Pompeii tour was our one of the most interesting and memorable experiences in Italy. Our tour guide was a true professional, very knowledgable, friendly and eager to share his knowledge. Organization and duration of the tour was also ideal. Pompeii is a must see for everyone who is interested in history.

We joined a guided tour of Pompeii as part of Group B, and it was absolutely brilliant. Our guide was lovely—warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. She brought the ancient city to life with fascinating facts, stories, and insights that made the whole experience so much more meaningful.
The pace of the tour was just right, and we never felt rushed. Even with the crowds, she kept us together and made sure we didn’t miss any of the highlights. Her passion for the history of Pompeii really came through and made the visit truly memorable.
Highly recommend booking a guided tour if you’re visiting—especially if you get lucky enough to be in her group!
