We didn't make our meeting time , the Google pin they sent was wrong. We had to walk down the hill and then our group had left and they couldn't rebook, they have us our entrance tickets and we just did our solo tour. No refund or difference was given.

Yolanda was an excellent tour guide. Very informative and engaging with our daughter, who loved chasing her from place to place and asking numerous questions about Pliny..... The undercover area currently being excavated was particularly interesting to see. It's great to see the process of excavation. Fab tour- unmissable location. I would definitely recommend a tour as the site is vast and the tour means to see the most significant remains till you run out of energy or it rains. It would be helpful to have more covered seating areas, as when it did rain very heavily it was impossible to find shelter anywhere.

Our guide at Pompei (Michele) was excellent. His historical and archaeological knowledge was so informative and really painted a picture of what life must have been like in Roman Pompei.

The guide was very good. The site was very interesting and different from what I expected. This is a good stop for anyone visiting Italy.

Very interesting tour. We didn’t see some of the famous sites in Pompei that we see in pictures. What we saw was incredible though and the information was great. But when we asked about the victims, specific ones, we were told they were in the museum. This wasn’t the case. I just think hitting the well known spots should possibly be added

A really great tour. The guide was brilliant (Antonio). His knowledge of the history of Pompeii was extremely helpful in enabling us to appreciate the rich culture of Pompeii and its history. A memorable tour that provided a substantial overview and analysis of the events that occured and how well preserved the site is.

We had a great tour of Pompeii. Our guide was wonderful, took good care of us and was highly informative. She also did her best to take us places a little away from the large crowds present.
