Pompeii Archaeological Park

Pompeii was an ancient Roman city near modern Naples in the Campania region of Italy, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area (e.g. at Boscoreale, Stabiae), was buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Volcanic ash typically buried inhabitants who did not escape the lethal effects of the earthquake and eruption.

We enjoyed our day trip and the guide was very informative and helpful. The trip was very well organised

Carmen_K

Very enjoyable experience excellent Tour guide of the historical Pompeii. The tour was really organised and make sure all the groups are involved. We have met and we were grouped by countries which was interesting.

Adrien_F

Naples and its coastline were magnificent, visiting Pompeii ruins gave us a better perspective of its history. The coach driver was brilliant. Able to manoeuvre a large bus in narrow streets of Naples. Unfortunately the restaurant where the group had lunch was a disappointment. In summary, how little can it get away with.

Barbara_M

What a wonderful excursion. Our guide was so spectacular in her knowledge of Pompei she was so informative. I learned a lot about this site.

Patricia_R

Very happy with the guide and Pompeii amazing - coach comfortable, even when delayed in heavy traffic on return

Perry_P

The Pompeii Ruins themselves are very interesting, and the tour itself pretty good (~2 hours although no time to explore on our own), but it takes forever to get to the action because of a forced stop for breakfast, forced stop for lunch, and a strange pause in a souvenir shop at the Ruins before the tour. I get it that businesses work together on stuff like this but it seemed extra tacky in this case. Basically, a 13-hour day had 2 hours of fun. The description on the web site wasn't wrong - it says as much, just figured the downtime would be a little more enjoyable than it was. If only someone made it pretty easy to get to the Ruins from Rome (~2.5 hour bus ride each way) and then folks could have the middle 6 to 8 hour to explore and eat on their own. I tried piecing together the transportation myself but it seemed like a mess of connections which is why I lazily booked this tour and ended up regretting it.

It was easy to find our meeting point for the coach to the Amalfi Coast, because the guidance on Viator was very clear. The tour guide and driver were very organised and we left in time for our tour of Naples, Amalfi Coast & Pompei plus Mount Vesuvius. Absolutely stunning views along the way. The lunch of a margarita pizza and a drink were included in the package. The tour guide for Pompei was so knowledgeable. Fully recommend this tour!

Kim_L

The trip was great both our guide on the bus, and especially our guide on the tour itself were terrific! The guide on the bus was very knowledgeable about Rome and Roman history, because he was a Roman himself. He was quite fun and engaging, and it made the trip go by very very fast. we picked up our guide in Napoli. He was terrific. He was a professor and his students participated in the dig at Pompeii. This gave him a great advantage to provide us with not only the best sites at Pompeii, but with great detail, and we learned so much on that trip. The only downside I can think of is the restaurant where we had lunch. I felt very bad for the woman sitting at my table who thought she was getting a great Italian experience by having carbonara, and all she ate was sticky spaghetti with scrambled eggs. As a cook, I know how to make carbonara so I did tell her to please go to another restaurant while she was in Rome to try carbonara made the right way, but that is the only negative that I can say I had on the trip. The only way to truly see Pompeii is through a guided tour. I would not recommend going there on your own because one of the gentleman that was on our bus did not pay for the tour only for the ride, and he was very disappointed because he was left on his own and he got lost and he really didn’t have a very good experience so please make sure when you choose this trip that You choose the tour the lunch and also to be picked up at your hotel. We were picked up at our hotel, and it made it much easier

Deborah_G

Our favorite part was walking the very same roads as the ancient Pompeii people. Seeing the homes. Very easy pick-up from nearby hotel. Extremely nice and knowledgeable guides. Lunch was very nice. Easy entrance into the park.

Carolyn_Z

We had wonderful guides Gabriel and Julianna for the bus and ruins tour. Everything was explained clearly and well planned. I wish the tour was a bit more interactive and there was time to ask some questions.
