“It was a amazing! So special to be in a site that I have wanted to visit for 30 years. The guide was great, she showed us some really interesting areas and explained what we were looking at on the way. Prior to the tour, we had mixed up our days, and the company sorted it out without a hitch, even telling us which trains to catch (Napoli trains are a nightmare!!)”

“Eraldo (don't think I've spelt that right, sorry) was an excellent guide. He made the whole visit informative and interesting. We joined an earlier group, as arrived ahead of schedule, which suited us. With a 14 year old in tow, we'd opted for the two hour slot, as felt that would be plenty long enough for the whole family. Eraldo sensibly directed us to shaded areas, where possible, in the extreme heat. The audio equipment worked really well and you could easily hear everything he said. Our group numbered 20+ people, but didn't feel overly crowded. Pompeii is a vast site and we were given the option to explore on…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 2,247 reviews · 13 hours (approx.)

Review of the Rome to Pompeii day trip, with an archaeologist guide, coach transport, lunch, UNESCO ruins, and practical advice.

“While I'm glad we did the tour, it was confusing that the bus guide was expected to say everything in 2 languages even though we were told it was an English speaking tour. The older gentleman who led the actual Pompeii tour was great even in the intense heat. Tight squeeze going back to Rome as we picked up additional passengers. VERY long day.”

“This tour felt very rushed, I love the headphones so we can hear the guide but he was so fast we lost connection many times. Lunch at the mall killed the vibe of being in an amazing archeological site and was poor to say the least, would recommend staying in the Pompeii are for food or extra time to explore, suggest packing picnic lunch. This could have been an amazing experience but sadly fell short of capturing the historical magic.”

“Our tour guy was wonderful. It was a very, very hot day, and she made sure to find shaded areas for us to stand while she explained things. She was also considerate of the other groups and not standing in front of things to explain them, but off to the side, so others could see the exhibits. She was very knowledgeable and kind and I would take a tour with her anytime.”

“I highly recommend anyone visiting Pompeii to buy this ticket specifically, just for the app audio guide. The guide is so useful, I can’t stress enough how good it was to have your live location on the app. It made navigating the site super easy. We saw so many people struggling with paper maps, not knowing where they were (the site is so big) but the map on the audio guide places your live location so you always know exactly where you are. The little audio snippets for all the specific locations were very informative as well, giving just enough information so you knew what you were looking at. Overall,…”
