1Tour disappointing and zero customer service afterwards - avoid
Tour started an hour late, was not with an archaeologist as booked, and had to leave half way through as we had another booking. Shocking customer service, cannot find anywhere to contact to request a refund or even online chat. Will not be using Tripadvisor again
5Great tour when you do t have a lot of time
Great quick-hitting tour. 2 hrs in Pompeii is not long but still felt like we got a great history and tour. Tour office will store your luggage for $6/per piece of luggage. Office is located upstairs in the bldg next to the train station (just across from Pompeii entrance). Guide was entertaining and informational.
5Great tour guide
The ticket office is located opposite the entrance and you have to go upstairs. Our tour guide was absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend
4Pompeii, our own tour from our cruise ship
Pompeii is Awesome! Deffo worth the visit x The tkt collection booth wasn't too clearly marked but our guide was very good, friendly and knowledgeable. The heat was INTENSE But, it's such a fascinating place that the time flew by and it has left us with lots of good memories 🥰 Got the train back to the port of Naples, which was pretty easy to navigate, and then went for a fab authentic pizza 😋 A great day was had by all 🥰
5Pompeii explored in style 😊 😎
Annalisa was really informative and passionate about Pompeii and Italian history in general . I have gone a couple of times and had been lucky to get some great guides - she was just as good and I learned some more things that I was unaware of . She also has a lovely relaxed manner and sense of humour which really helps . Would recommend !!
4Our guide was very...

About Pompeii
Pompeii is a Roman town near Naples frozen in ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, with streets, villas and frescoes preserved beneath the volcano.
Pompeii was a thriving Roman town when Vesuvius buried it under ash and pumice in AD 79. Excavation, begun in the eighteenth century, has uncovered paved streets with stepping stones, shops, bakeries, bathhouses and the forum. The amphitheatre, among the oldest Roman ones to survive, and the grand House of the Faun show the range of life, and plaster casts of the dead record the final moments of some residents.
Top-ranked sights in Pompeii: Pompeii Archaeological Site, Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane), Via dell’Abbondanza.
