Boek je dagtocht naar Pompeï

You are brought to the sites that have significance, and save much time and walking. The ability to interact with/ask questions of someone who is knowledgeable is much better than an audio guide.

Our guide, Julia, was fantastic. She was extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic and added a light humorous touch so that we learnt loads without realising it.

Definitely the guided tour we did tours of other places in Rome etc and the guided tours are always better

Excellent knowledgable guide rather than trying to find information ourselves was ideal. Earpiece listening to guide much better than trying to be close to hear all information.

Much better to have a guide. The site is very big and you need to have someone who can be concise and bring all the important elements of the site together. And you can ask questions!!!

You get a lot of details, a lot of history that you dont get otherwise. There are not a lot of signs inside so you have to have some sort of guide.

Yes, we felt that entry to the site was prompt and the information we were given form the guide gave a great idea of what life was like in Pompeii, also the explination of the frescos and different buildings gave us a great insight to how the town worked.

You get the story associated with the location without having to read through it real time (and tidbits that are not in the books) & your group access some of the sites easier than individuals.

There is so much to see, you really need an expert to take you around to the highlights and to answer questions.

If we had just bought entry tickets to the site, we would have missed so much and been wandering around blind. Plus an audioguide isn't able to answer questions or direct you to other areas of interest once the tour has finished!!

I would definitely recommend a guided tour! It's too large of a site with too much info to do on your own.

Because if you get a guide like Ms Sorrento, you will learn so much! From day to day running of Pompeii, to teeth whitening to Sailors - she knows a lot!

The information given to us and the important oarts of the site would not gave been as easy to come by without a guide

Yes - a guided tour takes in some of the highlights- Pompeii is so big that otherwise it would be hard to know what to look at in one day

It was the left hand side of Pompei that we saw. We visited the other side on our own but with guide is much better to get all the information and to be able to ask questions

A guide can tailor the experience to your knowledge level, and they know some brilliant stories which, for me, made the experience far more relevant and engaging.

Guided tour is much better as you can ask questions of the archaeologist during your tour. and they give you lots of tidbits of information you would not otherwise get

I would only recomend a tour guide because having some to explain what you are seeeing is important in the value of your visit.

It is much better to have a guide point out and explain what you are looking at rather than an audio guide. You can also ask a guide clarification questions and get more of a story rather than just facts.

Roxanne provided up to date info that I am not sure I would have gotten from an audio guide and it was so much more personable

See previous comments. Pompeii is a vast site and could be overwhelming to walk round. Having a guide gave us such a lot of information and insights we were able to carry on after the tour with a much better perspective on everything around us. The tour brought so much to life and enabled us to have a real emotional connection with the citizens of the town at the time of the eruption.

Very helpful to have a guide point out interesting sites and have background info, including why they had dancing penis decor! ��

We wanted to make sure we learned about Pompei as we were seeing it in order to really appreciate the history.

Having someone explain the city and how it operated and how houses were laid gave an insight that could be missed just walking about. I loved the new elevated area were you could see where the current excavations were being carried out.

We wanted to make sure we understood what we were looking at and that we had a timed entry into Pompeii. Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. We had a great experience.

We only had a limited time and wanted to ensure we saw as much as possible and with as much information as possible.

The guide was able to explain clearly how and when these incidents occurred and answered any questions we had.

We wanted a tour with a guide so we could have more of an insite to the history and experiences of pompeii

A guided tour give a more personal experience and on a large site it´s valuable that the guide can pick points of special intrest

I really liked the idea of the option to have a tour with an archaeologist. I believe the guides name was Sara, but I cannot remember for sure unfortunately. But the guide was absolutely amazing. She was so knowledgeable, answered any questions people had, and spoke so well and at a perfect speed so everyone could understand and follow what was being explained.

We read the reviews and wanted to get the knowledge from our time spent there. Hillary was a great guide, very informative and funny and spoke very well.

We had very little knowledge of the history of Pompei and others said a tour was definitely yhe way to go.

To get some local knowledge versus just wandering around the property ourselves. Our guide was very good, got us around the property efficiently, and showed us a lot of good stuff on our 2-hour tour.

I wanted to see the highlights and be told information, the site would have been to big for me to venture on my own in the time I had

Only had two hours on the way to Rome. The tour was perfect to gain local knowledge and see the more significant areas of the excavation.

To get a better understanding of the site (Pompeii) and to use the time spent in the most efficient way.

We knew the site was very large, and we wanted a professional to guide us through so we could learn.

Through a google search and positive reviews. We had limited time and a guide seemed like the best way to learn while we explored.

