Amazing perspective on a unique time in history. Our fantastic guide really helped bring to life Roman life during the period surrounding a great tragedy. The focus is very much on the city and people themselves, as opposed to the volcano. Bring lots of water if you go during the summer—hot but worth it!

Just be aware...
The tour is "ok", but just be aware that the TripAdvisor ad was misleading. For example, it says in the title "Tour in Pompeii with a Real Archeologist". This is not true. The "guide" was a young woman who basically shows you around the sites, but she was definitely not an Archeologist. Also the ad gave you the impression (I think it even said in writing) that they tour you through specific sites, one of them being House of Vetti. In reality, the guide just pointed towards the House of Vetti. On the positive side, there is value here (hence the 3 stars and not 1) because the ticket price is included and the 'guide' does show you around this enormous park. In my opinion, you are better off with someone like this versus just buying a ticket and guessing where to go (not recommended). And for those that want a real Archeologist, hire one. You will pay a more for that specific service.

Great tour guide but missed a lot of advertised sites
I enjoyed the tour and Paulo was fantastic. He was very informative and knowledgable; however, we probably only saw half of the sites the tour advertised as the itinerary for the tour. Not sure why we didn’t see all of what was advertised?

Your tickets included is for the day, after the tour you can explore by yourself as long as you like.

Tour of Pompeii
Pompeii is amazing. The preservation is incredible. Make sure to where good walking shoes and plan to extend your stay to see more key sites. I was assured that our tour included the House of Vettii but the guide said the wait was 20 mins. We went back and walked right in. So slightly disappointed that I was told one thing but not provided what was promised.

Phenomenal tour of indescribable place
Absolutely incredible tour. We were given the wrong meet-up location, but contacted the group when no one showed and they not only got us there but the tour guide waited for us to start! Teresa with Askos Tours (listed as Pompei Trip & Transfer in the app) was amazing, so knowledgeable, entertaining, and went the extra mile to ensure we got to see as much as possible and stayed late to answer our questions after the group tour was done. Having a real archeologist lead was fantastic, because she taught along the way and helped us learn how to date the things we were seeing, fit things into the context historically and culturally, and presented popular and alternate opinions on how to interpret the digs. Absolutely amazing, highly recommended!

Hot but cool!
Best part of the tour was going through the main road and finding shades spots. Alfredo was very knowledgeable about the city.

Naples and Pompeii tour
both the guide of Naples and Pompeii were very compelling. the girls who accompanied us made us live in a compelling way, step by step the situations that the population was experiencing, with engaging anecdotes. definitely to contact, if we were to return to visit something else
