Our visit to Pompeii was absolutely fascinating, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was our exceptional guide, Frankie! Frankie did so much more than simply walk us through the ruins and explain their history\. He brought ancient Pompeii to life! Through fascinating details, colorful anecdotes, and vivid storytelling, he helped us imagine what everyday life was like for the people who once lived, worked, and played in this remarkable city. He also conveyed the human side of the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius, making the tragedy feel incredibly real and personal. What truly sets Frankie apart is not just his extraordinary knowledge, but his unique gift for presenting it. He is equal parts historian, educator, storyteller, and performer. His enthusiasm is contagious, his humor perfectly timed, and his wonderfully quirky personality makes the entire experience as entertaining as it is educational. We have experienced many guided tours during our travels, and Frankie truly stands out as one of the best! If you are visiting Pompeii, you couldn’t ask for a better guide! And we will certainly never forget: “Ahh, those Romans… Follow Frankie!” Thank you, Frankie, for making our visit to Pompeii such a memorable highlight of our trip to Italy! Highly, highly recommend!

Tour guide was great! Very detailed and knows his history. Also very sweet and entertaining. Interacted well with the group.
Good Tour! Franki the tour guide was informative and hilarious. He made the whole trip fun and was very knowledgeable about the whole area following the eruption of Vesuvius and the history and the excavation of the city itself. It was a smaller group of 10-12 people so manageable and transportation to and from our hotel was on time and comfortable.
This tour was very interesting. Our guide Sasa was great! He gave us so much insight on the Roman influence and what living in Pompeii was like. He was like a living history book! I’m a retired teacher and used to teach my students about Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii and have always wanted to see it. It FAR outreached my expectations! It truly was an unforgettable experience. Another bucket list checked! Thank you
A great day visiting Pompeii. Our tour guide Sasa was fantastic. He was super informative, told great stories about Pompeii’s history, and he kept the group laughing all day. He was top shelf!! I would highly recommend this tour!!
By far one of the best tours we have experienced. Frankie was amazing (bravissimo). He was very informative and made the tour very fun. I would highly recommend.
Great tour. Frankie, our guide, was simply the best. A true keeper of history and funny on top of that.
Frankie our tour guide was amazing. Kept us out of the crowds, explained what life what like in the Golden Age of Pompeii. Excellent tour, highly recommend
Great tour with Frankie. Very knowledgeable. Fantastic personality! Kept our interest.
Frankie was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable and numerous. We enjoyed the tour very much.
Our transportation driver from Sorrento to Pompeii was on time and very friendly. Tour guide Francesca was a delight! Our small group of 15 thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Francesca was an excellent storyteller explaining the history of Pompeii. She could answer any question our group asked. Highly recommend!
Our Pompei tour guide Salvatore was really good. He was entertaining, easy to understand, and provided many educational history details. Our tour coordinator changed our pickup point and time via text one hour before our scheduled pickup time. We didn’t see his text until 5 minutes before the new pickup time. When I called him to explain we did not see the text and were still at the scheduled pickup point he was very rude.
The tour was great. Frankie was a great guide. He kept us entertained, walked slow enough everyone could keep up, and was full of interesting information.
I didn’t really have any expectations about how the tour would be, but it was incredible. Frankie was extremely knowledgeable and hilarious. The humor keeps you on your feet. HIGHLY recommend doing this! What an incredible experience! Follow Frankie! (IYKYK)
Fantastic and informative tour led by Frankie who was a great guide, very knowledgeable and extremely enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Pompeii was amazing!!! Our tour guide was amazing!!! Make sure you wear comfortable supportive shoes/sneakers. You are walking on rock, not just cobblestone. The rock is uneven, and very challenging to walk on...no joke! That being said, it was well worth the effort. Don't miss this tour!
My wife and I joined a tour today led by the incredible Frankie. He brought Pompeii to life with his informative insights and humor – this wasn’t just a tour, it was an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime. If you’re going to visit Pompeii, you can’t do it it without Frankie!
Follow Frankie! I can’t imagine a better tour guide for this adventure.
This tour was great! It was the perfect amount of time you need in Pompeii. Sosa was funny and knowledgeable as our guide.
Excellent experience. Car service to and from Sorrento was perfect and our tour guide, Sasa, who had 28 years experience as a guide, was incredibly informative and entertaining too. Grateful we booked this tour. Highly recommend.
Our guide Frankie was great! His knowledge and humor made touring Pompeii memorable. I highly recommend him as a guide. Follow Frankie!
Had a great tour this morning with your guide Frankie. He was so fun and knowledgeable and made the whole trip enjoyable. Would recommend! Also seamless pick up from our hotel
There was a miscommunication in the beginning about start time and we missed our tour departure. Manager was a bit rude at first, but made things right by scheduling us on the next tour with Angelo, and he was the best tour guide!! He really knows the sites and the best way to view them. He was very nice and moved us along in a relaxing way, not rushing us from one spot to another. Almost happy that we missed our initial start time. I recommend this tour. Just double & triple check the meeting spot & time!!
