Younes guiding us round Pompei what an experience!
3/08/26 Younes from Get your Guide took us round Pompeii. The tour was phenomenal and Younes was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. Younes immersed us into what life would’ve been like at the time of the explosion while telling us loads of useful facts and snippets about the volcanic explosion. Younes gave us breaks during the tour so we didn’t overheat and tried to keep us in as much shade as possible.
The overall price was 100% worth it especially as we were there for 2.5 hours while Younes showed us round the ruins and talked us through the artefacts in the museum.
I would not recommend bringing young children to Pompeii as it was incredibly hot.
Despite seeming like there was lots of people entering Pompeii it didn’t feel overcrowded or overwhelming as once you are in there everyone goes there separate ways.
The process of booking the tour was quick and straightforward and contacting Younes before our tour was a breeze.
We definitely recommend a tour with Get your guide and cannot recommend Younes highly enough. An extremely worthwhile tour with a Great Guide. Thank you for making our day.

Would do it again!
I relied on Call Your Guide for a guided tour of Pompeii and it was incredible. The guide Andrea was very well-prepared, engaging, and capable of telling the history of the site with passion. The route was well-organized and allowed us to visit the most important places, with clear explanations rich in interesting facts. Thanks to this tour, I was able to appreciate the historical value of Pompeii much more. I recommend it to anyone who wants to experience an interesting and unforgettable visit.

FANTASTIC
I participated in the Pompeii tour and had a good time. The guide was knowledgeable and explained the history of the site in a clear and interesting way. The organization was punctual and the time available was sufficient to visit the main points. Experience recommended for those who want to get to know Pompeii without having to organize everything on their own.
