    Amazing experience beginning to end

    Barry_N, Sep 2024
    An incredible experience with an extremely knowledgeable guide. Found the experience from beginning to end top notch and would highly recommend. We picked Herculanium due to wheelchair access. The site is truly amazing without the crowds of Pompeii. The guide was more like a friend who gave us the tour at our pace. Can't say enough. Took tour in July of 2022, not 2024.

    Thank you so much! I remember you, even though several years have passed. You are such a lovely couple, and it was my pleasure to be your guide! Please send my warm regards to your wife!

    Herculaneum tour with Irina

    Nigel_K, Sep 2024
    Irina was fantastic - communication was good, Irina was exactly where she said she would be waiting for us and was very knowledgeable. Brilliant guide a fantastic way to visit Herculaneum and good value for money to have a personal guide rather than be part of a large group. Highly recommend

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    :) Thank you so much! It was my pleaser to show you the ancient ruins of Herculanium, but also to chat in general with you, because you are a family with a high level of culture, during your vacation you dedicated your time not only to relax, but also finded time to visit the most important historical places of our region. My compliments to you!