We thought it best to hear about the history of the site to gain better knowledge of what we were looking at.

To get the most out of the experience and to learn about the history. The guide was really good at explaining what everything was and so on.

On leaving the train station we instantly saw a guide from the company who showed us were to go for the tickets we bought online. Excellent guide, who told us everything we needed to know. He had an excellent sense of humour and we thoroughly enjoyed our guided tour. Would definitely recommend!

Not very up on history/archeology. Reckoned it would be better to have a knowledgable guide so we knew what we were looking at!

I traveled over 6000 miles to experience this. So I wanted the best experience I could get and you gave it to me!!!

On suggestion from a friend, we were told a guide would be best. Our Archeologist guide was amazing and so knowledgeable. Would not have done it any other way.

This was our first time visiting Pompeii and we wanted to have the chance to fully experience as much as we could.

Get some information and get more out of the visit. Skip the line But I ended up loving the tour guide. She was really excellent, informative, knowledgeable and funny. I really enjoyed the tour.

We were looking for a guided tour so we could get as much history and info in a short period of time.

I wanted to make the most of my time there. While I would have loved to take 4-6 hours to experience it all at a leisurely pace, I knew it would be hot and wanted to learn more from an archeologist.

Our friends that visited before us Pompei told us to definitely book a guided tour in order not to miss the important information of the site.

We had visited Pompeii before with a guide, and wanted our children to benefit from the knowledge of a guided tour.

It was simply to avoid the queues and most importantly to get a guided tour so that we could achieve a perfect understanding into the history of Pompeii.

To take advantage of the tour guides knowledge in navigating and getting good information regarding the site for the time of the tour.

Ensure you get there in good time. A lot easier by train and there is a connecting bus from the station to the site. Make sure you have some strong walk shoes/boots

1. Get there early! 2. park at a nearby restaurant and eat lunch there then parking is free. 3. be prepared for all types of weather - it rained and we had umbrellas and the tour continued without the crowds!

We entered Pompei at noon. Maybe in the morning there are fewer visitors and the atmosphere is even more authentic.

You will want to explore more after the tour ends. If you leave Pompeii at 5 when it closes all of the gift shops will already be closed. Get an archaeologist guide! Take lots of pictures and notes to revisit.

wear comfortable footwear have plenty of cold water Visit early as even in October it was very warm on site take your time, even after the guided tour ends. take a break and continue on exploring the site

Book a tour with an archeologist, absolutely the best way to see Pompeii Wear comfy shoes Read about Pompeii before you go There are a number of cafes outside the site so its easy to have a lunch or snack after your tour

Wear comfortable clothes and prepare to walk some distance. We visited on a warm day at the end of October and struggled to find any shade - in summer, be sure to take protection against the sun and heat.

plan out train schedule, almost missed mine because of it. expect to walk alot give some time post tour to explore its worth it.

The walking area is quite rocky and uneven. We were very glad to have our walking sticks. No matter the temperature you need water.

We booked the 1.00 tour and as it was October the weather was cooler and better for walking around. Its not something I would like to do.in the height of summer.

Go with a guide and try to see the priorities because impossible to see it all Make enough time if you visit on your own Take a bottle of water and a small umbrella (against sun or rain)

We were lucky to visit on a day when there were no cruise ships in the bay so it was less crowded. We had a tour in the morning and stayed until the site closed at 7, and there was still so much to see- don't expect to cover everything. Booking a tour in the morning gives you a really good basis for exploring on your own afterwards.

Wear comfortable walking shoes. Download the Pompeii app in advance and review where you would like to go after the tour. There is not much cover so prepare for the weather.

Take time to try and understand the map . Take your own food Remember a hat Take a power bank for your phone

It was good to have time after the tour to take a break and then walk round other parts of the town. Having a guide really brings everything alive.

On arrival by train you are made to feel you have to buy tickets there - but actually you can at the gate. We were there in October and there were no queues.

Book in advance and do a bit of a research. The train will be PACKED so travel light, but there is a luggage storage option at the station. Wear comfy shoes!

I wish I'd booked an organised trip to get to Pompeii from where we were staying. Rather than ferry and train which left us rushing and pushed for time

If you read the instructions you will be amazed how easy it all is. From the station to the meeting point and the nice audio system to hear all the important things

We went in early October. The weather was good, and although it was very busy, can only imagine how or would be in high summer!!

It was really interesting to learn about the history. The guide was very interesting and was open to answer our questions. She has shown us the major attractions and made the rest by ourselves.

