The easiest-to-handle tour because it gives most of the site’s impressions in just two hours.
If you are in Naples area and you still have some time left before you leave, a visit in Pompeii can be your best choice.

During this tour you will be guided through the maze of streets and buildings which were destroyed overnight by the huge 79 AD eruption and covered by a thick layer of ashes and pumices until their excavations in modern times.

The guide will show you the best highlights like the Forum – the main square of the city – the main houses and buildings. You’ll also stop and see the plaster casts – the dead bodies of the Pompeiians emerged by the excavations.

Antonella was our guide and she is great. So knowledgeable of Pompeii and the surrounding areas. Seeing Pompeii with an individual tour is a great way to go. Was able to ask questions and I love how she makes you think like an archeologist.

Even though some things about life in Pompei is conjecture, Paolo made the experience and life in their time very understandable. My only regret was we only had 2 hr tour and then another 1 hr on our own which was not enough time as the site is so enormous. Probably would suggest a minimum of 4hrs.

My husband and I LOVED our tour with Mena! She’s spent her life studying Pompeii and had so many fascinating facts to pack into our two hour tour. She brought the city to life, I wish we could have had her with us the whole day! But she did a fabulous job taking us around to some of the most important points of interest and then giving us advice on what to check out with the rest of our time. And not to mention directions, since, again, Pompeii is a city! She even took us to one of the newly uncovered villas which was amazing to see with its colors still so vibrant. Also we had an issue with the trains delaying our arrival, but Mena was very understanding and still gave us a full two hours even though we arrived late. Pompeii is such a massive site, I would recommend hiring a guide to anyone to get the most out of your time there.

We were worried that the rain would interfere with our tour but it did not impact it in the least. In fact, the weather actually added to our sense of the place. Our guide was upbeat, extremely knowledgable, professional and personable. While a private tour was pricey for 2 people it was totally worth it focused on the history, events and areas that were most interesting to us. We learned an amazing amount and had fun!

Sara is a very knowledgeable guide.
Only being in Pompei for half of the day, it was a great way to see the highlights and learn as much in this limited time.

Our tour guide Julia was fabulous! She was a plethora of knowledge and so passionate about history! We appreciated hearing about the strong successful business women from the Roman era. Julia was able to not only answer our questions, in addition she made it such a fun experience with her modern day analogies.
Honestly my best friend and I love historical structures. We felt so blessed to have experienced the beauty of Pompei. We especially appreciated the original font, paintings and beautiful marble on the buildings. It was incredible to be able to see the views that the Roman's did many years ago, especiallyof Mount Vesuvius. Throughout our whole tour we felt like we were walking back in time. Thank you, Julia for a job well done, we hope we get to tour with you again!
