Pompeii Ruins Archeological Tour with Lunch

Excellent experience! Highly recommend. Reliable, professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and safe driving. Our driver, Yuri, met us at the train station with a sign with our name. He was early, which we appreciated! He met us with a friendly smile and showed us where the restrooms were before we went on our way. The van was spacious and clean and had cool a/c. Driving in Italy can sometimes feel like you’re in Grand Theft Auto but not with Yuri - he was a very safe driver and we felt relaxed for once with our daughter in the car. He left us with our tour guide at Pompeii, Loretta, and she was amazing. She struck the perfect balance between high level info and detail, and info appealing to adults and kids. She kept our daughter interested at every turn, and had interactive activities. She was the best! After we concluded, Yuri met us again and we’d asked him to arrange lunch for us. We were a bit short on time so he booked us a table at a great Neapolitan pizza restaurant not far from the train station in Naples. It was the best pizza we have ever had, no exaggeration. My only criticism is the day went too fast ha! Don’t hesitate to book.

An exceptionally knowledgeable and engaged guide over the course of four magnificent hours - thank you Lello! Beyond the fine weather and moderate crowd, which were bonuses, Lello, a professional archaeologist and native of modern Pompeii, guided us through the intelligent layout and myriad deftly designed functions of a bustling mercantile ancient city, with many frills to offer the itinerant visitor, then as now. Fleshing out his narrative with vivid, often tucked-away details, Pompeii and its people came alive to us, as if walking and working and enjoying themselves alongside. We could not have been given a better or more valuable experience. If anything, we are keen to return. Our heartfelt thanks for a wondrous, most edifying and enjoyable tour!