Add the direction in google maps and there will be no problem. You will find people with the Tempo logo on their clothes

I would definitely recommend a tour of Pompeii. I would also recommend daytrip shuttle to either drop you off in Pompei or take you to your next destination. Very affordable and comfortable.

Go first thing in the morning to avoid the crowds. Hat and sunscreen. We spent 5 hrs and there was still more to see. Must go is the colesium, theatre and exhibition are a must.

The taxi ride was more than expected. If I had planned better we would have taken the train and walked from the station. Wear good shoes! The streets of pompeii are uneven at best.

Get a guided tour! Bring a bottle of water Wear comfy shoes Has your phone or camera battery charged!

Maybe. Place signs so the visitors know where to meet their guide. I personally had to ask 4 different group leaders to find our group.

Wear comfortable shoes and clothes, the tour is only for 2 hrs but you can spend more time in the place to explore.

Definitely take the train, the transport links are fantastic and station is right by the Marina entrance. Take a bottle of water as there is little shade Book on to a tour, we found a 2 hour tour was ample, we then had the pleasure of being able to explore afterwards on our own - which we enjoyed just as much

Vincenzo was our guide and he did it perfectly. Professional, good informaton and far away of oher guides who treat people as kids. We really enjoy his explanations.

THe info in advance said no bags or backpacks allowed but everyone had a small personal handbag or backpack only large suitcases or large hiking backpacks wasn´t allowed. A more acurate information could had allowed us to bring maybe a small snack one of us has diabetes and when the tour was over his energy and insulin level was way to low a fruit or simular could had avoided that

Come 30 minutes early and grab a water at the restaurant across from the entrance. You won't be late and you'll be hydrated

The train station is much closer than I thought Having a guide was essential to getting the most from the visit Plan for a longer stay than just the guided tour

The train from Garibaldi to Pompeii requires the Circumvesuviana line. Very easy quick and cheap to use. 25mins ish journey. In warmer months advised to take a bottle of water in with you as you'll be doing a lot of walking and not that much shade about. Highly recommend a guided tour to get the most out of the visit...you'll learn a lot!!!

Getting to Pompeii is a hassle. The restaurant across from the entrance has good food and service. The guide, Antonella is fantastic

-explore the area -ask questions, try to speak the language as much as you can -make sure you have euros for bathroom breaks outside the park.

Eat before the tour. If going in the summer, wear comfortable shoes, and water possibly. The lines for food and drink are long and expensive. Plan something to do after the tour. Pompeii is a small town outside of the site, and I only spent three hours there.

The place is incredible and very big. In this tour you only cover half of it , so if you want to allow more time to stay and explore more on your own, we highly recommend it. Bring an umbrella or ponchos just in case of inclement weather.

Parring should have been suggested close to meeting point. We Walker 2km to get to entrance. Discounted parring Which could be reserved upfront could be a Treat. Why dont Askos Try to upsell idle spots on Napels wonders or visiting vesuv at a 20% discount, if idle placer left for early starters after the ruin and free Extra Parkinsons time.

Book a tour to avoid queues Were good foot wear as very uneven surfaces Arrive in plenty of time as very busy

Just go prepared for wet weather poncho , umbrella. Take a hat , water & a snack it's a full 2 hours .

you can learn a lot more with a guide. It costs 18 euro to get in anyway, so the tour was only an additional 20. Well worth it.

Park at Zeus since it is so close to the entrance. Also can take the train as there is a stop right there as well. Definitely book a tour so you will learn some history and know what you are looking at.

Try to time the train as best as possible from Napoli. Use the bathroom before the tour starts Take water Enjoy!

Be early. They start the tour early if everyone is there. Don't go to the toilet if they say you have time - you don't. Watch for where the tour guide is. If you have the little ticket voucher then when you go through keep walking past the glass booth you will see the turnstiles. This wasn't clear to us.

They tell you to meet at a specific address, but there is a lot of stuff going on at that location. They need to tell you to "come up to the second floor in the red building that is right down the street from the entrance."

Plan a whole day in Pompeii, you can stay and explore after the tour is complete. I didn't know this and had other plans after it. 2 hours in Pompeii is not nearly enough.

Make sure to arrive earlier than expected. Take lots of water, wear appropriate footwear - the amount of flip flops is mad. And watch your step, a woman fell and hit her head on a step in our group, it's of course not going to be an easy explore, so wear the right things

Go in good time incase of waiting time. Have plenty water. Good shoes for the walk. A guided tour is recommended for the ruins, and spend some time on you own afterwards, it is worth it!

