Brilliant Guide

This tour was fantastic. It was noon and so hot and Francesca went out of her way to be kind, and understanding. Simultaneously, she was an excellent source of knowledge, both historically and culturally on Pompeii. Super lovely person. Funny and bright. The tour lasted a little over two hours, with breaks for water and time for photos. Highly recommend. Very well organised and great communication from the company

Great Pompeii visit

Fun and educational tour around Pompeii. We saw public and private spaces. Definitely do the MORNING tour if you’re visiting June through September— you’ll thank me for the abundance of shade to escape the sun. Our guide Frankie was particularly great.

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!
