Disgusted
This turned out to be a disaster! We made our way to pompeii scavi station and headed to the main gate at 9.45 am. Asked several guides, no one knew Maxs tours. Tried calling no reply! Walked down the hill and asked around tour guides again no one knew them. Back to the main gate no luck tried calling again no reply. I eventually messaged, after the information post at the ruins told me the meeting point i was given was inside the ruins which without a ricket we could not get to. They call me to advise we missed them and that was that! He did send me admission tickets so we could go in ourselves. Not what i paid for. Then had the cheek to tell me they are a small company. I could have a full refund provided i did not write a bad review. Obviously i declined i would not want anyone to be caught like us. Find another tour operator. Ruined the experience! And i paid for a service i did not receive. Poor instructions, poor response to calls, absolutely disgusted!!! To top it all the person i spoke to even deleted the message which told me i could have a refund if i did not leave a bad review.

Amazing tour for a family with younger kids
Rosaria was the perfect guide for our family of four, including two elementary-age kids. She was engaging, full of interesting information and kept the kids pretty focused during a punishingly hot day in Pompeii—an awesome feat ;) Thank you for a wonderful, informative-for-all tour, Rosaria!!!

Perfect perusal of Pompeii's pyroclastic peril!!
Our tour of POMPEII was incredible! Our amazing guide Maria "Rosy" Rosaria was so knowledgeable. She really made the city come alive, as we walked the ancient streets and experienced what life must have been like. I loved all of the extra information that Rosy contributed; especially considering she customized the tour path according to our wishes. It was like walking through Pompeii with a genuine archeologist at your side !! (Which she is - in fact) Well worth the effort, time, and money. Thank you Rosy. PS - bring a hat!! That sun is brutal! 🥵🌞

Pompeii guided group tour plus entry ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pompeii.
How much does Pompeii guided group tour plus entry ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $62 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pompeii usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pompeii guided group tour plus entry ticket take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pompeii is not rushed.
Is Pompeii guided group tour plus entry ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pompeii, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pompeii guided group tour plus entry ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Pompeii guided group tour plus entry ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pompeii guided group tour plus entry ticket?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pompeii can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pompeii and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pompeii guided group tour plus entry ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pompeii within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Pompeii?
+
On Outty we rank every Pompeii experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Minivan Trip from Rome: Pompeii Tour & Lunch in Sorrento, Pompeii : Shared Tour with Archaeologist Guide and Ticket Included, Explore Pompeii with an Archaeologist. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Pompeii?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Pompeii?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
