Traveler Tips

  • "Many uneven areas for walking so keep in mind if you have challenges with that." See review
  • "If a really good tour of Pompeii is required, based on my other experiences in Italy, the full day private tour might well be worth the extra money." See review

Tour guide was very personable, knowledgeable and entertaining. Learned quite a bit about the event and lives of those doomed people. Wish we had a few minutes to explore on our own, otherwise a great tour.

Tour lost

Pompeii is packed with visitors, many on guided group tours. It's easy to get separated from your group, which is what happened to us about half way through the tour. We did not find the group, and walked Pompeii without a guide. If you want to get the most out of a Pompeii visit, hire a private guide rather than going with a group.

Short but informative trip. If you are staying in Sorrento and don't want to do a full day tour spend a half day on this tour and still get back in time for a walk about and a nice dinner

Average tour, but worth the visit.
Jenifer_D

This was on my bucket list. Didn’t realise Pompeii was so vast! There is a fair bit of walking (even without visiting Vesuvius). We just did the tour of Pompeii and viewed Vesuvius from there. Tour was average. Guide was fun, but we didn’t have any details of how Pompeii was discovered etc. and no opportunity to ask questions. The last part of the museum where the plaster casts are was rushed through and no real information given. This may have been because we had to wait 20 minutes for some people to get on the minibus to begin with. Definitely take a drink, although there is a cafe and restaurant to purchase these.

Our guide left without us. Assistant had to track her down. There were 35+ in the group. Too many! Poor audio devices. Arrival and departure unorganized and chaotic. Other Viators I took we much better with small groups

Disappointed!
Nicola_A
, Apr 2022
We were so looking forward to seeing Pompei. I received a message the previous evening advising we would be collected from outside our hotel at 9:55am. We were waiting from 9:50 am but no coach arrived by 10:15am. I called the office only to be advised that the driver had forgotten to pick us up, much to our disappointment! The gentleman in the office was very apologetic and tried to find us another driver from Sorrento. We were offered a trip on another day but our time here was short due to attending our daughter’s wedding so we were unable to fit this trip in. Very disappointed about being forgotten. Would not book a trip in this way again or recommend.