This experience is worth every moment. If you love history and learning about Pompeii I highly recommend it and request Sasa for a guide
It was a tricky day in Sorrento to get to Pompeii for our visit after thunderstorms and flash floods the night before. However, Enjoy Pompeii could not have been more accomodating, switching from a driver to train, paying for our tickets and refreshments - just superb. Communication was second to none. Our driver was amazing and updated up with traffic continually.Thank you! Our original time of an 11am tour eventually became 3pm but could not have worked out better in the end. Less people, more time to view the beauty of Pompeii. Our tour guide Angelo was amazing. So knowledgeable not just about Pompeii but Mount Vesuvius also. He was amazing. So attentive to everyone in the group, constantly asking if we had questions and answering them! We are now all “Angelos Friends!” To have a guide who has so much knowledge as the best. Grazie Angelo!
The tour was great. Frankie was a great guide. Very knowledgable and kept it interesting. So much history to cover in a couple hours. Definitely would go back.
lovely tour guide Frankie stayed away from crowds and pointed out nice tid bits of information
Frankie was a great guide! Highly recommend!
Our guide Frankie was excellent. Shared so may interesting facts and stimulated our imaginations along the way- imagining life in Pompei 2000 years ago. He was humorous engaging and informative. Great guide!! There was a disconnect between Viator and the tour provider in meeting point location due to our residence not being accessible. It worked out but was not well handled by Viator or the provider. Nevertheless, we figured it out and had a great experience- largely due to Frankie!!
Frankie was the best. Informative, entertaining and insightful. Frankie was the best
Our tour guide was Frankie. He was a hoot as he kept saying "follow Frankie" in a sing-song manner every time we started walking. Pompeii was great. It was amazing how big the site was and how preserved the buildings were. We spent about 2 hours seeing stuff. Just a note: it was hot and there is a good amount of walking.
Amazing tour and our guide, Frankie, was fantastic. His knowledge and humor made the tour that more enjoyable. “Follow Frankie” is something I would recommend.
We had such a great tour with Frankie as our guide. He was very informative and witty. Definitely do the early tour to avoid the heat. Fantastic time!
Frankie was an enthusiastic and extremely informative guide. He was funny and thoughtful. A great day with a great group.
Loved the tour given by Frankie! Told us so much about Pompeii. Made sure our group was in the shade and not always in the hot sun. Remember to follow Frankie!
Frankie was an amazing guide. Very informative.
Frankie was a great and exciting tour guide. He kept us engaged the entire time and made it very memorable… follow frankie!
This tour was awesome! Sasa, our tour guide, made it so. Very professional and experienced. You could tell he loved his job!
Frankie was wonderful! Very educational throughout and moved at the perfect pace. Highly recommend this one
Outstanding experience! The trip to Pompeii was smooth from pick up to arrival and back. The handoff to the guide was very well organized. The guide, Sass, was outstanding. He was able to communicate details of the city which brought the history to life. Very informative and worked very well with the entire group. It was the highlight of our trip
Great experience! Good communication with the company. We were picked up on time from hotel. Our tour guide, Frankie was great. The two hour tour was the perfect length, super informative and beat the heat and crowds. It exceeded our expectations
We loved the tour, guide was so nice and so informative. Perfect way to see Pompeii, would have missed so much without a guide
Soooo worth it. A driver picked us up from the hotel where we met with our guide. Our guide Sasa was super knowledgeable and passionate. He brought us to all the major highlights with ease (including the recently reopened Vetti house) and had a great personality. It was about 3hr inside and if you don’t go with a driver you can stay even longer.
Excellent tour guide, follow Frankie lol every informative, fascinating and educational, great for all ages, got to see the best sights, missed all queues, consideration given to the heat so we were mostly in shade
Frankie was a superb guide, full of knowledge delivered with aplomb. Kept me captivated and gave historical references that were food for thought and reflection. Considerate of where to visit first to avoid crowd and avoid heat. Fun time Frankie is pompeii perfection!!
We had a wonderful tour of Pompeii with our tour guide Frankie! Enjoyed it very much and recommended it to everyone! Frankie was great!
Frankie was amazing! Great energy and did a wonderful job keeping us in the shade as much as possible! He was knowledgeable and fun! 10/10
Good experience! Pompeii is too big to cover it all so this tours covers enough to know the best parts of it . If going in the hot weather opt for the morning slots , it gets incredibly hot . The transportation had AC which was great
We had such a fun and interesting day with Sasa. Most of our group had never been to Pompeii before, and all said the tour exceeded their expectations. Sasa is funny, knowledgeable, and totally engaging. You will come to understand so much more about Pompeiii and its people from this tour.
Fantastic trip. Picked up from our hotel and taken to Pompeii where we met an enjoy pompeii agent who informed us where to meet our tour guide. Our tour guide (Salsa?) was incredible, her brought the city to life with his story like information. With only eight people in the group, he was able to tailor the tour to suit us.
