A great tour for all the family
Marina was a great tour guide with enough enthusiasm to keep the kids captive for the whole 2 hours despite the August heat. She also had great knowledge to answer our more « adult questions ». It was our second time visiting Pompeii, but the first time with the kids and we enjoyed the tour and all learned something new.

A wonderfully engaging, fun tour - would highly recommend!
Roberta was absolutely fantastic! In two hours she made Pompeii so engaging for our three children aged 7-11, with a parents v children quiz and time travelling theme! She made it comfortable in the heat, choosing the route wisely and focusing on areas the kids would find the most exciting. They loved it!

Antonino was a wonderful...
Antonino was a wonderful guide for our day. He made sure to customize the day to our liking, and the information he presented was helpful, interesting, and accurate. As we started the tour, we disclosed our prior knowledge of the Latin language and classical world, and he easily adjusted what he spoke about and what he showed us/emphasized at each of the sites to match our knowledge. He made the sites interesting for our teenage sons and actively and warmly engaged them in what we were seeing. He provided as many water bottles as we wanted in the unrelenting July heat and he recommended a restaurant where we could eat a quick, casual lunch before continuing the tour. I would highly recommend booking with Antonino. We are so happy we booked with him. Thank you, Antonino, for a wonderful day and for the family memories of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Vesuvius!

Book the private tour!
This private tour was an absolute standout highlight of our trip. Alona was our private tour guide and we felt so privileged to have her leading the way. Not only was Alona deeply educated and knowledgeable about all aspects of Pompeii, she was also very personable, warm, and easily adapted the tour to the topics that specifically piqued our interest.
The tour was brim full of so many fascinating details, I learned far more than I expected to. I found myself having a very emotional reaction to the entire experience, and even cried a few times and embarrassed my teenage daughter! Haha
It is 1000% worth booking the private tour rather than a “small” group tour. Alona was wonderful at steering us away from the and made every bit of our experience more intimate so that we could fully absorb what we were learning.
Pompeii is an enormous archeological site, impossible to cover everything in one visit. I am already planning my next visit and can’t wait to return!
Enjoy!!

Great tour with an exceptional guide
Ricardo was an excellent guide! He was the best guide we had so far here in Italy. The sight itself is amazing but with Ricardo’s explanations it made it become even more interesting. His knowledge about Pompeii and about history in general was impressive.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Pompeii Experience Thanks to Sonia!
We had an absolutely fantastic tour of the ancient site of Pompeii, and our guide, Sonia, made it an unforgettable experience. Her knowledge of Pompeii’s history was exceptional, and she brought the ancient city to life with fascinating stories, historical context, and engaging explanations.
Sonia was friendly, enthusiastic, and incredibly passionate about what she does. She answered every question with patience and made sure everyone in the group felt included and engaged throughout the tour. Her ability to explain the significance of the ruins while making the experience enjoyable was truly impressive.
If you’re planning a visit to Pompeii, we highly recommend requesting Sonia as your guide. She turned a visit to an extraordinary archaeological site into a memorable journey through history. Thank you, Sonia, for such an amazing experience!

Amazing
While the hike up Mount Vesuvius was cancelled due to lightning, we truly enjoyed plan B, which was the visit of Ercolano. Our guide Mario was wonderful, sharing his knowledge of the history of the eruption. At Pompeii, we followed Ilaria, our expert guide. Having worked on the site herself, she had so much to teach us. We fully enjoyed both visits.

Great Tour!
Wonderful your with an expert guide. I didn’t love the type of audio earpieces they used compared to other excursions I’ve been on but that’s just a minor issue. I would recommended that they move to the more traditional headphone connection in the future.

Fantastic experience!!
This was such an incredible tour. Being with a private guide and skipping all the lines was worth every penny. Our guide was Vitelo and he was excellent. We were able to see so many fascinating places that we would have missed otherwise. Highly recommend doing this tour In Pompeii.

Amazing day at Pompeii
My family and I had a great time on our tour of Pompeii with Marily. She is a great guide - very knowledgeable and personable. She showed us interesting highlights and shared a lot of great knowledge throughout the tour. It is clear that she is interested in the history of the area and her enthusiasm made the tour that much more enjoyable for us. I would highly recommend this personal tour to get the most out of a visit to Pompeii.

Pompeii all day with Romolo!
This tour with Romolo was truly incredible, and without a doubt, the absolute highlight of our time in Pompeii!
If you’re visiting Pompeii and have the chance to tour with him, take it. No hesitation.
Romolo was exceptional. His knowledge is deep and fascinating, but what really makes him stand out is how he brings everything to life. You’re not just walking through ruins, you’re stepping into stories, history, and moments that suddenly feel real and vivid.
His energy is contagious, and he has an incredible way with people, especially kids. Keeping children engaged in Pompeii is no easy task, yet he had them completely hooked the entire time. They were curious, excited, and fully immersed from start to finish.
Out of everything we experienced on this trip, this was the tour we’ll be talking about for years. It was engaging, memorable, and genuinely special.
I can’t recommend Romolo highly enough! If you want a Pompeii experience that’s meaningful, dynamic, and unforgettable, he’s your guide.

Great 2hr tour of Pompei ruins!
My husband and I had a wonderful time learning some history, science, and archeology from our tour guide. He was very open to and knowledgeable about the questions we had. We would have loved to explore the whole space with our guide but when our tour was finished, he helped send us in the direction we were interested in continuing to explore. I would highly recommend!
