“Amazing experience! There was a guided tour about to start when I got there so I paid an extra 10 euros for that and it was so worth it! Alfonso was amazing, the guided tour lasted just over 2 hours and then we could spend as long as we wanted there afterwards.”
Skip the lines at Pompeii, hike Vesuvius, and enjoy a vineyard lunch with wine tasting from Naples with expert multilingual guides.
“This was an excellent trip and we would highly recommend it. The pick up was very efficient and transportation in an air conditioned mini bus was very comfortable. Our driver Antonio from WorldTours took great care to ensure our comfort even opening the roof of the bus as we climbed Vesuvius so we could make the most of the views along the coast and over Naples. Lello was an amusing and informative guide during our morning in Pompeii and clearly had passion for his work. Lunch and wine tasting in the vineyard was an excellent stop off to recharge before we climbed Vesuvius in the afternoon. It is slightly challenging…”
2-hour Pompeii archaeologist tour with skip-the-line entry, headset, and key sights like the Forum, baths, theater, and frescoes.
“The best part of the tour was having Valentina as our guide. We learned so much with her, she was patient, explained everything with grace and she just made our experience and unforgettable one. We really enjoyed it and learned so much about Pompeii. I would definetely recommend this tour and, most importantly, Valentina as a tour guide.”

Skip-the-line Pompeii guided walk with an expert archaeologist guide. Priority entry, key civic sights, and smart routing in 2–3 hours.
“Our guide Francesco (Frankie) was outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgeable, humorous and his English was great. There was no question he couldn’t answer. He was a true asset and he made the history of Pompeii come alive. Also, he knew exactly which paths to take to avoid the crowds and maximize our exposure to some of the most special sights. We spent 3 more hours after Frankie left us taking in this most amazing place. Definitely a high point of our vacation!”
Comfortable bus from Pompeii to Vesuvius with National Park entry, 1000-m parking, and crater access in about 3 hours.
“Having seen a few negative reviews for other companies I was a bit nervous about booking a Vesuvius trip. I needn't have worried. We arrived 30 minutes early for our slot and they actually managed to squeeze us on to the earlier trip. The buses were air conditioned, clean and got us to Vesuvius in about 40 minutes. We had 1.5 hours to go up, enjoy the views, have a drink and walk down. The buses arrived back exactly on time and took us back. Overall, I was very happy with our experience and would recommend.”
3-hour, archaeologist-led Pompeii tour with small-group access to the Villa of the Mysteries frescoes, plus Pompeii Plus entry.
“Tour was fantastic, Teresa was an amazing guide! She works on projects at Pompeii so it was extra great to see what future plans are and a little extra info on what she had just done. Make sure you leave some time for yourself to do some extra locations because Pompeii is bigger than a three hour tour.”
A 2-hour French walking tour of Pompeii with skip-the-line tickets, guided stories of Vesuvius, and time to explore on your own afterward.
“Visite très instructive avec notre guide Anna qui a été parfaite durant toute la visite. Pompéi est un lieu fantastique et le visiter en premier lieu avec un guide est vraiment conseillé. La visite guidée ne durant que 2h, cela laisse largement assez de temps ensuite pour déambuler dans la ville. Mon seul regret est de ne pas pouvoir choisir le type de billet compris dans la visite car celui-ci inclu (Pompéi Express) ne permet pas de visiter certaines maisons autours de la ville :)”
Pompeii ruins plus Sorrento lemons and Positano cliffs on an 8-hour Naples/Salerno day trip, with limoncello and pickup.
“We had an amazing tour! Luigi, our guide, and Alfred, our driver, were awesome. Luigi is very knowledgeable about this area and gave us important information during our drive, such as legends, myths, and history. We learned a lot during this tour and had so much fun! Amalfi coast is beautiful and Sorrento even more beautiful. We had a great meal in Sorrento which Luigi suggested. Pompeii was crowded but still worth seeing. This is the best tour we’ve taken in quite awhile. Thank you Luigi and Alfredo for a great experience we’ll never forget.”
