Excellent tour, it really made a huge difference having an archeological expert (had her PhD) tell you about it rather than wandering around on our own! Even though the weather was so hot, she made sure we could stop and sit in the shade when possible. Two hours was about right in that heat. Definitely recommend!
A compact, interesting tour

Worst Experience EVER.

Train broke down on the way there making us late. Rather than putting us in with the next tour group, we were simply handed tickets that cost $16 each even though we paid $150 for the tour. They would not refund us the difference, completely ruined the experience. Would never use this site again for any tours.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Dear Kenneth,
we are sorry about your bad experience, and we understand your concern.
Unfortunately, that day you had about 2 hrs delay after the tour starting time.
Sadly all other shifts were already fully booked and not able to help and reschedule.
We deliver a tour with meeting on spot and we are not responsible about transportation to reach meeting point.
As you reached the meeting point, we also gave you your entrances (paid twice by our side because of your delay) to let you enter in the ruins anyway, even if you were not entitled.
Kind regards
Wonderful way to see Pompeii

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
