Traveler Tips

Just be aware that in August with the traffic, it took us about 2 hours to get back to the ship, probably double the time it might take other times of the year.

Perfect Day

Jeffrey_S, Aug 2022

We had an excellent driver, Fabio, who was so pleasant and informative and made sure we got to Pompeii and to our guide. Our guide at Pompeii, Iliana was exceptional. It was so hot but she made sure we saw as much as possible was very educated and engaging. We love Pompeii.

Awesome tour and guide.

Learning the history of Pompeii and daily life there was incredible. Our private tour guide was the perfect way to get experience Pompeii.

Great tour guide

Franco was an experienced tour guide of Pompeii. He chose the most interesting spots that painted a picture of life in Pompeii. He also managed to keep us in the shade as much as possible. Overall, it was a very comfortable, interesting tour!

Excellent tour guide, bad driver

Tania L, Sep 2019

We take the tour and arrangue that pick us at 9am at our hotel at 8:45am the hotel manager was looking for us at the breakfast lounge because he said the driver was in a hurry, i talked to the driver and explain still not the time we arrange and he doesnt like it, because of the traffic arrive to pompeya from sorrenro take us 1:15, there is no problem to us, the guide tour was amazing, really good he take a little more than 2 hour, qhen we finish we want a little time to buy souvenirs and the tour huy said its not possible because the driver has another tour and he is un a hurry, this is not posssible, we are tourist. And part of that is buy souvenirs; we cant do it, later when we are near to sorrenro the driver pull apart is a gas station and tell us he has another tour and he cant take us to our hotel and anither driver will do it!! The tour was tainted for a bad driver, this is the end

Private Pompeii tour

Carol_B, Aug 2019

Massimo was an excellent guide. Our family commented upon his knowledge and explanations. It was August, Hot and Crowded but our guide was great at steering us away from the crowds and finding interesting areas to see along with every possible shaded spot to give us information and a place out of the sun for a few minutes. Outstanding guide. Our driver from the port was also very helpful and recommended a great restaurant on our way back. Just be aware that in August with the traffic, it took us about 2 hours to get back to the ship, probably double the time it might take other times of the year.

A perfect day! I can't imagine any...

Amy F, Oct 2017

A perfect day! I can't imagine any tour guide could have done a better job! Our driver picked us up at the ship - no problem finding him. Our guide knew everything about the history of Pompeii, from the past to the present. She was friendly and fun to be with. And, she gave us a great lunch recommendation!

Fantastic tour, excellent tour guide...
