I have never been a fan of guided tour, but this one was absolutely great. Our guide, Ciro G. was friendly, very knowledgeable and organised.He took us on an just over two hours tour, showing notable buildings and explaining the history of Pompeii very well. The group was quite large but we were provided with headset so that everyone could hear our guide very well. Ciro G. also gave us some tips on what to continue to visit in our own time if we wished to. Highly recommended.

CROOKS - DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR We cannot recommend this tour. The info on how to find the meeting point is not informative enough. And when we well in advance of the start of the tour wrote to the guide on WhatsApp, the guide did not respond. We then called Viator's customer service for help, but they were not able to help us. The worst part is that the guide later said we were "no shows", which we were not. We were at the site 30 min. prior to the tour, but we were not able to find the exact meeting point. When we asked for a refund, the guide refused. So we paid for a service, we did not receive. We called Viator's customer service regarding the refund case, but they seem to side with the guide even though we showed them screenshots of the message on What'sApp and the call to customer services where you can see we were on time and tried everything we could to find the meeting point. We feel robbed of our money. Do not book this tour. They cannot be trusted.

We did the 2 hour guided tour and got to see the high points of Pompeii. The tour guide was informative, had a great sense of humor and open to questions. We were fortunate to have a sunny day, temperature 68*F. This checked off one of the things on my bucket list, even though we lived in Italy for 2 years but never made it this far south.

Meeting point was not clear google and apple say two different spots none are right. You would have taken my money and not carded if I didn’t show up.

Overall the tour was good. Our guide was informative and told us many interesting facts, but I don’t think the tour was worth the high price. Considering other tours were offered for less, I don’t think this one gives more value than the less expensive tours.

The guide was good but the description of the tour is deceptive The guide promised was an archeologist but instead was a tour guide This was disappointing I wanted an expert instead got someone who memorized a script

Best to Google Pompeii and learn about the history before starting your tour. Our guide was Laura and she did an excellent job explaining everything during our tour. She spoke fluent English, was knowledgeable and most importantly, she was patient. After her tour you can wander the archeological site to get a greater experience if you wish. Thanks Viator and Laura.

Our guide Alessandra was very knowledgeable and patient with our group of twenty. We were given headsets to hear her throughout the tour. The pace was good for a varied group of young and old. Amazing experience and crucial to experience it with a professional guide to maximize your visit…this site is enormous! Make sure to wear sturdy shoes.

Our guide was very informative and entertaining. She knew the history and some little known facts. The tour ran a little long so we had to leave before it was actually over.

Tour guide did not come. Chaos at the meeting site. Viator offered no refund We have used them for years but never again.
