Absolutely wonderful tour! Our guide was Anna - she was knowledgeable and so engaging! 3 hours went by in an instant and she made Pompeii come alive with her passion and energy! Would highly recommend.

Tour and tour guide was great! But we had a lot of issues going to the location of the meeting point. Clicking on the link for the meeting point made us wake at the entire end of the park no where beer the entrance and the meeting point.

Like the review I just read here, we also were unable to join the tour in a timely fashion. We received a text reminding us of the address - unfortunately google maps was not showing us the entrance to the park but rather a site many meters down the street - again no one to talk to and the company was totally unresponsive - they did not even offer to refund the park tickets.

Do not book. We were about 5 mins late due to a health emergency and there is no way to contact the guide. We could not find the guide upon arrival and no refund was offered— do yourself a favor and book with a person you can actually reach.
