Great way to visit Pompei when with kids

Kim_K, Apr 2024

Claire was absolutely great. Learnt so much about Pompeii. 2.5 hrs was just perfect for the attention span of my 10 year old son and she kept him engaged for a long time.

Take a personal experienced guide to have the best experience with your family!!

Dirk_D, Apr 2024

Great experience due to the amazing guide! We have learned a lot about the roman way of life by storytelling. The kids were enthousiastic! We really recommend to pay a little bit more to have your personal guide to visit this amazing historical site.

A must do Pompeii tour

Stephanie_I, Apr 2024

Clelia was the best guide we have had! She keeps the kids engaged. Her knowledge of Pompeii was fantastic. We didn’t want the tour to end. We went with our 2 kids (10yo and 8yo) and my parents.

Fantastic tour!

Michael_L, Apr 2024

Lello was amazing! He kept the kids (6 and 8) and adults engaged the whole time and understand how much detail the kids would understand. Would highly recommend this tour for a family!

Highly Recommended

Alex_E, Feb 2024

Lello was a fantastic guide. His tour was informative and engaging for children and adults. He was energetic, extremely knowledgeable, and great with the kids. Thank you to Lello for making our time in Pompeii so special and memorable! We would recommend him to anyone!

Great!

Myrece_J, Feb 2024

Our guide was amazing. She connected immediately with our kids (4 and 8) and kept them and the adults engaged the entire time. I cannot say enough good things about her.

Wonderful tour of Pompeii

Emily_H, Jan 2024

Ines met us at the appointed time and gave us a wonderful overview of what happened at Pompeii skillfully navigating the crowds and showing us all the highlights. My 13 year old son was intrigued and throughly invested. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic guide for kids

ngaire_c, Oct 2023

A huge thank you to Raphaele (Lelo) for being a brilliant guide for our family tour of Pompeii. We have three boys (10 year old twins and a 9 year old) who are very energetic and collectively have the attention span of a goldfish - Lelo managed to keep them engaged and interested and entertained for a solid two and a half hours. The tour was very interesting and informative for us adults too. We are truly grateful and very impressed with the huge effort you put in with our kids!

Pompeii family tour

Luke_M, Oct 2023

Roberta was great with the kids. Pompeii was an amazing to see and the tour was I formative and exciting to see how they lived.

Lello - The great tour guide

George_M, Sep 2023

There are simply not enough superlatives to describe how amazing this experience with Lello was, from the moment we met him to the end of our tour he was simply wonderful and especially so with the kids. He has such an abundance of knowledge and being a archaeologist the information he provided to not only us but the kids and explaining it in such a way that we all leant from him. The time with him just flies and we wish that we could bundle him up and have him as our own private tour guide for every other tour we do. I can't recommend Lello highly enough and especially if you have children you could not go past utilising the expertise and knowledge of such a person. He was extraordinary in his knowledge and even more extraordinary with his engagement with our children and us. If you have children and want to explore Pompeii then I strongly suggest you do yourself (and your kids) a favour and secure a tour with Lello (if i could give him more stars I would!!)

Excellent tour if you have young children.

Carolyn_S, Aug 2023

Loretta was our guide. We met her really easily at the pick up point - which was about 5 minutes walk from the train station. She was brilliant and spoke to the children in a way they understood. Her English was fantastic and she told lots of stories and showed clips on her iPad to give the children an idea of what happened. We saw lots of big groups going around with a guide just talking and headphones in - this guide is nothing like that, it is a private guide just for your family. We sat in the cafe while she got our tickets and then walked straight in. Our children are only 8 but they really enjoyed it - they could even tell her the story of some of the gods that they had learnt at school this year and she showed them the story on one of the house’s walls. The length of the tour is just right to keep their attention. You can stay in pompeii at the end of the tour. It is expensive but totally worth the money. I found out a lot about it as well and certainly way better than just walking around on your own or in a massive group.

Perfect Pompeii tour

Kevin_B, Aug 2023

Daniela was a perfect guide for our family, bringing history to life, even for the children. We also appreciated the small gifts she brought for the children!

A brilliant tour for the whole family

Dominic_D, Jul 2023

An excellent tour. Our guide 'Claire', her name was a proper Roman name that I can't remember exactly, but she said Claire is ok, was brilliant at bringing the history of Pompeii alive for our 12 and 13 year old boys. Much better than being in a big group with headsets. I highly recommend this tour if travelling with kids.

Engaging

Danielle_G, Jul 2023

Fantastic tour of Pompeii with Roberta. Really engaged the kids (9 and 7) in spite of the heat. The kids enjoyed the scavenger hunt and competition.

The best way to see Pompeii with kids!

Fiona_G, Jul 2023

We toured Pompeii with our two kids ages 8 and 10 and can’t recommend this kids tour highly enough. Rossana was absolutely fantastic and kindness, knowledge and enthusiasm brought what would have been a pile of ruins to life. Our kids hung onto her every word and we all thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learning so much about Pompeii’s history. 10/10 - a fantastic experience

History lesson for kids

Danielle_F, Jul 2023

Wonderful overview of huge place with kids in mind. Full of good facts that interest kids as well as solid history background

Awesome family trip to Pompeii

Amber_K, Jun 2023

Our guide, Lelo, was fantastic! He made all aspects of Pompeii approachable and interesting. We were able to see many different aspects of Pompeii and we are ready to go back and explore more. Lelo made the tour very interactive for our son and now he wants to go back!

Outstanding tour and guide

Lynn_J, Jun 2023

Our guide, Maria, was so informative and did an outstanding job catering to my 7-year-old. It was such a great tour! Highly recommend!

Genuine and fascinating tour for the whole family

Suren_M, Nov 2022

Very engaging, surprising, at times captivating and a great learning experience for all participants. Thank you!

Memorable, educational , spectacular!!

Regina_P, Aug 2022

An archaeologist who is simply enamored with Pompeii shared his vision of what was a seemingly destroyed city. My whole family did not see “stones and grubble.” We saw a city full of life, commerce, architecture, and genius engineering. I love the sequence of the tour, always leading up to something even more spectacular. This is a must for anyone who really wants to understand and appreciate Pompeii and archaeology. Thank you so much Lelo for personalizing the tour for my kids like a school field trip. This was my son’s all- time favorite tour and we did many! I feel lucky to find this private tour and actually have kids to qualify for the experience. All adults would appreciate it too. We didn’t get to see the more adult / harrowing / morose parts of Pompeii which is better for me. My memory of Pompeii is magical.
