Excellent guide, who provided a good overview of the history of Pompeii and the ruins we explored. We spend only 2 hours on the tour (at our request we kept it short, as we were worried that our teenage son would lose interest!) but in hindsight I think 3 hours would be a better amount of time. The company contacted me early on the morning of the tour to confirm the place to meet, and ensured that things went smoothly. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a “snapshot” of Pompeii from a guide who has the knowledge and balances this with making it an enjoyable experience.
As an aside - We arranged our own transport from central Naples. Naples Cabs offer a fixed price to Pompeii, where return fares plus 2 hours of wait time costs EUR 100. We stayed 1/2 longer, so it came to EUR 125 (return cab fare plus wait time). This is a far better option that paying for a tour that includes transport, as you can tell the cab exactly where to drop you and collect you, and it costs considerably less. Any Naples cab can offer this service, but we recommend you arrange it the day before.
