We were unable to make the tour-and will try to make it on our July trip. Is there anyway of getting a refund, credit or discount? Lorie simone6018@gmail.com

Our Skip the Line Guided Tour of Pompeii was an eye-opening and unforgettable experience. The ruins are massive and filled with so much history. They brought the ancient city to life with engaging stories, historical context, and even a bit of humor, which kept us interested the entire time. The guide showed us all the highlights, from the well-preserved homes and frescoes to the amphitheater and ancient streets, while explaining daily life in Pompeii before the eruption. We left with a much deeper understanding and appreciation for this archaeological wonder. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Naples or the Amalfi Coast!
Great tour guide was exceptional. Wonderful knot and perspective and personality

Tour guide was very polite and informative, he shared some great things with us. It wasn’t a bad spend for the experience, however, there were a few things I think should be added into the journey around. We were given time after to explore on our own, and we stumbled upon a few things. But there was a bunch we missed, and I would have liked to see those areas. It was an okay tour overall, but I feel that the point of booking a tour (combined with the price) was so that we could be shown the important sites. Also, at the end, the tour guide said “Ciao” and just ran off. It was an odd exit.

Pompei with Antonio, small group tour

We thoroughly enjoyed Antonio's tour of Pompei. He's very knowledgeable and explains things clearly. We both learnt a lot during our 2 hours. He made sure we got to the good spots. We were booked for a 9:30am tour, and this had already changed twice, so we weren't very pleased to turn up on time and have to wait an hour for the rest of our group to arrive from Rome. Antonio was very professional and saw that we were looked after during our wait, but it shouldn't have happened.
Amazing Tour

We had a private tour, and our guide, Annarita was amazing. This tour far exceeded our expectations. This is the second time we've used The TourGuide and highly recommend them.

Guide was very knowledgeable. Was not child friendly tour, but we knew that! Group was too large. 15 people max would be beneficial! Loves the time to take pictures!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He has an archeological background and you could tell- he loved sharing with us and even went longer to show us the new excavation site in progress. The only negative was we didn’t have earbuds like some of the other tour groups and it was hard to hear as it was crowded.
