Pompeii Skip-the-Line Guided Tour

Excellent Guided Tour of Pompeii with an Enthusiastic Archaeologist Our family of four joined the Pompeii Skip-the-Line Guided Tour with an Archaeologist on December 11th, and it was an unforgettable experience. The tour was led by Teresa, an enthusiastic and knowledgeable archaeologist who brought Pompeii to life with her stories and insights. Walking through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, we were captivated by the history of the city that was tragically buried by a volcanic eruption yet beautifully preserved over centuries through the work of dedicated archaeologists. Teresa shared fascinating details about daily life in ancient Pompeii—offering a glimpse into the past that felt both enriching and immersive. The tour was well-paced, engaging, and truly educational. We left with a much deeper understanding of Pompeii’s history and appreciation for the preservation efforts that allow us to witness this incredible piece of history today. This is a must-do for anyone visiting the region! Highly recommended for families, history enthusiasts, and anyone curious to learn more about life before the eruption.

Alfredo was our guide and he was fabulous. Informative, fast paced, but took the time to answer questions and gaze at artifacts.

We took the guided tour with my father in July. I have nothing to say, it was great. The guide was very competent. We got to the strategic points of the site and avoided the crowds. I think our guide's name was Francesco. It was a great experience and I recommend it.

I recommend this experience. Already the wonderful place feels like we are standing with our feet in the history books we studied so much ..then very knowledgeable and entertaining guide .

We loved Pompeii. Our guide Rafa was excellent and fun; we learned a lot thanks to him in a very enjoyable way, congratulations for the job!

The place is extraordinary. Pick-up for the guided tour was easy. The meeting place was well signposted and our French-speaking guide was perfect, providing accessible insights and punctuating the tour with anecdotes and humor, with a thorough knowledge of her subject. We're delighted, and recommend opting for a guided tour to get the most out of the site. We followed our guide's advice and went to the archaeological museum the next day, which completed the visit perfectly. It's very good to do it in this way, it offers a good logic. Thank you very much.

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about Pompeii. Her english was fantastic. You could tell she had tailored it to the age ranges of the audience, she was mindful of potentially innappropriate content of the tour and advised parents accordingly. Would highly reccommend!

Went first thing in the morning, 0900. The crowds were negligible. It wasn't empty, but it was easy to take good pictures and get close to the things you wanted to see. Our guide was amazing. She managed to keep my five years old interested throughout, even to the point that he got upset his ear piece kept falling out. That my only critique, and not of this tour or the guide. The head phones provided is a single ear piece without foam or rubber to help hold it in place. It's like the original ear bud and those aren't very one-size fits all. Bring your own head phones for anyone under 12 or so.

We really enjoyed the guided tour of Pompeii, the guide was very good, a knowledgeable dreamer, we enjoyed it!

Our guide Maria Laura made our visit very enjoyable and interesting. The place is incredible and it takes several hours to get the most out of it.

Carmelo made the tour more interesting than I expected! What a joy to have a tour with such a professional. 5 starsaaaas

We were thrilled with the tour Pompei is much bigger than expected. During the tour, the most important things were expertly shown and explained. Questions were answered immediately. We can only recommend the tour.

The guide was knowledgeable and funny, maybe just a big rushy at some moments. And the weather didn't help much since it was windy and rainy.

Without a doubt we highly recommend this experience, the Spanish speaking guide was a genius, she didn't skimp on information and it was 2 hours of pure enjoyment!

Getting to know Pompeii with Jennifer has been a fantastic experience. Very professional and you can tell she loves what she does because she explains everything with passion.

We really liked the young man who led the way. Really good. On the organization maybe something could be improved

We had a mix up with the day of our visit, we thought it was a day later. They called us to let us know we were wrong. They moved our visit an hour later, they waited for us, because we were late arriving from Naples. The guide, Humberto, a Number One!!!!! He gave us the tour of Pompeii, totally great. We learned a lot, super nice and friendly, and very informative and knowledgeable about the city. We loved Pompeii. We thank you !!!!!!!

Bit confusing understanding where to get the tickets finding out the ticket office and meeting point was upstairs. Maybe for improvement a better sign saying pre-booked tickets and tour meeting point upstairs? We also had to start the tour with a walk to another place to get our headphones, that ended up not working anyway and wasting time during the tour doing this. Maybe there is a way of getting the headphones when getting the tickets? It was annoying that we waited for two couples (4 people) to join in the tour lat, while it had already started and we where walking close to or inside the site. It took about 20 min from the tour. The biggest issue though was that serveral of the headphones broke down for people, around 6 people or something, including me during the tour. The guide had run out of spares and the end. Besides this - the guide was very professional, talked slow and clear and the information she delivered was great!

A grandiose site visited in perfect weather. We were lucky enough to take this tour with Francesco, a local archaeologist working on the site who speaks remarkable French. An incredible opportunity, because it transforms the experience. Thanks to Francesco for all his explanations, stories and good humor. A wonderful experience!

What made it memorable was the site of course, but more was the tour which brought the site to life. It helped to make sense of what we were looking at. I am sure going around the site without the guide would have been far less impactful
