Review of a Rome to Pompeii day trip with an archaeologist guide, lunch, coach transport, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“This tour was a great experience. The short tour through Napoli leaves us with the desire for more of it but the Pompei tour compensates all of it. We made several friends in the bus (recommended). Our Pompei guide was Nandio and though old he managed us very well and was fun and entertaining.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 167 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $165

Review of Pompeii’s private skip-the-line tour, with expert guides, family games, key ruins, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“Our guide Natalia was amazing! She was waiting on time with our name displayed which was a great start. The tour was just right for the kids, not too long. The activities she had included a map to stick things on at the right time so the kids loved it. Natalia really brought Pompeii to life for us, giving us tips that you wouldn’t find unless you had a guide. I would recommend going as early as you can, we went at 11am and by the end it was really hot, not a problem but if I went again I would book at 9:30.”
