Franky did an incredible job of bringing to Pompeii to life in front of our eyes. He navigated us through away from crowds and added stories and anecdotes that made the trip unforgettable. I had wanted to visit here for 45 years and it completely exceeded all of my expectations!

Frankie de Filipio was amazing! Very knowledgeable and made the trip a fun, informative day
Frankie was excellent!! Very knowledgeable and a great overall experience. Highly recommend!!
Frankie is a man of energy, humour and of great knowledge. Real pleasure being walked and guided by him.
We had a great time! Frankie was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable and made our time touring Pompeii a great experience! The transportation was very easy.
Frankie was absolutely fantastic! What a great guide - knowledgeable and funny and very engaging. Five stars!
the pick was early at 7.40 and not 8, they pick up guest from everywhere from amalfi coast and bring them to pompeii. we had to wait at pompeii after leaving early for 40 min before tour started Pompeii tour was good by frankie- good idea, took his own time and showed around with stories. followed by another 25 min wait till headimg back to vesuvius - this is where tours fails Poor communication from tour company - no guide for vesuvius - driver dropped off and instead of 2 hours gaves us only 1 hr and 10 min - bit rushed to go up and come down
Sasa, the guide, was great. Our interactions with the tour operator less so. I would not book with them again.
Follow Frankie was the best guide!!!
Great day, really enjoyed listening to our tour guide Sasa. He was really interesting and very entertaining too. He had all the facts and was very knowledgeable. Definitely worth a visit. Versuvius was a tough walk but well worth it and the views were amazing.
We had a fantastic experience with Enjoy Pompeii, and our guide, Frankie, made the tour truly memorable! He was knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly funny, with a wonderful sense of humor that kept the group entertained throughout the tour. Frankie did an excellent job bringing ancient Pompeii to life by helping us understand what everyday life was like for the people who lived there. His storytelling made the history feel real and fascinating rather than just a collection of ruins and facts. His laugh is absolutely infectious, and his enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. He expertly guided our group through the various areas of Pompeii, patiently answering questions and keeping everyone together with his signature "Follow Frankie!" as we moved from site to site. If you're visiting Pompeii, we highly recommend Enjoy Pompeii and especially Frankie. He made the history interesting, accessible, and fun—a perfect combination for an unforgettable tour!
Frankie was awesome. This by far was the best tour we have been on.
Had a wonderful experience with my family, our guide Frankie was great! He kept the entire tour interesting from start to end and we had a good time
This was by far the best Tours we’ve been on this entire vacation. Frankie was entertaining and interesting very informative. It was great. I would highly recommend this to anybody who takes a trip to Italy.
Great experience, Frankie was very informative
Sasa, the guide for the Pompei part of the excursion, was awesome. Very knowledgeable and funny. For Vesuvius, you just get stopped off to hike up the mountain on your own.
Frankie was our guide in Pompeii, he was extremely informative, funny and made the experience one to remember. I would definitely recommend this trip. Sadly one member of our group was very slow which meant the Pompeii experience over ran the 2 hour allotted time. Unfortunately this meant our time in Versuvius was only 1 hour 20 minutes as opposed to 2 hours. We are reasonably fit and managed to get to the very top and back in this time but many wouldn’t have managed it.
Frankie was a knowledgeable guide, with a fabulous personality who made the trip very memorable, I would recommend
A beautiful, well organized, and very informative! Frankie was an absolute show man! So much fun listening to him tell the stories, learning and laughing all day! Highly recommended!
Outstanding performance and tour from Frankie! He kept it light and enjoyable, while teaching us about the significance. 10/10
It was marvelous! Sasa (our tour guide) was soooo informative, fun, and accommodating! We learned soooo much!
Great tour. Went to Mt Vesuvius first - it is quite an incline to reach the top but worth the views. Guided tour of Pompei was after and it was a fun experience. Sasa, our tour guide was very passionate about the information he provided us. He was also very funny. We all had a great tour.
