Great tour!
Excellent tour guide. She planned a tour that worked for elderly mobility impaired women. She is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information.

Fabulous Pompeii Tour
We booked a 2 hour tour of Pompeii with Tour Guide Naples and would highly recommend the experience. Our guide, Ornella, was fabulous. She reached out to us the night before to arrange a meeting place near the train station, and provided a wonderful introduction to the Pompeii site. She holds a PhD in Economic Geography and was able to offer many very interesting insights into the economy and culture of the Pompeian culture and daily life. She kept us away from the crowds for most of the tour which was a welcome respite. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Thank you 🙏 , happy to know that you enjoyed your visit with Ornella

Amazing Experience of Pompei
SUPER ! Ionica Boghian, the tourist guide, has gave us a unique vision of the old city and her ability to sum up has been fantastic.
Response from the operator: 💙💛❤️

Too expensive
Very expensive for what it was. She was very nice, better to read up about Pompei as we did. She kept looking at her watch. Sad to say.

Thanks Ornella for an unforgettable experience!
Ornella was simply amazing! We were on a very tight schedule and Ornella provided a 2-hour private tour for the 4 of us and it was perfect! I wish we had more time to spend but Ornella kept us on schedule and showed us the highlights during the limited time we had. She is so knowledgeable and very friendly. She avoids the crowds because she knows the ruins so well. We would definitely contact Ornella again the next time we're visiting Naples!!

Pompeii New Discoveries Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pompeii.
How much does Pompeii New Discoveries Private Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $114 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 New Discoveries Private Guided Tour 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 New Discoveries Private Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 54 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 New Discoveries Private Guided Tour?
+
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 New Discoveries Private Guided Tour 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 New Discoveries Private Guided Tour?
+
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 New Discoveries Private Guided Tour 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.
