“really interesting. loved every minute! we found the audio abit confusing to use at first. sometimes didn't seem to tally with what we were looking at. the petrified bodies were at the furthest part of the site. would have been nice to have description boards at each building. but overall definitely worth a visit”

“Excellent. We had Astrid who is amazing. It was the Italian tour! (Couldn't get the English tour) With 9 English and Americans, 2 Malaysians, 2 Spanish and 3 Italians. Astrid made it work for everyone. She's lovely and inclusive. Made actors out of some of us to "imagine" the times. Very knowledgeable. Very entertaining. And the Colosseum. Wow! Went there 30 years ago, before it was developed and just free to wander around. I was impressed then. Certainly more impressed now with what they've done and having such a knowledgeable guide.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 714 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $97

Pompeii from Sorrento in four hours, with hotel pickup, an expert guide, major ruins, and a practical look at the tour’s timing and value.

“We were picked up from our hotel as planned. It then took several hours to pick the rest of the tour up with the driver going wrong and the bus then had to go retrace its steps to pick up some other passengers. We therefore arrived at Pompeii late and barely had time to visit the bathroom. The tour was excellent and I would highly recommend a guide to fully understand how people lived. The tour lasted 2 hours and we barely scratched the surface. It would have been nice to have further free time to explore the site on our own as when the tour was finished we had…”

“This is the only tour of Pompeii you should book. Our guide Carmine was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, made the experience so memorable. We highly recommend booking the private tour vs the group tour as you get so much more information and detail about the ruins as well as the history. The communication was excellent the entire way from start to finish. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to do a private tour at a reasonable price.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 581 reviews · 1 day · from $21Best value

Explore remarkably preserved Herculaneum with a one-day entry ticket and optional audio guide, from frescoed homes to ancient baths.

“Audioguide gives very interesting informations. You will discover a new interesting thing in each house of the city if you like to observe architecture or habits of ancient life. 3 hours is great to see it all. In summer it's very hot but you'll find shade in the houses or under roofs in the town's streets. I was quite by myself. Appreciated it. My own time to observe, look around. I bought a book in Italian to read the story of Ercolano back home. Very nice time, so interesting. You have to go (or Pompei). Smaller than Pompei. Easy to see it all, probably less people, same pattern about the…”

The guide (totally forgot to get his name) walked us through many places and fully explained everything we were looking at. It was a fantastic experience and he made the (more than) two hour tour a delight.”
