Take a private tour of the famous ruins of Pompeii on this half-day trip from Naples. Italy's most famous archaeological site, Pompeii is an excavated city full of fascinating and haunting remnants of daily Roman life before the sudden eruption of Mt Vesuvius in the 1st century. Your private guide will illustrate Pompeii’s tragic fate through captivating stories, facts and anecdotes while taking you to the House of Vetti, the Lupanare brothel, the thermal baths and more. You can choose to have a private guide to show you around Pompeii or you can opt for the transport-only option, allowing you to explore Pompeii on your own while still enjoying round-trip private transport from Naples.

Our guide was fantastic! 5 stars to her!! We were given a meeting point but our driver was given a different meeting point. I couldn’t get the tour operator on the phone but Viator was able to contact them & have the driver sent to our location. This cost us about an hour in Pompeii which was disappointing.

Non-plussed...not worth the money. While Pompeii itself was interesting, our guide was completely disinterested and not engaging. We paid $450 for two adults and a 12 year old to be picked up in Naples and given a private tour. The tour company was non-communicative after some initial emails. They told us to contact them the evening prior to the tour, but did not respond through Viator or through WhatsApp. Thankfully we had a local sim card and were able to call them to arrange a meet up in Naples.
The driver picked us up at the meeting point on the sidewalk,we asked for his name during the call the night prior,had we not known his name, we probably would have taken quite a while to find him. He spoke no English and we speak no Italian.
When we arrived in Pompeii, the guide met us at the vehicle. She did not introduce herself until I introduced us, she was actually walking away and I wasn't sure if she was the guide or some kind of coordinator. She was very knowledgeable but seemed to not want to be there. She delivered her facts in a non stop, monotone delivery; neither exciting, nor interactive. My son was not feeling well so we used that as an excuse to cut the tour short and cut our losses.
I definitely would not recommend this tour, in hindsight we probably could have hired a car for $100 and gotten a guide on site. I don't like to be negative, but this was a loser. We have toured in Kenya, Vietnam, Indonesia, UK, Bangkok, Siem Reap, Jordan, Turkey, Bahrain, Rome and many other spots. We usually book a private tour so we can really engage with the guide, by the end of other tours, we feel like we have made a friend...sometimes even family! This was not one of those times.

The tour was as described and pictures in listing were totally accurate. Actually the tour seemed rushed and we finished much quicker than what was anticipated. The guide was helpful and good communicator about the history and the points of interest. The views and attractions were outstanding. Overall a good tour - with no issues at all. Transportation to/from Naples train station was perfect. It just seemed a little short on expected length of time at the site.

Driver was great. Please note, nothing but transportation is included. Very expensive to take a glorified taxi to the site. Site was nice but not having a guide was a drawback. Pay the extra money for a guide.

they let us wait for 45 minutes before the 2 hour tour started and another 45 minutes after it ended.
waist of F time.
the tour inside itself was ok, the guide was kind of lazy.

I truly enjoyed our half-day trip to Pompeii. This particular tour through Project Napoli Service worked very well for my family because they were able to pick us up close to our rented villa and bring us back to that location. To clarify, our villa was on a pedestrian only street so we did have to arrange to meet the driver at the corner of our street. Our driver was Jean Franc. He was pleasant and helped us meet up with our tour guide. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very helpful as one in our party is in a wheelchair. I would recommend this tour!

I have always wanted to see Pompeii. Good weather is a blessing, so we were very fortunate. Our guide was wonderful, Lilli R.
For some reason i thought that Pompeii would be frozen in time, with people frozen in place. Due to weather and in order to
preserve, all has been sealed inside glass. The vivid fright and shock is so real. Make sure you go early so that you miss the crowds.
We paid extra for a private tour and it was worth EVERY penny.

Definitely worth it!!! Pick up was super easy and on time by the Metro in Naples. Bus ride was pleasant and our guide to Pompeii was super nice. We got to Pompeii a little early and had time for a quick coffee. The tour was very informative and interesting, our tour guide was very sweet, she loved that my husband is originally from Naples. We booked through Viator which was an easy process.

Absolute "rip off" you promote pick up and your own guide ( both of which were excellent) pay big sum of money for this, then when you get to meet your guide she tells you that you can't go into Pompeii until you all pay another 14 euros each
BE WARNED entrance is EXTRA yes ON TOP of what you pay !!!
