Rome: Pompeii Day Trip Guided Tour with New Excavation Areas

Alessandro was the best tour guide ever! He explained everything (EVERY SECOND) interessting, he had humour and he spoke like a native speaker. Every minute was amazing. Pompeji is incredible. Before we started in Pompeji, the tour had an unforeseeable problem, the communication there could have been better, but the company solved everything and we were able to experience everything like promised. We can warmly recommend to make this trip!

Amazing! Even in the extreme heat! Antonio was an amazing guide and I would recommend a guide as i wouldn't have a clue what I was looking at or what direction to take. He pointed out hidden signs that the locals at the time would have understood but lost to us today (enter the red light district!) Amazing just amazing! I would happily go again and it was such good value from Rome to Pompeii in an air con bus clean and comfortable

Es war ein von vorne bis hinten super organisierter Ausflug. Alles ging reibungslos und vor Ort in Pompeji hatten wir einen super netten Guide (Antonio), der sehr kurzweilig und interessant erzählt hat (teilweise war die Technik der Mikros etwas wackelig) und die Bedürfnisse bzw. das Tempo der Gruppe immer gut im Blick hatte. Ich war beeindruckt von der Größe des Areals und zuerst etwas "enttäuscht", als Antonio und den Bereich auf der Karte gezeigt hat, den wir uns angucken würden. Das war nur ein kleiner Teil (Basic). Aber letztlich haben wir ein e wunderbare Tour gehabt und konnten - wer wollte - die 3. Stunde vor Ort noch zur freien Erkundung nutzen. Das grenzte zwar auch den 'Spielraum' ein, war aber super! Wir waren insgesamt nachhaltig beeindruckt und sind mit diesem Ausflug voll auf unsere Kosten gekommen!!! sehr gerne wieder, dann aber vielleicht besser im Herbst, wenn es nicht mehr ganz so heiß ist und dann mit einer ausführlicheren Tour. 🙂

Fomos bem dirigidos pelo motorista até Pompeia onde o nosso guia nos encontrou. Ficaram muitos locais que o guia não nos mostrou e outros guias estavam a levar seus participantes. A viagem é lindíssima, ruínas, vulcão, explicação histórica. Nossa única questão de desagrado foi termos sido levados a um restaurante por indicação do guia todos participantes foram pois havia pouco tempo para o ônibus sair. Lá foi informado que teríamos um desconto, mas na verdade só nos ofereceram uma opção de comida e não permitiram ver o cardápio, quando outros fregueses tinham acesso e nós não. Em suma, foi um bom passeio com custo benefício, só fica a dica para não irem em restaurantes por indicação. Levem água, sombrinha, boné… sapatos adequados.

Amazing tour! Super knowledgeable and we got to see a bit of everything. My sister and I decided to use the free hour to roam a bit more instead of going to eat pizza with the group. It was a hot day but I was so interested I hardly noticed! Do make sure to dress accordingly and bring water as you’re on the move constantly. A big big thank you to the tour guide Alessandro!

It started with the drive to Pompeii, we left on time NO GUIDE IN THE BUS!!! just the driver that was mostly on the phone (headset) drive was 3-4h we got to Pompeii around 12. We got a guide at side, he was nice and had a lot of information, but we where rush like crazy in Pompeii, we did NOT have the chance to explore on our own in Pompeii, but rushed to get pizza (we had the no pizza tour!) so in Pompeii we only had less then 2h, even though the bus was leaving at 15:15. To our surprised, NO head count, we left at 15 and some passenger where forgotten!!! So we had to turn around!! And that cost us an extra 1h of travel time!! So not good, very sad and such a shame for what was expensive and Pompeii had so much to discover
