Fantastic in-depth tour! Our guide was archeologist Andrea and he was excellent! It took a minute to get used to his Italian accent but his English was very good. He showed us the new dig as well that is underway to uncover more of the city that was buried in ash. A lot of walking on uneven surfaces so wear your most comfortable shoes. Hat or shade umbrella also recommended.
Archelogist was amazing thank you Mary - Really brought pompeii to life, we were not rushed & had opportunity to ask questions which were answered with fun and clear historical knowledge x Thank you
Excellent tour with very knowledgeable guide
Amazing experience, I would recommend. The guide was amazing and took us to see lots of great sites! After the tour finishes you can stay on to see more of the site which was also good. Well worth the money and I cannot recommend it enough as without our guide we would have been lost.
Luca was wery friendly, knowledgeable and passionate. Great tour! It was however a little shorter than advertised, but could be because the rest of our group were on a scheduled bus trip. We however were free to explore the site after and had a great experience.
The tour was a sad experience. We paid extra thinking we would have an amazing 2 hours of insight. We were wrong. Not even 1/10 of the city was seen, no amazing frescos, no tiled floors, and nothing about the casts (except the few in the exit museum). We were lucky enough that we could stay longer and see these things on our own, we left the guide about 25 minutes early when he said he was walking people back the the entrance and people could stay longer if they wanted. We had a better experience and saw more of what is shown to be the sights to see in Pompeii on our own.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sorry that the tour did not match your personal expectations, but we would like to clarify a few important points for future travelers. You booked exactly what the tour title describes: “Pompeii 2h Small-Group Tour with Expert Archaeologist” for 2 adults and 2 children. No additional amount was paid for a private, extended or upgraded experience. And importantly, the complete 2-hour experience you booked was provided. Pompeii is an enormous archaeological city. A 2-hour small-group tour is therefore intentionally designed around a carefully selected route through its principal highlights, with an expert archaeologist providing the history, context and stories that allow guests to understand the extraordinary city they are seeing. Regarding your comment that you left the guide approximately “25 minutes early,” the sightseeing itinerary had already been completed. At that point, the guide was accompanying guests back toward the entrance and explained that anyone wishing to continue exploring independently was welcome to remain inside—which is exactly what your family chose to do. And we are pleased that you did. That is actually one of the advantages of this experience: your two hours with an expert archaeologist do not have to be the end of your visit. After discovering Pompeii's principal highlights and understanding the city with a professional, you are free to remain inside and explore additional houses, frescoes, mosaics, casts and areas at your own pace. For travelers wanting a much deeper exploration of this vast archaeological site, a longer private tour is naturally available. But for families and travelers looking for a focused and engaging introduction, this experience delivers exactly what its name promises: 2 hours, a small group and an expert archaeologist. First, discover Pompeii with an expert. Then, if you wish, keep exploring this extraordinary ancient city at your own pace. Warm regards, Mondo Guide www.mondoguide.com +39 331 708 0962
Andrea was incredibly well educated and fun to experience Pompeii with! He even gave us good recommendations for food in Naples afterwards! I learned so much and the tour lived up to the hype!
This was a wonderful tour. Vincenzo was an interesting and entertaining tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip.
Excellent experience and well worth the cost.
Excellent 2 hour tour with the option to stay on afterwards to continue exploring the ruins. Very helpful and friendly guide.Reasonable admission fee.
