History brought to life… - We had the absolute pleasure of being guided around Pompeii by Sergio when we visited on 13th July. We wanted to get the most out of our visit, and since this is an extremely large site we worried we would not know where to begin. Sergio’s knowledge was outstanding about the site, where he transitioned between key areas of interest while simultaneously highlighting small details that you would maybe miss if you were wandering around yourself. Sergio’s passion for the site is clear, as he brought the history to life describing the ways people conducted their daily lives within the ancient city. You could visit Pompeii multiple times, and leave each time having discovered something different, but this tour is the perfect place to begin. Thank you Sergio for such an insightful tour! Truly an unforgettable experience.

Good 2 hr tour - Teresa was our tour guides. Always super friendly and knowledgeable. Answered all questions showed us and explained everything throughout the tour. At the end you can stay and further explore on your own. If you are looking for comprehensive good 2 hour tour this one is great. You should still plan for at least a couples hours on your own if not more. It’s a city hard to see it all in 2-3 hrs.

Shoutout to Paolo! - We were very lucky to have an excellent guide, Paolo, who painted an amazing picture of how life used to be in pompei! The most important was that he gave us all the tools to explore and understand the vastness of pompei on our own. PS: In my experience the earpieces did not fit to my small ears. Another kind of earpieces would be better for all shapes of ears.
