Great guide (Diego) learned a LOT!

Josefina_M

This was a great tour with Diego, VERY knowledgeable. He talks very fast though trying to cram all the information in the tour time. He was very friendly and funny, and was very kind to show everyone what else to do in the city once the tour was over. 20 people was a little too many people for me, when you go into the houses you can't really see what he is pointing out from the back. If you can afford a smaller tour great! If not, just try to stay as close to Diego as possible.

Our guide was very knowledgeable. Our group, however, was very large (over 20). I would have paid more to be in a smaller group,

Mike was a great tour guide and showed us a lot of interesting things throughout the ruins. I learned a lot about Pompeii, and enjoyed our tour a lot. The group size was too large though. A smaller group would have been better to navigate through the crowds with.

Fun and Interesting. Needs better info

LilianaPinzon_M

Our guide Diego was fun and knowledgeable, and made the visit interesting. However. We almost missed the tour because the “detailed” info about our meeting point was different that the meeting point. Thankfully we had arrived early enough and we finally arrived to the group 15 min late. And maybe because of the bad info, they were still waiting. But it added unnecessary stress to our day. That is why I don’t give a 5

Not worth it

Not worth it. Just come early and use the audio guide. Our guide spoke too fast and did not really connect with the group
