Walk Pompeii with an archaeologist guide from afternoon light to sunset, with skip-the-line tickets and time to absorb the biggest sights.
“Frankie our tour guide was informative and it was a pleasure to spend the time with him, he was polite curtious and respectful. He gave an indepth history of pompeii and the people who lived before the eruption. Would highly recommend having a tour guide.”

Sunset at Mount Vesuvius from Pompeii with skip-the-line entry and round-trip transfer, plus real time on marked trails near the crater.
“Je ne suis pas une personne qui perd son temps à mettre des avis mais là c’est le pompon je ne peux pas laisser passer ça Escroquerie !!! Publicité mensongère !!! Ils vendent des billets pour une prestation coucher de soleil qui est même en photo sur leur encart publicitaire !!! Mais c’est complètement faux !!! Ils nous font redescendre 1h avant parce le site du Vesuvio ferme à 16h Nous avons payer comme des idiots 160 euros pour 4 alors que le billet d’entrée SANS MENSONGE est de 20 euros par personnes Le site en vaut le détour très franchement mais débrouillez vous tous seuls !”
Small-group Pompeii at sunset with a licensed guide, fewer crowds, photo stops, and skip-the-line entry for 2.5 hours.
“Ok wow!! Vincenzo, our guide, was absolutely fantastic! Not only did he make us feel like we had travelled back in time and were actually living in Pompeii, but he gave us history of Herculaneum and the division of Northern and Southern Italy. We were the only two people on our tour and as such we were able to visit quieter areas of the ruins that we hadn’t seen before. I would totally recommend this tour. The time of day is great as the crowds have started to leave meaning that the ruins are quieter overall. Sadly it was raining during our tour (not that we minded) and so we…”
A private guided Pompeii tour at 5pm that trades midday heat for sunset light, with a licensed guide and time-saving focus.
“Gennaro was a very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly guide; with clear insights into Pompeii’s history as he was able to answer all of my and my partner’s questions promptly and in detail. Would take the time to come back to explore more of Pompeii with Gennaro any day.”

Private Pompeii sunset tour with an official guide. Skip the line, see key sites and mosaics, plus Forum temples, for 2–3 hours.
“Romolo è una persona molto in gamba, che vi contatta subito via telefono con informazioni chiare e precise. Appena arrivate a Pompei, Romolo vi porta a fare il tour raccontandovi aneddoti interessanti sulla città, con passione e curiosità. È facile percepire il legame forte tra lui e gli scavi, che risale a più generazione della stessa famiglia. Romolo parla un ottimo inglese, uno di noi non parla italiano ma siamo riusciti a seguire ogni sua spiegazione senza problemi. Abbiamo fatto il tour di 2 ore, ma torneremo sicuramente prenotando un tour diverso con Romolo. Andate sicuri!!”
