Excellent

We always knew Pompei would be amazing, but the tour made it special and that was all because of our excellent tour guide Ilaria. She paced the tour perfectly, giving us time to properly appreciate what we were seeing and dso we didn't get overally tired. She always seemed to find the tiny bit of shade, which was very much appreciated. But the best part is that she made Pompei about the people, painting a picture that allowed you to see it as somewhere that people lived and not just an amazing archaeology site. Thank you Ilaria for a fantastic day!

Excellent tour! Tour guide was very informative & took us to the most interesting sights of Pompeii. Tour length was excellent too, well worth the money!

Fabulous tour! Pompei is amazing but we got so much more out of our visit with such an excellent guide than we would have if we’d visited alone. With his knowledge, we could see the highlights, wander some less busy parts and get a whole lot of insight into what we were seeing, all in three hours. Plus he gave us recommendations for what to see and do afterwards. The ear pieces are great because you can wander away from the guide to take photos etc but still hear everything he’s saying. Highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide was fantastic. She was super knowledge of Pompeii, very personable and I can't imagine visiting the site with out a guide.She pointed out things that you would never even see, notice or begin to know the history of. She truly brought Pomeii and the history of it to LIFE!!
