This was truly a worthwhile tour. Our guide was really knowledgable and answered all of the questions we had. Such an interesting place with so much history - it definitely cannot be covered in the limited time of a tour, but with the time that we did have, I feel so glad that we booked with an expert.
Frankie was amazing, highly recommended to choose him. Very funny 😄

We had a fantastic tour of Pompei with our guide, Francesca. She really made the history come alive for us. We don’t usually book tours, but we were really glad we did in this case as the site would have been overwhelming otherwise and we wouldn’t have appreciated what we were looking at.
