Pompeii Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

The tour was great. Mariagrazia was great. Made what we were seeing relevant. It was hot, she tried to keep us in the shade and away from the masses as much as possible. Thoroughly enjoyed.

We had an excellent tour with Mariagrazia! She is an archaeologist at Pompeii which is truly applauding and amazing. She was very knowledgeable, charming and lovely to tour with! I would recommend her to everyone! Thank you Mariagrazia

We had such a wonderful day trip today! Luca was absolutely amazing, friendly, professional, and very informative throughout the whole day. He made us feel comfortable, shared lots of interesting information. We had plenty of laughs and good vibes throughout the trip. Nuff love 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Luca from Crown Tours was our driver and he was friendly, fun and very accommodating. 10/10

My wife and I visited Bosco De'Medici winery after a private tour to Pompeii. The service could not have been better. Alessandro hosted our lunch, introduced us to delicious wines, and was generous with his time as he discussed methods and specifics about the processes. We were even in a hurry to get the whole lunch covered in just over 1 hour and they met our needs. Truly, it made the day magical to have visited and really absorbed not only the history, but the flavors of the area.

Pompeii was our first stop on our way to Sorrento. We last minute booked a tasting at Bosco de Medici and were completely blown away from the minute we walked through the main entrance. The smell of the wine in the barrels, the clean aesthetic, the hospitality, everything was immaculate. You sit underneath the grapes and enjoy the freshest lunch paired with their brilliant wines. Our server Alessandro was the icing on the cake. He was so knowledgeable and explained everything so thoroughly from where the grapes were grown and how long each wine was fermented either in the barrels to the bottle as well as how it paired with the food we were served. A 10/10 experience, I would highly recommend to any person visiting.

A very impressive, huge area; allow plenty of time and wear good footwear.

My wife and I visited Pompei (her first my second) with our amazing guide Luca. He was so knowledgeable and made the experience so much richer than trying to do it ourselves or as part of a bigger group. He had an encyclopedic knowledge but also a way of bringing the history to life. Highly recommend!!!!!!!’ And we tagged on the winery visit too, on the slopes of Vesuvius, with local wines and a delicious lunch. One of the top highlights of our Italy trip.

Our family (6 adults) had a wonderful day tour of the Amalfi Coast with "Taxi Mister Cab Driver. Giovanni, our English-speaking driver, picked us up at our B&B in a beautiful, immaculately clean van. Giovanni is very friendly and wanted us to have a perfect experience, asking us about our preferences for music, temperature, and itinerary. (Because a wildfire had closed the road between Positano and Amalfi, we chose to spend more time in Positano and Sorrento, which worked out great for extra time in those two places.) The views along the coast were spectacular and Giovanni stopped in several safe spots so we could take photos. We asked for a restaurant recommendation in Sorrento and he called to make reservation so we wasted no time looking. The food was fast and excellent. On the way back to Naples, he played Napolitano songs and we talked about Napolitano culture, food, and family. Indeed, by the time he dropped us off at our B&B, we felt like old friends. We were 100% satisfied with Taxi Mister Cab Driver and recommend their service.

We had the very best experience with Paolo as our guide! He guided us through the best places around the amalfi coast, Sorrento, Positano, and Pompeii. The latter was not on our schedule but he treated us which was very special. He took us to the best places to eat and shop. His vast knowledge of each place were visited was extraordinary!

Definitely worth going up Vesusius as the views from the top across the surrounding countryside and into the crater are spectacular. The coach takes you most of the way up but there is still a good 45 minute to an hour, perhaps more, depending on you fitness, walk up from the car park. The path is pretty steep for most of the way and can be slippery. So take good shoes! Pompeii ruins are amazing and cover a very large area. So probably not realistic or necessary to try to see it all. This tour provided you with an audio guide. That was OK. However, if I was going it is again I would pay to have an actual guide. We did this at Herculaneum and it worked better for us.

We booked our Pompeii entry tickets through Dream Fly Tourism LLC, and honestly, it made things really easy for us. The booking was simple, and we didn’t have to worry about figuring everything out at the last minute. Once we arrived, we could just focus on exploring Pompeii and taking in the history. Really happy with the service from Dream Fly Tourism LLC and would use them again.

We had an amazing tour with Lello with was engaging and charming. He was so incredibly knowledgeable and interesting to listen to, we really felt that we had VIP treatment Thank you Lello From Laura and Spike

Wonderful tour! Italo was a fantastic tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and helped you understand what is was like back in the day. Two hours was a perfect amount of time for the tour.

One of the highlights of my trip. I was really impressed with Pompeii in general. My husband and I weren’t fans of the app for the audio tour since it over heated our phones and wasn’t picking up which section we were in. Besides that, it was nice to look around at our own pace.Word of caution- If you go during summer, be sure to book your tour earlier in the day before the heat becomes a problem. There’s hardly any shade and it gets HOT.

We did the 2 hour guided tour with Annalisa. It was great value for money at €44 for two people. It was a decent sized group, but not so large you couldn't see the different areas of the tour. Annalisa was great fun, creating a comfortable atmosphere and giving the group a good laugh throughout the tour.
