Other reviews I saw before were just flowery and missing key info so hopefully this helps in making your decision:
Pros:
- Guide claimed to be a trained archeologist and provided good insights during the 2 hour tour
- the logistics were mostly clearly explained
Cons:
- there is a half hour wait for the train after the time you are supposed to meet. Most of it in the non air conditioned coaches with no air and can get hot while waiting. Bring a hand fan
- train is not very comfortable compared to most western countries. There are better trains locally but not the one this operator picks. The price of the ticket is 2.50 Euros one way compared to what they charge
- the tour is packed 30+ people - uncomfortable baby monitors are given as headphones and because of the cramped places mostly you lose transmission if you are not cramping around the guide
- at the end of the tour she just said good bye and collected tips - no details about return train timings etc - so look up on your own so as to not be stuck for 45 mins waiting for the next train
Highly recommend an ac bus if you don’t deal with hot slow passenger trains well.

A lot of hanging around d, the guide had poor English and very hard to understand what he was talking about.
This is my second visit and I felt he missed alot out. I also got fed up with hearing how much damage was caused by us in the second world war.
I wonder what the Germans would have done if they won

Myself, husband, baby and parents did this tour with Gino. Gino was amazing. As well as having a great knowledge of Pompeii he also had lots of jokes and made it a really enjoyable tour. 2 hours was the perfect amount of time although Pompeii is huge and you could spend hours.
Really great day and would highly recommend.

We took the regional train to Pompeii with our guide and had a excellent tour. It was very well organized. We had a fun and knowledgable tour with an amazing overview of the city and the culture. Then we were able to spend as much additional time as we wanted at the ruins. It was a perfect way to explore Pompeii for a first timer. HIghly reccomend, good value and excellent guide.
