with an enjoyable narrative of life at the time, the work of archeologists as well as those dramatic events. A pretty remarkable experience - would thoroughly recommend!

An expensive trip with a group of 24 but a really informative guide with excellent English. Highly recommend! Thanks Miguel!

Very nice experience. We really liked the virtual tour. I recommend.
