Description

Visit the ruins of ancient Pompeii, buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and preserved almost intact for centuries. The tour will give you a glimpse of its inhabitants’ lifestyle and the astonishing number of villas, shops and public buildings that archaeologists brought back to light. Stop along the way to a local factory to learn more about the process of Cameos and Corals craft, jewels made out of corals and seashells (if time permits). During this 2-hour tour of Pompeii, you will learn about the daily life of Romans in the 1st century AD. Walk through the theater, where citizens enjoyed performances; along the ancient shopping street full of preserved bakeries and pizzerias; and, take you to see the house of the richest man in Pompeii. From there, you will get to see the traditional sites of Pompeii, including the necropolis, forum, and bath houses.

Slow tour and hard to understand

The tour was very slow because the guide, Roberto, had to translate in both English and Spanish which is not very efficient. We would walk 30ft and listen to 5 minutes of talking. We should have been able to see quite a bit more of Pompeii but this made the tour very inefficient. It was also very difficult to understand Roberto so we did not get a lot of the details. Additionally, there was an elderly gentleman with us who had difficulty walking and was short of breath. It took Roberto to the end of the tour to call for assistance. Additionally, we were on a cruise excursion and after the tour I asked our tour leader Ivana if the driver could drop us off somewhere other than the cruise terminal so we could continue exploring. She said that is fine and talk to the driver because he speaks English. We heard here say something about a tour to the driver but didn't fully understand. When we arrived back to Naples, the driver Armando insisted on giving us a tour and driving is around. We asked multiple times and he said he would circle again and take as back to cruise terminal. We used Google translate and finally got him to stop after firmly telling him to stop and let us out of the vehicle. My kids felt like we were being kidnapped and was very uncomfortable. Although I don't think there were any ill intentions, I think the communication from Ivana could have been better so the driver knew exactly what we wanted.

Easy way to see Pompeii from Naples

This was an amazing tour!!! Roberto gave us a 5 star experience. He picked us up in a luxury vehicle and drove us to and from Pompeii. When we were in Pompeii we had an audio guided tour that gave us the freedom and flexibility to explore as we wished. Definitely recommend if you want to see Pompeii from Naples!

The information specified on Viator is not reliable...

We booked the afternoon visit with entry included. They picked us up alone, and when we arrived in Pompeii, they told us that entry was not included (despite it being indicated on the voucher). Since there were fewer than 6 people, they did not provide a guided tour, which was also indicated on the voucher, but I believe they should have informed us so we could decide.

Operator response

Gracias por compartir su opinión. Lamentamos su insatisfacción. Sin embargo, las condiciones del tour están claramente especificadas en la descripción de la actividad y en el bono, incluyendo que la visita guiada está sujeta a un número mínimo de participantes. Si tenía dudas sobre los servicios incluidos, le recomendamos contactarnos antes de la excursión para poder brindarle toda la información necesaria. Saludos cordiales, Staff Napolicityvision

Pompeii

Emmanuella (very kind) speaks French very well. This is a visit with descriptions provided by an app. The cell signal varies in certain areas.

Operator response

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la visite et que vous ayez trouvé Emmanuella très gentille et professionnelle. Nous prenons également en considération votre remarque concernant l’application et la couverture réseau à Pompéi afin d’améliorer l’expérience. Nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau très bientôt !

An interesting afternoon

The assistant Aldo and driver Elio were impeccable in their service. The Audio Guide was not very useful. A human guide would have been better. There was confusion regarding pick up points. We were asked to go to a location about 30 minutes walk from our hotel. After we were picked up from there, they picked up another person from our hotel, do we needn't have walked 30 minutes!

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that Aldo and Elio provided impeccable service during your experience. Regarding the guide, as specified in the tour description, a live archaeological guide is guaranteed with a minimum of 6 participants per language; otherwise, the audio guide is provided. Guests may also freely choose their preferred pick-up point from our official list. Staff Napolicityvision

Great Pompeii and Naples Tour

Great way to see the highlights of Pompeii and Naples in half a day. Nice because small group of 7 with a excellent Tour Guide in Angela. Convenient pickup at the Naples Cruise Ship Dock. Entered Pompeii right at opening as Angela worked another excellent Tour Guide, Giulia, who walked through the site with detailed, interesting and informative facts about Pompeii. Comfortable pace. After Pompeii, a couple of hours in Naples with Angela taking us to several key area, providing interesting background information. Good way to experience a great Tour in around 5 hours and still half of your day available. Highly recommend.

Operator response

Thank you for your detailed and wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the small group experience, the organization, and the expertise of Angela and Giulia. It’s great to hear you appreciated both Pompeii and Naples at a comfortable pace. We hope to see you again soon! Staff Napolicityvision
