Sasa is an amazing tour guide! He is of Pompeian ancestry and goes above and beyond to teach the true history and purpose of the relics (he has multiple degrees in history and his family has done this for three generations.) His English is great and he addressed our individual interests personally. He is friendly, engaging, and funny. We highly recommend booking this tour. We learned so much more than most people who visited! Pompeii is a must-see spot. If I return I will definitely book another tour with him. He did not put pressure but remember to tip any tour guide in Italy because that is customary in their culture.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and our Pompeii guide was a huge reason why. She was an archaeologist and art historian and it was very obvious she was passionate about sharing the stories of Pompeii. Even the kids were interested! ?
Mt Vesuvius was so beautiful. We hiked it alone, it was fairly short but very steep. Loose gravel makes it easy to slip so wear good shoes but totally worth it!

The tour guide at Pompei, Sasa, was excellent while the driver tried his best to keep us a good company since we were alone in the van. But overall the tour is overpriced.

Francesca, our guide, was fantastic. She was knowledgeable and passionate about all things Pompeii. Our driver from Sorrento was also engaging and accommodating. We only wished we could have done Vesuvius which was cancelled due to weather related issues.

Pompeii was absolutely beautiful. There was so much to see and our guide had a ton of information to share! She was full of knowledge. The taxi picked us right up at our hotel. Communication was easy. I fortunately, the second half was cancelled. We wished we were not as rushed considering the second half of our tour was cancelled but overall it was a pleasant experience with a positive guide.

We signed up for a private tour of Pompeii and Vesuvius with a driver from our hotel. When I signed up it said that it was up to 8 people and that we were signing up for 4. We expected to be only the 4 on the tie based on this and at worse case possibly 4 others for max of 8. Tour listed Jo waits and no lines with this experience. We had to wait 20 minutes for others to arrive and then found out there were 10 of us! Why did we spend $844 for this experience which was not as listed.

Excellent - highly recommended. Our Pompeii guide Sasa was extremely knowledgeable, kept a great pace, and led us through many parts of Pompeii sharing a solid overview and great details while avoiding much of the crowds. Ask questions! It is a fascinating snapshot of an ancient port of call. No wasted time or gift-shop breaks. We were in a group of about 14-15 with headsets so easy to hear everything. Good access to bathrooms and quick breakfast/lunch options before and after the tour. Transport to Vesuvius was excellent. We would have loved more time to explore but it’s a long day, so 75 minutes to walk to the top and back is plenty. (Volcano buffs should book a separate Vesuvius tour.) The transport was comfortable, safe, and on time was great A/C. We were in a group of 8, which was perfect. Really great!

We had a fantastic day visiting Pompeii and Vesuvius. We were picked up directly from our hotel by our driver it was a little confusing to find him as it was a busy time and there was no sign etc. we collected the rest of our small party on the way which included another couple and a family of four. We met Sasso at Pompeii who was our tour guide. He was a brilliant and engaging guide. We had 2 hours in Pompeii he took us to the peak places and a very exciting new area where archaeologists had only just uncovered a new building with frescos and mosaics. He was very passionate and excited to show us this! As we had booked to see Vesuvius straight after there was no free time to look around Pompeii, another hour would have been great so that we could see more, but we definitely got a lot out of our 2 hours there!
We then met back with our driver who took us most of the way up to Vesuvius. We then got in a taxi shuttle to the park entrance. It’s a steep walk up to the crater but worth it. There’s shops along the way to get water if you run out (like we did) and other food/drink/souvenirs. When we got back down to the entrance for the taxi/shuttle bus there were others waiting for the same service and got on it before we could, we had a set time to get back to our driver but we were quite late as a few buses came but others got on first… in the end our group had to barge our way onto the bus as other people were doing the same and we were never going to get down before the end of the day if we didn’t! We finally met our driver who had been waiting and made the journey back to Sorrento!
