Journey to Pompeii
October 31, 2023
I so enjoyed this excursion, it was the highlight of my European vacation. We were in a smaller bus, so smaller group and the guide on the bus was excellent giving us information as we went to Pompeii. The bus was not far from the entrance and we were connected with our guide who was an architect in Naples. What an experience! You have to be able to walk over uneven ground, but well worth it. Take along your own water. Would have liked a few minutes to check out the stalls but c'est la vie! I didn't need to bring back souvenirs, I brought back my memories!

Pompeii - Don't visit on a holiday
October 31, 2023
Overall it was a good excursion, but just VERY busy and overcrowded this day. After we were done, we found out it was a holiday and alot of people were off, and apparently decided to go to the Pompeii ruins.... took away from the experience, but I can't blame that on the company. Just dumb luck.

The guide was knowledgeable and easy to understand. He used the radios so everyone could clear hear what he was saying which was a plus! All guides should use the radios in my opinion where there is large crowd in particular. I would recommend this excursion .

Fascinating Ruins!

This was very different from our previous visit to Pompeii 12 years ago. More streets were closed to foot traffic, especially most of Brothels. Although the one we saw had incredibly preserved murals of “activities”! Our guide was very informative and available to answer questions during tour. Definitely recommend going with a small group, much easier to hear guide explain points of interest and small details.

Francesca was an excellent guide who brought this ancient city back to life for us. Although very soft spoken at first, when asked to speak up she did so and then I was able to thoroughly enjoy my tour. She did a good job of trying to keep a large group together.
We had adequate time to shop for souvenirs and public washrooms were pointed out to us. Overall a very enjoyable tour!

Worth the wait
August 30, 2019
It took awhile to get going as our bus was picking up people from another ship and then came to our dock. I feel we waited too long - standing in hot, humid weather. Once we got inside Pompeii, our guide, Francesca, was very informative and took us on a efficient walking tour. I was glad we only did the half day tour.

There were 5 other cruise ships in at the same time.It appeared as if all the passengers had arrived at once, which somewhat spoiled the whole visit. You could not move for other visitors , and conflicting voices of the guides all around us made it difficult to concentrate. With so many people it was difficult to look at the place properly. I had attended a course on the city, I knew, understood the background and could recognise many of the places, buildings, and architecture. Without this prior knowledge it would have been a bit pointless. This was not the fault of the guide who was very good, knowledgeable and tried to keep us all together, an almost impossible task in this situation. It was too crowded to go into the museum, so we missed out on this. I would like to go back when it was less crowded.. Perhaps the authorities should have staggered the crowds entering to make it more pleasant for everyone.

Visit to Pompeii
August 09, 2019
We were taken to the site and had a small group with was a good start, We had a very young female guide who did a good job with the information she gave and keeping us together and moving as a group. It was hot and she did her best to provide shade when possible and answered all questions. It was crowded but we only waited a short time to move to the next site and we had a good tour.

Absolutely Fantastic Place!
May 07, 2019
You really do get a feel for life in 79AD. We saw the houses of the rich along with the brothels and everything inbetween. The site is NOT wheelchair friendly as you are constantly going up a step or 2 or down. I have a bad knee and did fine. The exit is all steps but they do have handrails. TIP: If you use the free restrooms on top, bring your own toilet paper (it was empty). I am so glad that I took this excursion. March is the perfect time (not too hot or humid) but in the summer bring LOTS of water. I bought a book about the site from one of the vendors for 12 Euros. Don't miss this one!

Our guide met us at the Cruise Terminal (outside) in Naples and we proceeded by a small bus to Pompeii. Our guide was knowledgeable and very patient. She answered all questions and kept us on schedule. We returned to our ship on time as advertised. "Francy" was delightful! I would use this service again.

Pompeii - this place us in ruins
October 30, 2018
Our guide was amazing - he could walk backwards and talk at the same time. Beautiful fall weather but still quite crowded. Visits during the summer months may be difficult to maneuver. Must be able to walk uneven pavers. 1/2 day tour was perfect for us but there is still so much history to uncover in fhis buried city.

Excellent tour to Pompeii!

Great tour. Convenient for those traveling by cruise ship. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. Pompeii was much more expansive than I had imagined and very well preserved. Our guide allowed some time for buying refreshments and souvenirs after the tour. Great way to spend a half day when visiting Naples.

The early morning tour to Pompeii with our tour guide was a very informative and interesting experience. Our professional tour guide introduced us to the beautiful region and provided interesting facts. The group was fairly large but yet our tour guide was patience and helpful. We were given headset to use and that gave us a vision of the life of Pompeii and the reality of the ruins. I truly enjoyed Pompeii.

Walking through the past
September 10, 2018
It was fascinating to walk through the remains of Pompei and to understand the extent of the civilization at the time before the catastrophe. There were so many insights into even the daily life of the citizens. The guide was excellent despite the difficulties of managing the tour with so many other people at the site.

Pompeii, Naples
July 02, 2018
This tour was our first port adventure. We had a bit of delay disembarking our cruise ship. When we got to the meeting place, the van just left. There was a total of 7 people from the same cruise ship who were left behind. Good thing there was a kind taxi driver who helped us and found a driver from same excursion company. He loaded us in his van, made some phone calls and then we were transferred to the van that would take us to Pompeii. Pompeii is a very interesting place. Culture and history is very evident in the ruins. Our tour guide is very knowledgeable. She gave us a lot of information about the place. Fun facts and tiny details. The weather was crazy that day. It was hot at first then it rained and sun came up again and rained again. But tourists didn't mind. The place was amazing. The tour entails a lot of walking so be sure to wear comfortable sturdy shoes.

We really enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. The tour did not include the entry fee to the ruins so I believe it would be better to do that in the future so the guide did not have to collect money and go to a special location to purchase tickets.

Overall tour was thorough, detailed and you get value for your money. We had a bit of difficulty understanding the tour guide sometimes because of her accent but she patiently explained herself when needed. The whole tour was 4 1/2 hrs but the actual time spent walking around the site was approximately 2 hrs. We got a good taste of what life was like during those ancient times. The weather was quite warm and the cobblestone was uneven making walking a bit tricky at times.

Really worth going
July 15, 2017
We had the best guide!! Bring umbrella for shade. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes, ground is not even in several places.
We are all connected to headphones so you don't miss a thing. The tour is about 2 full hours not including the drive to get there and wait to get hooked up. Enjoyed the Cameo store where we waited for our guide. Great demo on how they make jewellery from a seashell.
The history on Pompeii was fascinating with excellent explanation on how things were. Really worth seeing to appreciate our life even more. They give you 1 bottle of water. Make sure you bring some too.

Once off the ship, It was a bit chaotic, but we found It was easy to find our guide, you just had to look for the signs! We rode in a comfortable bus, and were even given a hat and a bottle of water. Once we arrived in Pompeii, we joined a larger group and followed the tour guide with audio sets. There was plenty of time for pictures and exploring. We really enjoyed it! Our guide, Laura was friendly and even offered help finding pizza once back in Naples.

Unique insight to yesteryear
June 02, 2016
Pompeii is one of those very unique places in the entire world. The preservation and remains of the city make it appear like everybody just got up to leave the day of destruction and never came back. And of course thats what happened. It was fascinating insight into a time that looks surprisingly like today. I would have liked to look around a bit longer, but part of the trip involved the option of driving down to Amalfi, which we chose not to do due to the curvy roads. Would definitely do this again.
