Wow!!!
Our guide, Clelia, was absolutely amazing! Our kids, 9 and 12, learned a ton and so did the adults. I’m so happy the kids were engaged as she painted a picture of ancient culture and traditions, bringing Pompei to life for all of us. It was super hot, but the time flew, she made it so interesting. Absolutely perfect tour, I would recommend for all families! The site is massive, you could spend forever there, I was so happy with our small group, kid focused experience.

Amazing tour!
Just had an absolutely magnificent private tour with Archeologist Claria. She was so knowledgeable, entertaining and enjoyable to be around. She showed and told us little facts we would never have known on our own. Even my 2 teens said Claria made Pompeii super interesting and fun! Thank you Claria for showing us the real Pompeii.

Exceptional way to experience Pompeii
Angela was exceptional. She knew the areas of Pompeii that are most of interest and could help us navigate the vast site with ease. She showed us a wide variety of sights and was able to help our teenage children to connect what they already know about the Romans to what they were seeing and experiencing. Her English was superb and she was very friendly.

The Pompeii guided tour...
The Pompeii guided tour was wonderful. My family and I enjoyed it very much. The archaeological site itself was fascinating, and our guide made the experience even better with their extensive knowledge and engaging explanations. We learned so much about the history, culture, and daily life of ancient Pompeii. The tour was well organized, informative, and enjoyable for both adults and children. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Pompeii.

Amazing!
Our guide RAFFAELE was amazing!! He was extremely kind as we had difficulties finding the group at the meeting spot he waited for us and was easygoing about the situation as we felt very stressed for being late he assured us not to worry. He was very knowledgeable about Pompeii and included a few small bits of humour which kept it light and interesting. He also tried to get us in as much shade as possible as the day was very hot. Thank you RAFFAELE !!! <3

Outstanding driver for...
Outstanding driver for the day and excellent Pompei guide; after the Pompei tour, driver took us to a vineyard/olive orchard/citrus orchard/ vegetable garden for a tour and a lunch tasting. All foods and wines were from the farm and the entire lunch was farm to table. Finished with an excellent local Limoncello. Then off to Revalo and Almalfi; perfect 8 hour tour

Friendly, Patient and Knowledgeable
Antonino was the best experience we had on our visit to Naples. He picked us right up from our hotel and gave us a knowledgeable tour of both Pompeii and Herculaneum. My wife is not the history buff that I am so he took care to not overdo it. I can honestly say we would not have had as easy and enjoyable of time if it wasn’t for him. I would recommend Antonino to anyone wanting the full archeological tour experience. He even dropped us off at the port afterwards so we could board our ferry to the next adventure.

Exactly what we were...
Exactly what we were looking for. Meeting place was clear, tour guide (Enzo) was passionate and engaging, leading us to all the key highlights of the ruins, as well as giving us tips for our own continued exploration after the tour. We were so glad we booked this!

Good tour
This is a very exertional hike up Mt Vesuvius and the uneven ground in both locations are challenging for anyone with mobility issues. However, it was great day, the archaeologist was very informative and the hiking guide very cautious and attentive. It was basically like two different tours and after the archaeologist left us in the ruins area, we had to find our way back to the front, try to find food and restrooms on our own before meeting the afternoon hike guide.

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!

Lello was the best guide!
The tour was amazing. Lello as a guide was perfect. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and interesting. He was like the mayor of Pompeii. Having the perspective from an archeologist made the people of Pompeii come to life. If you can ask for him, do it!