Have a driver bring you up the site for ease of drop off and pickup without parking. A guide makes the tour become "real". Wear comfortable shoes and bring water.

Do a small group guided tour. And we recommend Franchesco, Franki if possible. His english is easy to understand, he is funny and he is deeply interested in the subjects he talks about. And he really takes his time to make sure that everybody is on the same page as him. No rush.

Give yourself time to find the guide In summer go early as it's very hot Access on the train was very easy Take water and wear shoes that you can walk on uneven ground

We did the early tour and I really recommend it. Not only does Pompeii get really crowded, it also gets very hot as there is limited shade.

Perhaps a little more information about the scale of Pompeii in case you want to spend the day there. 66 football fields is useful to understand the scale.

Catch the train to Pompeii - it's very easy. Take a hat and water - there is little shade. Wear good shoes - lots of walking over uneven streets Book with Headout - they are first class!

We hired scooters so we had autonomy on arrival and departure which was a challenge but achievable. Take a LOT if water and a fan if possible as was a very hot day. Sneakers were essential as terrain was rough/bumpy most of the way. Jandals/sandals not recommended.

Take plenty of water with you or buy an iced bottled from the shop close by as it was only 1euro50. Comfortable walking shoes as lots of uneven cobble stones. Allow plenty of time to travel to the venue as traffic was busy. Definitely eat in the restaurant as you come out of the exit from Pompeii. We had a great meal there and they were so helpful and friendly.

Get in the meeting point 30-20 minutes prior to the tour starts, there are plenty of huge, organized tours around, lots of people passing by every minute so additional time might be needed to get to your guide.

definately book ahead trains are easy to navigate and inexpensive take water and a hat as there is very little cover/shade in Pompeii

It takes longer then the 2h it says on the booking, at least for my group since we didn't start the actual tour until about 30min after.

Get there early as Pompeii was extremely hot. We went before lunch and found the temperature v warm.

Book online day before, travel be train. Wear comfortable shoes, take hat or umbrella, make a note of train station location. Don't go to pompeii station go to Villa dei Misteria station.

Definitely book a guided tour to get the most out of the experience. Would recommend going at end of the day. It was quiet and we could see everything easily. Also less hot.

Do not forget your sunglasses and a hat or umbrella for sun protection...it was super hot! Bring a water bottle! Or better yet Gatorade! Wear very comfortable walking shoes...we covered a minimum of 12 miles on uneven stones.

Our guide Francesca was really excellent. She shared rich insight and detail that made the tour and overall visit really exciting and engaging. We cannot rate her enough.

Bring plenty of water and sunscreen. Get there early if you need to store bags or grab something to eat. Make sure to leave yourself time after the tour to continue exploring before you have to leave the area. There is so much more to see if you take the time to walk around.

Do visit early un the morning, less people and less hot. There is parking near the meeting point. See the Villa dei Misteri. There is a bar /food/drinks inside -- super welcome

Give two hours for the tour. We had English speaking guide with ear pieces for audio. Was very warm but our guide found many places in the shade to give some overviews. Loved the archeological dig site we could get above and observe. Much bigger than we imagined.

1. Go as early in the day as your schedule will allow. In the summer....it's hot. 2. Bring water! 3. Don't wear flat sandals, while I didn't wear them I saw others that did and there are a few places that more sensible footwear would have been more comfortable.

Look for the sign with your name Show up 10 min early Bring water Wear comfy walking shoes Wear sunscreen

The trains are often, don't arrive much earlier since you won't be able to do much since the crowded part of the city is at some walking distance.

We arrived early and even after having a leisurely lunch, had lots of time before our tour. I would recommend 2 hours is plenty of time for lunch if you have a skip the line tour. Take water. Comfy shoes Hats

Look for the guide at the meeting point. They are there even though they are not quite noticeable in the crowd.

Book in advance. Go early. Take a hat, plenty of water and maybe an umbrella during the hotter months. There is little shade in Pompeii.

Take light cloting, good waliking shoes and a bottle of water. I also recommend to take the morning tour.

Make sure you have the correct entry tickets and research exactly where the site information point is to get your entry tickets and to meet your tour guide.

We arrived via taxi from Naples port. We searched for a tour that included transportation however this was not readily available

By car from Naples center (Apcoa urban parking). Off season it was okay to go to Pompeji by car. Nice big parking spaces in the shadow were available. But generally I would not recommend to go to Naples by car. Especially not if you have a big car. We went in our 7-seater and parking and traffic in Naples center has been a bit of a nightmare�� Traffic is really crazy and parking places assume that you have a small car.