It was great and beautiful experience to say the least. Our Drivers and guide were all great guys. Trip started by pick up from Amalfi and we went to Pompeii. From Pompeii I was transferred to another car for visit to Mt Vesuvius. Special shoutout for Toni, driver for trip to Mt Vesuvius. A very nice person. Spent 2 hours on Mt Vesuvius, hiking to the top and back down. It was thrilling experience to be on top of a volcano which is technically still considered an active one. Then I was dropped back at Pompeii. Then we had 2 hours of guided tour with our guide Frankie (another special shoutout). He is also a very nice person. Really enjoyed my 2 hours of Pompeii. Such a great experience. Every one should visit Pompeii once if your are in this part of the world. Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii together is the best combo. Can't get any better.
The Enjoy Pompeii tour guide “Sasa” was truly memorable.. His passion and insight for Pompeii was unmatched. Incredible knowledge and love for Pompeii and the region was felt and understood very clearly. Sasa make the visit to Pompeii an informative and heartfelt tour. Truly loved it!
Enter through the excavated Roman gate while your guide explains the history of Pompeii. If you are lucky enough to have Franco (Franky) as your guide you will enjoy my your time navigating these ancient ruins. Follow that with a trip to the volcano. The walk is actually a moderate hike so check yourself if you’re over 50. It’s a bit over a mile to the top and I would guess a 40 or 59 story climb. In July temps on the mountain will approach 40 (100 f). I didn’t quite reach the summit in the hour provided by the guide. Sad but understandable.
Highly recommend this tour company to anyone considering visiting Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius during your stay in Italy. Sasa was an amazing tour guide! Very charismatic, humorous, knowledgeable and passionate about his heritage.
Easy on time pick up from our hotel in Ravello by Celeste who was a good safe driver. Juliana was an excellent tour guide in Pompei and whistled us around a 2 hour tour. The ruins are amazing and glad we went early as so packed as we left. We then waited 45 mins for transfer to Versuvius which was a bit pointless . After drive up to Versuvius we were met by a national park ranger who talked about the eruption and rocks . We had expected to walk to top of crater with this tour but only walked for Half an hour until told that was it as the rest of the group had a wine tasting. Not sure if we were joined onto a different tour which meant we were bundled into a shorter Versuvius tour but hey ho check the details of the tour as can be misread🤔. If you need to go to The top and see the crater which we thought we were doing this isn’t the tour for you but otherwise interesting and good transport in area with difficult accessibility links .
This was a very well organised trip - our journey's to and from our hotel were in a private hire car, which was on time and clean. Our tour guide at Pompeii, Christina, was excellent - friendly, knowledgeable and she said her aim was to "make us feel Roman" for the session. She did this. She brought Pompeii to life so that we understood and therefore appreciated it so much more. Without her we would have been clueless as to not only what we were seeing but how it fitted in to their civilisation and way of life. Climbing Vesuvius was fantastic. We'd read reviews about how they say the crater is 20 minutes, but it's really another 40 minutes after that, so we were a little confused and concerned as to how much walking there really was. This tour included Angelo, a qualified volcanologist who explained it all to us. He was superb. The truth is there are two craters - one 20 minutes walk which is the one that destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum (Monte Somma) which now looks like a meadow in a crater. The other crater is another 40 minutes walk and looks like a volcano crater with steam and is Vesuvius. He explains all of this and so much more to you. If you don't want to go to the second crater he doesn't put pressure on you to go. It is a walk up hill but he adjusts the pace to suit you. You don't have to be super fit to do it, but have some level of fitness more than couch potato, especially if older. The group size at Pompeii was small (9) and climbing Vesuvius was 4. This was perfect for asking questions and moving around. This trip was one of the highlights of our holiday. Highly recommended.
The driver picked us up near our hotel in Amalfi. The Pompeii tour was great, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and humorous. They say the walk up Vesuvius is only 25mins, but it took us a lot longer. It is a steep climb. But view of the crater and city is amazing
