Quick walk through

Single traveller.
I love history! Having the guide was a great way to spend time in the huge area that is the Pompeii ruins. The guide was very fast on his feet and quick ran through some of the highlights of the area. It was appreciated, as it was a very hot and humid day but I did find that the group was required to run beside him. I didn't mind but there was a family that couldn't keep up due to their smaller children.
The tour was easy to find (the office located at the top of the train station) and the guide was thoughtful to keep in the shade.
Less than ideal

We were expecting the tour guide to be more engaging and have more interesting commentary. The guide did not have a very positive attitude and it set the stage for a less than ideal experience.
Great tour!

We had a great time on the tour! Appreciated that our guide helped find shady spots to stand. The audio guides were very helpful and it was easy meeting at the train station and walking up.
Worth it.

first time using VIATOR and experience was not good
The tour was late because we had to wait for everyone to get tickets - better communication should have gone out to people for getting tickets AHEAD of time OR start the tour at 30 mins before to get tickets
Was difficult to hear and understand tour guide due to accent
Excellent tour!

We took this tour with Estela a few days ago and it was great! The tour started 20 min late (though we don’t know if the company actually gives Viator the correct start time because we were the only ones there on time). Once we started we were on our way! Estela did a great job guiding us to the highlights of Pompeii and giving recommendations for places to check out afterwards. There isn’t much shade but she brought us to as many shady spots as possible. She was full of interesting facts. This is a great value for the price and is significantly cheaper than other advertised tours. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour guide

Our tour guide was Michele, who has an excellent command of English (and French) and was great at answering questions from the group. Michele clearly has a deep knowledge of and interest in Pompei, as well as a sense of humour. Downsides were having a big group so to hear Michele you had to be near the front. Also buying the tickets was a little disorganised at the start.

A tour wasn't as necessary as we thought

Having heard that there were very few information signs, we were told it was best to take a tour. To be honest, I would have rather had an audioguide or just done some research ahead of time to see what we most wanted to see. Luckily, when the tour was over we were able to explore some more. The tour was fine but there were quite a few people (~30?) and it was slow moving. However, the tour guide was knowledgeable and the tour is cheap so we didn't feel like we had wasted money.
We really enjoyed this tour! Our guide...

We really enjoyed this tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and relatively easy to understand, and he adjusted the tour in the inappropriate spots to not offend children on the tour. The company was very accommodating, after I'd inadvertently booked the tour for the wrong day. They made it very easy to change. Highly recommend!
Wonderful Day

Didn't get there on time because the street directions are close to impossible to follow. The signage is almost non-existent and we ended up following parking signs that had us a 20 minute walk away. We finally were directed to the main entrance but I don't know where I would have actually parked.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
