Wonderful Guide for Kids
Lello was a wonderful guide and kept our 6yo entertained and interested during the tour by presenting the information as part of a story. It kept us adults interested too. We learned so much about the history and life of the people who lived there before Vesuvius 79AD. Our son still remembers what Lello told him about the roads and roofs, and it was one of his favourite parts of the holiday.

Perfect Pompeii visit for the whole family
This was a wonderful tour. Our son, 8, wanted to go to Pompeii with his grandfathers - and this tour was perfect. Our guide, Clelia, had his full attention throughout, taking us on a tour that never spoke down to him or dumbed anything down but was engaging and informative for the whole family. The tour was perfectly paced, not trying to do too much, but offering an ideal balance of breadth of detail. Nate gave the tour 10/10, and we were all delighted to also have Clelia for the tour of Herculaneum. Also highly recommended.

Great time for the kids
We loved the private tour for just us four. The special attention the kids got, the quizzes and scavenger hunt really got my 6yo son involved. Our guide was knowledgeable, patient and very sweet. It was a beautiful tour and we are glad we booked it. Highly recommend.

Show
very nice, still gives a certain fear when you look at the Vesuvius and see it there so pertinently. I think a little more information and more points of support to the tourist would be nice (bathroom and bar)

A wonderful morning in Pompei!
Our guide, Roberta, was exceptional. She met us right outside the entrance, quickly got us inside and on our tour. She made a “game” of it by assigning points to us (mostly our 9-year-old) when we could answer questions. When we walked into the theater, she found a fellow tour guide who was a trained opera singer and convinced her to sing “O Solo Mio” to demonstrate the acoustics. Because of the heat, she gave us several breaks, including pointing out drinking fountains and restrooms. She was knowledgeable, charming, and funny. We had a blast! Oh, and our daughter killed it in the points competition- winning “prizes” of a pen, magnet, and candy. A wonderful way to experience Pompei!

What really made this tour was our...
<p>What really made this tour was our guide, Fiorenza. After a week in Italy, our 5 and 8 year old daughters were getting a bit tired and bored. They immediately perked up when Fiorenza told them our tour was a game where they could earn points and prizes! Fiorenza's questions were relevant, interesting, and age-appropriate for teaching and engaging the girls and the adults on the tour. And she had some really sweet prizes for them. In addition, Viator was great in accommodating a schedule change for us at the last minute so that we didn't have to tour Pompeii in the pouring rain. Easy to book, communicate with them, and prompt response.</p>
