Itinerary
Stop At:  
Pompeii Archaeological Park
On a fateful summer's day in 79 A.D., Mt. Vesuvius erupted, spewing volcanic ash over the prosperous city of Pompeii. Unaware of the imminent danger, most people continued on with their daily lives and as a result the entire town and around 20,000 of its inhabitants were buried under tons of ash and pumice. Almost 2,000 years later, you have the opportunity to explore the site of this famous disaster and see first-hand the houses, streets and public buildings miraculously preserved by the volcanic ash. Accompanied by your guide, you'll see such fascinating places such as the Forum, Thermal Baths and Lupanare brothel.

Beware the bait and switch, stay away from PNS

If it could be negative it would be!!! Booked small group max of 12, had 52 people in tour - the description THAT DAY stated 12 people. VERY crowded and couldn’t keep up with guide so short range radio kept cutting out and missed most of the tour. Was dropped off at restaurant where we waiting another hour for the bus. After tour that was supposed to have SMALL shared can transport. The bus didn’t arrive for at least another hour. We didn’t leave Pompeii until about 2.5 hours AFTER tour was over - could have had that time on tour. Another group that started with us, on our “SMALL GROUP” tour left the tour and paid for a taxi back to cruise ship. Terrible, uncoordinated, chaos with a lying company- STAY AWAY from this company - PNS - Project Napoli Service - they are NOT trustworthy!!!

Dear customer we don't know where did you read that we offer tours for small group because it is not correct of course. We are on high season and everyday we transport these elevated numbers and waiting are quite ordinaries when you manage hundred of people at the same time. I hope you enjoyed the visit with our guide at least that it is the main purpose of the tour in the end. My best regards.

Chaotic but got the job done
Nancy_S
, Apr 2022
We had limited time for a shore excursion on a cruise that stopped in Naples and had hoped to book an excursion to Pompeii with a small group, but sadly they were sold out. So we booked with a larger group and it happened to be the Thursday before Easter. Glad we found a way to Pompeii but what chaos! At least 4 language groups were herded down there on the same bus then split up among different guides by language once we arrived. Given that it was a holiday and many travelers were out and about, the experience was one of massive crowds. Our English-speaking tour guide had a group of about 30. She was good and managed well given the group size and crowds. Once we were to leave we were gain divided into those who went on to Mt Vesuvius and those who returned to Naples. There was a lot of standing around waiting and guessing where we were going and when. But it all happened. Glad we had the opportunity to see Pompeii but I would never do it again on a holiday or in a large group!

This was one of the sights high on our to do list and it didn’t disappoint. Our guide took us around the town showing us amazing buildings, road, statues, etc. The information she gave us was easy to understand and full of history. If you are spending any time in this part of the country you must visit Pompeii.

I loved that his excursion included transportation from the Naples port (we were on a cruise ship). The actual tour was roughly 2 hours, I wish it moved along a little faster so we could have seen more. Our tour guide (Francesca) was great and very informational.

Overall it was very good and our guide was knowledgeable and charismatic. Our pick up from the ship was not there when we arrived and after quite a while of stressful waiting and calling the company the mini bus finally arrived. The Pompeii ruins are awesome and definitely worth a visit;

Lots of wasted time on this tour
VisweshVV
, Nov 2019
Although Pompeii itself was a great site to visit, this tour is not one I would recommend. Our tour guide Francesca was fine but there was a lot of wasted time on this tour. After being picked up from the port and arriving at Pompeii site, we were left there for ~45 mins to visit shops. At the end of the tour we were again left at these shops for another hour. Nobody on any tour needs almost 2 hours to shop. Meanwhile the actual tour of Pompeii itself was a little rushed and we weren't given any time to explore what appeared to be an informative visitor center. It would have been better if we spent a MAXIMUM of 30 minutes at the shops and spent the remaining 1hr+ within the Pompeii site. Avoid this tour.

Pompeii Excursion of October 22, 2019

The tour was very good. Francesa is a very good guide and very knowledgeable. Be prepared to walk a lot. Initially it was hard to find her to get the tour started and we had to call to find out where to congregate. I thought it was a private tour of the 8 of us, but about 12 other people joined too.

Too much time spent waiting for the tour to begin.
PsychDoc01
, Oct 2019
As soon as the bus got to Pompeii, we were given 30 minutes to shop, eat, or personal needs. The 30 minutes was actually 45 minutes. My wife and I can not walk fast; therefore, the tour leader was often very far ahead of us. There were also some steps my wife could not get up without help. Fortunately a tour member helped her get up the steps. Only 2 times were we able to be at the location the guide was talking about. After approximately 45 minutes, we decided to leave the tour and go back to the plaza meeting spot. I got the feeling that most of the guides we were with did not really care about their guests. To conclude, more time was spent getting ready for the tour than was spent on the tour. We were disappointed.

Not the best Viator supplier
Kenneth_Y
, Sep 2019
The organization wasn’t the best, we were 2 tours (full day and half day) the full day people were rushed through the Pompeii ruins as if they were the 1/2 day tourist. Then when we ended, they gave us an hour to mill around the local tents set up to sell souvenirs. They should have given all of us the option of either seeing more of Pompeii or rushing to get to the “shopping” Most were there to see the ruins. We were on the 1/2 day tour and it was a disappointment that we could have seen much more. The guide also we infatuated with all the phallic symbols throughout. ALL she showed us were those symbols and objects. We had multiple kids 6-10 years old, it was pretty ridiculous. We also just did 2 loops when we could have seen MUCH MUCH More.

Hot time summer in the city
Jerard H
, Aug 2019
We were picked up at our cruise ship and taken to The bus terminal and rail station to pick up additional parties who are going on the tour. Upon arriving at Pompeii we were split into groups depending on which languages we spoke. Our guide was terrific and was able to communicate clearly in our language. She explained all the highlights of Pompeii. Although it said it was a half-day It was almost 7 hours. August is a brutally hot time to visit Pompeii.

Great Tour of Pompeii
Gordon_W
, Aug 2019
This half day tour of Pompeii in Naples was eye opening. The air-conditioned bus was great especially in the hot weather and the hours of walking in the heat. Our tour guide Maria spoke in English and was very knowledgeable in the history of Pompeii. We had headsets to hear her clearly as there were crowds of people from other tours at the site. My family and I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend this to everyone.

We just got off the NCL Epic & used Viator to book our Pompeii excursion. It was an amazing experience. Comfortable bus, & a GREAT tour guide, Maria! She gave us a lot of information, her English was clear to understand & I would definitely recommend seeing Pompeii if you are interested in history.

Very well spent half day in Pompeii
clifton m
, Aug 2019
The tour of Pompeii and the tour guide was absolutely wonderful. While it was very hot in Pompeii the guide did her best to keep us in the shade. Pompeii is a very large place without much protection from the weather and the surface is hard and uneven. The worst part of the tour was congregating at the cruise ship terminal waiting for the tour to begin. The taxi drivers were loud and aggressive. It was very difficult to identify which tour I was a part of.
