The crowds were enormous, because it was the first Sunday of the month and the entrance for the rest of the people was free. Our guide explained to us that on 2nd of June is the day of the Republic so that's why the crowds were so big. Roberta was great in taking us to see the best places as she used to work there 7 years ago. Although she is small -as she mentioned several times- she could make herself heard and seen and she was the perfect guide. Her knowledge in history and archaeology is only overshined by her great spirit and atitudine. Also, she has a great smile! Thanks, Roberta for the cool experience on such a hot day!

I spent HOURS of time looking at tours, reading reviews and weighing one against the other. I am so glad i purchased this tour for our family of 5 (2 adults, 20 year old and 18 year old). Our tour guide - a third generation tour guide - was FABULOUS. He hit the right mix of funny , historically accurate and culturally insightful. He made it personal to the entire group and worked hard to make sure everyone felt included and connected.

Everything was so easy! From booking to meeting place. I was even contacted by WhatsApp to avoid the inconvenience of a free day at pompei which would have been a very busy day. The guided tour was efficient and very interesting. In short, a faultless tour. Thanks to the whole team (I was initially worried when I booked, reading some of the comments). For us: it was perfect!

Our guide was perfect! She was an architect and everything she told us was underlined by the shine in her eyes, which let us feel, that this place is the most fantastic of the world. We'd immediately book another tour with her! The german was super as well and she was very patient and answered every single question we had! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Overall it was a great tour. The only gripe I may have (I am searching to find a legitimate one) was the crowds and long lines getting in. We waiting for an hour to get through the entry gate. Once inside, it was very fascinating to see the ruins. I didn't know it was such a large city... I recommend this. Roberta was a great guide!! Super fun.

I did the Pompeii guided tour on Monday 19 May, Our Guide Giuseppe was fabulous - he was obviously passionate about roman history and passed on his knowledge in a friendly, fun manner. After the tour ended I stayed in the park to the end of the day and Giuseppe's tour helped with the rest of my sightseeing afternoon. Thankyou Giuseppe 🙏❤️

We got to see and learn about many of the interesting areas of Pompeii, and we were given extra advice for things we could explore on our own.

Rosana, an archaeologist, is an excellent and professional Pompeii guide. She showed us the ancient city, which was buried by Vesuvius almost 2,000 years ago, in an exciting, entertaining and knowledgeable way. We will definitely be back, as we were very impressed by the excavations, you need more than one day to see everything and the excavations have not yet been completed.

Fantastic tour with Vincenzo and the highlight of our time in Pompeii. He took us to less crowded parts of the city and his descriptions really brought the areas we visited to life. As an archaeologist he had knowledge of facts that other tour guides would not know and also had a sense of humour. The 2 hour tour went by in a flash and we were really disappointed when the tour ended, although he did give us a few tips for our self guided continuing tour of some of the areas we did not have the time to see with him. Overall an extremely interesting tour, not rushed and well worth the cost.

Pompeii was very beautiful, and I'm glad we got to experience it. Still had to wait in a bit of a line, however much shorter than the actual ticket line. It was busy, but there were some points where there was no one else near us. It made for good photo opportunities.

I purchased tickets long before my chosen day to go to Pompeii. The day I arrived I found out that admission was free as it was the first Sunday of the month. Or at any rate it was June 2. I contacted the site explaining the incident and within a few days they refunded me the full amount. I was very pleased. Congratulations. I will reuse this application as soon as I can.

Obviously it's good to save a bit by buying dual tickets. That said it seems a bit daft that at Pompeii you have to queue to change from a digital ticket to a paper one to get in. Surely this needs updating to save everyone time and money.

Great day exploring two very unique UNESCO historical archealogical sites as part of our honeymoon in Italy! We started at the Herculaneum first thing in the morning and were among the first visitors for the day. This was awesome as we avoided lots of crowds and school groups as we explored the ruins and followed our own self guided tour. The preservation of the artefacts was phenomenal and we were able to see active digging/restoration as we explored. We then went to Pompeii in the afternoon and again enjoyed a walk through history following a self-guided audio tour through the ancient city. We weren't able to skip-the-line at Pompeii as advertised by the booking and had to join the general queue to get out tickets from the voucher. We drove to both sites and parking was easily found - even in the afternoon when it was quite busy at Pompeii.

You can't get in without queuing because you have to collect your tickets on site, but it was still okay. The Plus Ticket was good for the additional opportunity to see the Mystery Villa for the really impressive murals, the Archeologicum was unfortunately closed. It makes sense to plan a whole day to visit the excavations, including arrival and departure, comfortable shoes are also highly recommended. The archaeological finds from Pompeii are best seen in the National Museum in Naples.

Visiting Pompeii was a fantastic experience! Everything went smoothly, though, as expected, it was quite crowded with tourists. However, the journey from Naples was memorable – the train ride was made special by an accordionist playing traditional Italian music, and the passengers clapping along. I’m not sure if this happens all the time, but it added a lovely touch to the trip. Naples itself is vibrant, with delicious food and plenty to see. Pompeii is a treasure trove of history, offering stunning sights perfect for photos and an incredible opportunity to learn about the past. Highly recommended!
