    The site is very well preserved and interesting. Our tour guide was great and made the experience much better.
    The views were interesting, cool and are well preserved. The story was even more interesting! Sasà was an incredible tour guide - he explained with detail, answered all our questions, was very welcoming, patient, funny, nice, and made sure we were ok at all times. I enjoyed his passion for the site and its story the most. Would definitely recommend!

    Great experience
    We booked a tour to see Pompeii and hike Vesuvius. Unfortunately, due to the weather we could not hike Vesuvius, but they gave us a refund for that portion of the experience. Door to door pickup and drop off was included and the experience was very smooth. Due to low season in January, we were the only two people booked for the day and we basically got a private tour! Incredible experience. Sasa, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable and personable. He adjusted his tour to some of our preferences. Overall great experience!

    Great transport and tour with no hassles
    The trip was great from pick up to drop off. We received a call the evening before to say that Mount Vesuvius had been closed due to a landslide which was a little disappointing but obviously completely outside of the tour guides control and were advised we would receive a partial refund, which was a good outcome. The tour of Pompeii itself was incredible. Our tour guide (Sasa) was very knowledgeable and thorough with the detail and brought a sense of humour were appropriate and was sincere when showing the preserved bodies. He answered any questions that we had and was open to tailoring the experience for our small group. I would 100% recommend this tour again as well as Sasa.

    "Enjoy Pompeii" Guided Tour
    I booked my tour through Get You Guide. The company they use is “Enjoy Pompeii.” Anna was my guide and narrator. Anna provided a skillfully delivered narration of the origin of the city, and the horror that befell Pompeii. She did this because the waterways and landscape changed after the explosion of Vesuvius. When you first enter the city you get a feeling for the way things were before the explosion. After that, we got more into the origin of the city, city life, and traveling around in the city 2000 years ago - including the layout of the city. The thing that struck me most was how similar we are to this ancient culture. Maybe without meaning to do so, she compared and contrasted the lives of these ancients to our lives today. She was very insightful in explaining the politics of ancient life, the collaboration of church and state, and showed us where all the big decisions were made. This tour was absolutely fascinating, insightful and skillfully delivered. I highly recommend!!! Anna was an amazing narrator, you will be fortunate to have her as your guide. As a side note, you must realize the city is huge. We toured enough of the city of Pompeii to understand the way things worked and were. I believe a person could spend days trying to see it all and absorb everything the city has to offer. I'm very pleased and appreciative for what I was able to see and learn.

    Excellent tour!
    We had the good fortune of having Sasa as our tour guide for a morning tour of the Pompeii ruins. He was very knowledgeable and had a real passion for the history of the Pompeii people. Whilst you could spend hours walking through the site we had limited time and Sasa was excellent at providing a good overview and showing us the highlights. We highly recommend his services.

    Wealth of knowledge
    We were fortunate to receive a private tour with Sasa as we were the only ones booked for the day. Sasa was an absolute wealth of knowledge as he described the history behind the main attractions as well as revealing the mystery behind some of the finest details. Sasa gave us a great tour in the time allotted and if we had the opportunity to spend more time with him we would have. If we’re ever back in Naples I’ll be sure to contact Enjoy Pompeii once again. Ask for Sasa!

    Great day with Sassa.
    Great tour of Pompeii. About two hours with a lot of historical context. Sassa was fantastic. Vesuvius was also really cool. The van got us 90% of the way there and only had a 25 min hike before we could look down into the valcano. Wrapped it up with ‘lunch’ and a wine tasting. Great day all the way around.

    Great excursion to Pompeii and Vesuvius.
    We had a great experience with our tour of Pompeii and Vesuvius. Our archeological guide, Frankie, for Pompeii was exceptional, very knowledgeable and humorous as well. There was not a question he could not answer. Very worthwhile. Our driver was on time and did a great job getting us around. The views from our hike up the volcano were spectacular. Highly recommend this tour!

With over 25years of experience our guide was very knowledgeable and joyous while giving us this tour. He did not rush us through Pompeii and was very engaging and animated as we walked the myriad of streets in Pompeii. He navigated us to ALL the key areas to make us best understand the life and experiences of residents before and after the cataclysmic events follows the volcanic eruption. I would definitely take this tour again and if you can get Francesco, request him.

Our afternoon in Pompeii was the highlight of our holiday. The place is incredible but vast and I would really recommend a guide. Our guide, Francesco, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Pompeii but also brought the whole place to life giving us such a vivid picture of how the Romans lived in Pompeii. A 3 hour tour just flew by and I’m sure we will remember for years to come. Thoroughly recommend Francesco as a guide.

This was such a unique and cool experience. We were fortunate enough to get our guide Francesca all to ourselves, and she did tell us that the company that she works with tries to keep the tours on the smaller side. Usually with a maximum of 15 people per tour. This was refreshing because all of the tours groups that we saw looked massive and impersonal. Francesca was incredibly knowledgable and shared with us so much detailed information about Pompei and the people who lived there. Such a good price for the value, and such a good time. Many thanks Francesca!

Francesca was the most amazing guide. We were so lucky to have her. She guided 12 of us around Pompeii with great humour! She was a delight. Full of interesting information and an obvious passion for all things Pompeii! I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this tour. It really was fantastic and a great way to get around an enormous site.

Excellent experience. Giulia Discover was a non-trivial guide and took us on a tour of Pompeii outside the classic tourist itineraries that one can do on their own and still understand them with the information that Giulia gave us. Advise

A thoroughly enjoyable and informative tour of Pompeii. Our guide, Anna brought everything to life and was very knowledgeable. We had a group tour but there was only five of us which meant that it made the tour much more personal. We had lots of time afterwards to explore with a greater understanding of what we were viewing. Highly recommend Enjoy Pompeii and especially our guide Anna.

Sasa was a fantastic guide! You could tell he was very passionate and knew so much about Pompeii. The tour was fabulous for adults but also for kids, my 8 year old was blown away by Sasa’s stories. Highly recommend this tour!

My sister and I were both very impressed with our guide, Francesca. She knows everything about not just the history of ancient Pompeii but lots of cultural details about the time - she can answer your questions, even if you already thought you knew a lot about the subject matter. She also explained ongoing research and recovery projects because this company works with actual archaeologists. Worth every cent.

My husband and I went on this tour with our two friends as part of our day trip from Rome. Our tour guide was Sasa and he made this experience so enjoyable and educational. We learned so much about Pompeii and left the historical site with a new understanding of its history. We all highly recommend this tour and specifically Sasa!
