Pompeii: Skip-the-line-Ticket with Guided Tour
Description
Transport yourself back to Roman times on a small-group guided tour of Pompeii led by an archeologist. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site for two hours with the help of your expert guide who will take you around the city preserved by volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius’ eruption in AD 79. Start by skipping the line when you enter the city at Porta Marina Superiore, one of the ancient city’s seven gates. Walk the main streets and wander around the Forum, the old heart of the city and the center of public life. From here you can see Mount Vesuvius overlooking the city. Discover constructions such as the Basilica, Thermal Baths, Temples and Great Theater of Pompeii. Even peek at plaster casts of people who were in the city at the time of the eruption. See artworks, mosaics and frescoes in various places that are well-maintained and will take you back nearly 2000 years. Highlights include the House of the Vetti and the Lupanar Brothel - see its preserved stone beds and frescoes.

Pompeii advertises ticket limits of 20,000 per day. The Viator tour we booked was listed as "Skip the Line". BUT, we stood in line for about 20 minutes with the other tour groups which already had tickets. That was just the beginning of TOO many people in TOO little space. Our guide did her best to move us along and accommodate the older, slower participants. After 1.5 hours, we finally dropped out, along with another five younger participants on the tour. The walking was difficult, too hot, and too many other people to bump into. I cannot recommend this activity for senior citizens. (We are both 74 years old.) There was also massive confusion about how to get on the bus to go back to Naples. We were told to meet at the "Meeting Place" for the bus. We did that, but there was no one there from the tour company. We finally got on the correct bus after someone got a megaphone and shouted my name!

Our guide was very knowledgeable of the site. Highlighted many areas from the frescos to the bake ovens and even the water sisters. Great explanations and answered questions.
We ended up missing the tour because we could not find the meeting point. We used the address given for it in the voucher and it was an abandoned building! We tried calling but no one picked up from the tour company.
Worst tour we had on our trip. Guide was awfull. Snapped at me for asking questions, didn’t show us anything important. Unbelievable! We toured none of the houses, we saw no frescoes. Didn’t visit the theatre or amphitheatre. He had no interesting anecdotes or stories. Basically lectured us for 1 hour about the correct Latin pronunciation of the rain water collection system. We had to walk ourselves after the tour to see anything important. Avoid this company like the plague.
Great company! Quick to answer if need to ask any questions! We are new to the city and Veronica helped us through everything, and explained everything clearly! Highly Recommend touring with them!
We had a really great time visiting this marvelous place full of history. Really interesting and detailed visit with Chiara. Moreover, we are very grateful to the very understanding staff, who did everything to make us participate to the visit, despite we arrived late due to an unexpected event. Thank you to all of them
