Worth every penny and then some!

Romolo was a fantastic guide! He messaged us on WhatsApp about 15 minutes before our tour so that our link up was easy. It was a very hot day and he ensured from the beginning that we had water. Then we began our tour began. His passion for history is apparent and infectious! He tuned in right away to our personalities (we aren’t stuffy people) and curiosities and catered our tour to them. He was personable and and even charming and learning of his life-long love of the history of the area he calls home ignited by touring with his grandfather as a child reminded me of my own outings through historic sites with my own grandfather as a child. It honestly felt like he enjoyed sharing his knowledge and experience as much as we did. Highly recommend!!
Awesome Tour even better tour guide

Paolo was the best tour guide my buddies and I had on our 2 week trip around, europe. He had incredible knowledge of Pompeii and Herculaneum telling many stories and describing the way of life and the meaning of each individual object within the two cities. He really brought the tour to life and I would highly recommend Paolo to anyone visiting these specific sights, I don’t know how you could find anyone better. Paolo was also extremely kind and helped my friends and I navigate from sight to sight.
Our guides enthusiasm and respect for the art was unmistakeable

Our guide’s enthusiasm for the history and artistic achievements of Pompeii and Herculaneum is contagious. Paulo has 15 years of guiding experience so he is highly familiar with the sites. He knew how to navigate deftly so we could maximize our time and dodge as many areas when they were more congested as possible. Our party was comprised of a mother and 24 year old daughter. We both thoroughly enjoyed our day. We had specifically looked for a tour that combined Pompeii with Herculaneum so we could compare them. This worked very well. The experience entirely satisfied our desire to be immersed in Roman history. I look forward to returning with other members of our family.
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.
