Pompeii Half-day Trip from Naples

We had an amazing trip to Pompeii in July. Even though it was about 100 degrees Fahrenheit that day, we really enjoyed learning about Pompeii. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Pompeii and the surrounding area. Great time!

Be prepared for a lot of walking on uneven cobble roads! Well worth the experience! An amazing tour of Pompeii

2nd visit to Pompeii, the sheer extent of how big a city it was is amazing. The size of the volcano that destroyed it immense. Tour was very informative, Elisa, our guide was so knowledgable and we learnt new and interesting facts that put scale on the disaster. Thank you

Pompei is amazing! Definitely an item ticked off the bucket list, equal to if not better than walking through the forum in Rome. The only sad bit was finding out at the end, just how little we'd actually seen, and the vast area we'd had no time to see. The one disappointment was the guide. She was clearly very knowledgeable about the place, but the group was very spread out, given the narrow streets and uneven footing, and she just went into her explanations of the features before making sure everyone was within earshot. We weren't the only ones having to ask other group members what the guide had said. We've been used to guides getting everyone together in previous guided tours.

The city is incredibly well persevered and is something you should definitely see while in italy. My wife and I found this tour 10 min before they departed Naples. By the time we got to the meeting point 2 or 3 min after booking, the guide already had our information and was ready for us. The guide spoke 5 languages fluently and was incredible. The trip was fun and I would recommend it for families, couples, or those traveling alone.

Hot in July, however the tour was amazing and educational. I would not visit without a tour guide Thanks!

This tour would have rated a 5 star if not for a lack of communication. The guide at the ruins was excellent! Knowledgeable, personable and professional. In spite of huge crowds and extreme heat, we enjoyed the tour of the ruins immensely. The communication failures were related to transportation and initial arrival at tour site. First, the company told us to meet for pickup outside security at cruise port. Well there were two layers of security. We were early at the first, so not seeing anyone holding a sign with our name (as all our other tours did), we went to the second security (and we’re mobbed by taxi drivers) and still no sign. After rechecking everywhere, called the tour office. They told us driver had already left and they were sending someone. A loaded minibus arrived, with no external markings. Asked if this was tour, driver said yes, we got in. Arrived at tour site, the bus unloaded into a crowd - no directions as to where to go or departure time. Followed the crowd, for the rest of the tour. Never knew whether we were in right group or not. At end of the tour they announced buses would be coming at 2 (another 40 minutes) This was to a crowd of 50+ people in a crowded area. We’re we all part of same tour group? Unknown to me. I finally specifically asked if these were buses from my tour company. Got an affirmative. When the mini buses arrived, the crowd surged to board. Finally somone gave directions to assigned buses (cruise terminal). Once on the bus, the driver confirmed our names. This was the first time in the whole day I was acknowledged, by name, as being in right group. There is an easy fix for this tour to get 5 stars - communicate, communicate, communicate.

Well organised, tour guide (Maria) was very knowledgeable and did a good job of engaging the audience.

Great tour. Pompeii was super impressive! It was great to have transportation from our hotel to the tour itself.

I can imagined how the people suffered after erupting volcano and earthquake. The city was gorgeous and beautiful.
