The pickup was a bit chaotic as our guide was not at the specified meeting point at the agreed time. There were other representatives from Worldtours who enquired which guide group we were allocated to and she advised Italo would arrive shortly. Upon arrival we found him to be a very friendly guy. Tomas, our archaeological guide was excellent. He brought Pompei to life with his vast knowledge and humour. Be warned, there is a lot of walking on uneven ground so comfortable footwear is advised. It was very hot and not much shade so bring plenty of water. On the return coach journey, I asked Italo if water was available (the info provided said it was available on request) but there wasn’t any. We were relieved to be in an air conditioned coach. Overall a great day!
Tomaso was a great knowledgeable guide, added humour, was considerate of us being in the heat. Would have loved more free time to wander inside the museum to see and understand some of the found artefacts.
Half day tour booked with world tours on an extremely hot day. Our Pompeii guide Tomas was very good and gave us a whistle-stop tour of the important bits. Makes us want to visit again when we have more time.Tomas never stopped talking and gave lots of interesting information the whole way through.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review! We are so glad that despite the extremely hot day, you had a wonderful experience exploring Pompeii with us. Navigating ancient ruins in the summer heat is no small feat, so it is fantastic to hear that Tomas kept the energy high, never stopped sharing his wealth of information, and delivered an engaging "whistle-stop" tour of the most important highlights. Thank you for choosing WorldTours, and we look forward to welcoming you back when you have more time to dive even deeper into history!
I really enjoyed my tour of Pompeii with Thomas! He was incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the ancient city to life with fascinating stories and insights. Even better, he managed to make 2,000-year-old ruins genuinely entertaining with his quick wit and great sense of humour. Somehow he made learning about volcanic destruction more fun than some of my holidays. If you're visiting Pompeii, I highly recommend touring with Thomas - you'll leave smarter, smiling, and probably wishing history class had been this entertaining.
What an absolutely brilliant review! Reading that Thomas managed to make learning about volcanic destruction more fun than some of your actual holidays is the ultimate praise for a historical guide. Bringing 2,000-year-old ruins to life is no easy task, but Thomas truly has a gift for blending deep historical knowledge with quick wit and infectious humor. We completely agree—if history classes had been this entertaining, we’d probably all be historians! We will make sure Thomas receives a copy of your wonderful feedback. He will be absolutely thrilled to know he left you both smarter and smiling. Thank you so much for choosing WorldTours, and we hope to welcome you back for another fun, historical adventure in the future!
Funny and gives great explanation on how Pompeii once was how the people were what their jobs, status, etc. I also liked how he puts his little jokes at the right moments and lights up the mood. I had a lot of fun with him and learned a lot about Pompeii and will save this momment for my life.
