Once a thriving Roman town, Pompeii was buried beneath a blanket of volcanic rubble for centuries after the AD79 eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. Pay your entrance fee direct, then head inside to learn all about it as you wander amid ancient streets and relics. Later, you'll soak up views of the infamous volcano from the bell tower of the Sanctuary of the Madonna of the Rosary.

Vincenzo was amazing and he brought Pompeii to life for us. His experience as an archaeologist at Pompeii and Herculeneum allowed him to explain what we were seeing in greater depth and he answered all of our questions. The tour was very personalized and worth every penny. Highly recommended!

The incredible city of Pompeii.

Francesco our driver for the day made our day trip to Naples/Pompeii. Such a polite young man and very knowledgeable about the areas he took us too. Good luck to him as he continues his endeavors in life.
Magdalena was a very knowledgeable guide. Easy to understand. The only negative I would say is she could have slowed her pace down. A couple of us lagged behind at times and we would miss her description. Again a very hot day.
Ciro is terrific

Sergio was amazing!
We decided to keep our tour short because we had just flown into Rome the night before. We we were concerned it would not have been enough time to get a feel for Pompeii. Sergio was passionate about Pompeii history, its culture, architecture, and people. He was definitive about any questions we threw at him. Great tour guide! We recommend Sergio highly.

Pompeii with Ivan - Fabulous!

We had a private tour with Ivan. He was absolutely amazing! His enthusiasm and knowledge kept us enraptured during the entire experience. We learned more than we could have hoped for. Without a doubt, this was a highlight of our trip. Pompeii is amazing, but with Ivan as a tour guide it was exceptional. Thank You Ivan for the experience of a lifetime.
Great day!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
