Traveler reviews
We opted to do the food...
We opted to do the food and wine portion for this tour. The tour itself was great. Our guide is also an architect, so he was very knowledgeable about everything. It gets very hot so make sure you bring a fan, hat, and/or umbrella to help with that. The tour was about 2 hours and although there is soooo much to see, I feel like we saw a pretty good amount of Pompeii. After the tour, we were taken to the rooftop of a restaurant where we were served wine, cheese, meat, olives, and bread. We also got a really cool view of the city of Pompeii from the rooftop, which we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise.

Roxanne was an exceptional tour guide. She was friendly, witty and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her.
Pompeii with Tasting
Great tour of the highlights of Pompeii! You will enter through the gates closest to the ocean, see the market stores, houses with beautiful frescos. Would highly recommend doing the tasting after!
Could have been good but missed the mark.
Our tour guide stopped and talked way too long at each building and repeated similar facts multiple times. The first 15 minutes were spent handing out headsets and making them work when everyone was at the meeting point 15 minutes before tour started so no reason headsets weren’t given out when we first checked in. Wasting 15 minutes on a two hour tour isn’t ok. After 45 minutes of the tour and hardly seeing anything, my group split from the tour so we could maximize what little we had. Maybe our guide wasn’t as good as others but I wouldn’t recommend due to the issues we had. You would be better off just renting an audio guide. Pompeii is huge and the guide should have been walking and explaining things at the same not, not standing in one building and talking for 5-10 minutes. 45 minutes in we had seen 4-5 buildings was all
Unreal tour. Great tour...
Unreal tour. Great tour guide and it was so much better than we thought. We learnt so much! Don’t recommend middle of the day as it was super hot (we booked 1pm) but regardless, 10/10 tour and experience!
