What people are saying about House and Thermopolium of Vetutius Placidus

I was unsure if it was worth going to Pompeii for the day as it was an all day excursion with my family. I am so glad we went, our tour guide, Enrica and our driver, Marco made the trip relaxing and enjoyable. When we arrived at Pompeii, we were greeted by a knowledgeable guide specifically for the archeological site and we learned quite a bit about life in Pompeii prior to the eruption of Vesuvius. It is was all pretty fascinating and even my teenage son was equally interested. We would’ve preferred ti hike Mt. Vesuvius but unfortunately this option was not available in Feb. but we did get to explore Naples a bit. Highly recommend, a nice way to break up our visit to Rome.

Pretty straightforward system to swap the online ticket for the actual one at the park entrance. Just wish I hadn't bothered to buy one online because there was only a very small line and I could have saved three euros. Would not bother to buy a ticket online in February but I would absolutely do it during the peak season. Pompeii itself is incredible and a must-visit place.

Amazing trip. Stopped in Pompeii for a few hours, along the road to get pictures along Almafi coast, positano. Only 12 in our group but able to feel like I was just with my family other than the bus. Excellent trip!

Our guide was knowledgeable, personable and willing answer our questions as we walked through a spectacular site!

The driver we had was so helpful and so kind to us.
