A must do tour

This is a fantastic tour to get the highlights and see some gems of the city. It would take days to take in everything but if you do the tour you learn so much. You can always stick around after and explore but because of the tour you understand so much better. Our guide was magnificent, funny and full of information.

Fun with Frankie, a good guide so ask for him!

Frankie was informative, entertaining as well as able to answer our questions. Only 6 in our group which was perfect! Small enough to hear all his comments and be able to move together. Overall it was well worth the time and cost. Would recommend both the tour (we were picked up in Sorrento) and Frankie. Our only “hiccup” was pick up location…not clear!

Frankie (our tour guide) was worth the price of admission alone and Pompeii was the cherry on top.

Frankie was an excellent tour guide. He was very informative and also quite humorous. He was able to pack in lots of history/information in a very short period of time. This was a last minute decision I made to join this tour and I am so thankful I did. Pompeii itself was also stunning. I can’t wait to come back and experience Pompeii with a longer tour. Overall this excursion was easily worth the price of admission and a large part of that was because of how entertaining Frankie was.

Amazing tour with our guide Sasa

We took a tour with Sasa and he was an absolutely amazing guide, as a third generation tour guide he really knew the details of Pompeii and was able to tailor the perfect tour for us. He also had a very friendly and jovial personality. So if you and your family are going to take this tour I highly recommend you asking for Sasa as your guide
