Pompeii Travel Guides (Updated October 2026)

Eliana was an amazing guide for us. I booked her exclusively because she was a professional archaeologist and could provide us with a private & deep dive of Pompeii, Herculaneum & the archaeology museum of Naples over 2 full days. I provided her with a detailed list of what I wanted to see at each location. She exceeded my expectations. She even arranged for our private transportation & a photographer (Federica) for the entire trip in Pompeii. I cannot recommend her & Federica enough. ♥️♥️♥️

I am a senior and had a hard time getting my tickets with tech and travel. The guy at the booth looked up my tickets by name. Huge help thank you

Josh and Venisa were fantastic! Amazing drive through Italy and super comfortable van. Stopped for some site seeing and a treat. Breakfast and lunch were fantastic and filling. Grace was an amazing guide at Pompeii, very knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend, wonderful day trip! Worth every penny.

Our guide was absolutely fantastic. Have been here twice before and still learned much more than we knew before.Would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to experience the real Pompeii.

This was an absolutely amazing experience! Eliana was very knowledgeable about Pompeii and life in the Roman empire. Me and my family had such a wonderful and informative time! One of our party members was late, and Eliana worked with us to meet her. If you have the funds to do so, I would absolutely 100% recommend booking Eliana for your tour of the archeological marvel that is Pompeii!

What an amazing day trip! Our driver, Denisa, was great. She everything clearly and shared a lot of historical information and answered all our questions. She safely transported us from Rome to Pompeii and Sorrento and back. Highly recommended experience.

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.

Very knowledgeable and engaged guide. Can be recommended for everyone interested in history.

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.

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.
