Exceptional and fascinating

Published on Jan, 2025

Pompeii is much larger and older than you would expect. The history and the civilization and culture are fascinating. The 2 hour small group archeologist tour provides plenty of detailed information and visits many significant spots. Our archeologist tour guide Alicia was excellent! You’ll have time afterward to tour on your own to see other notable spots like the music and poetry amphitheater, the theater, and the large amphitheater which is the oldest known amphitheater in the world.

Our guide was very knowledgable about the site and its history and the ongoing work there. It was fascinating and enlightening.

Very enjoyable tour

The tour was fantastic! Anna was very knowledgeable and her commentary was interesting and enjoyable. It was so nice to be able to walk around and listen and not have to worry about getting lost or trying to figure things out on our own. Keep in mind you will be doing a lot walking. I think we walked 2-3 miles. This was a bit tiring for some of the older members of our group so something to consider when planning your trip. Would highly recommend this tour

Fantastico!

BOOK IT! Paolo is the best tour guide we’ve experienced. Extremely knowledgeable, took his time explaining things and went out of his way to make sure the entire group got the photos they needed. Really easy to find the tour operator and loved everything they showed us.

Good tour

Well informed, entertaining and friendly guide giving lots of fascinating detail that you won’t get otherwise. Dress for the weather though: in January it was quite windy and cold and we were glad of our woolly hats!
