We had a wonderful time with Alex. He was great with my teens. Energetic and so knowledgeable about Pompeii. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a 2 hour tour.
Glen_V, May 2024
We booked Alex 5 months prior to our trip after reading all his excellent reviews without a single disappointment. Within the first 15 minutes of meeting up with him in person we knew we had chosen wisely and he lived up to his well deserved reputation. Highly recommend for those who enjoy the personalized custom knowledge experience.

Alex is hands down the best tour guide I have ever had. He is patient answering questions, and his knowledge of Pompeii is staggering.
The tour wasn’t cheap, but it was worth every penny. You will take away more in 2 hours with Alex than you would in a month of group tours.

Alex was very knowledgeable and personable. The tour included myself and two children, 10 and 7, and he was absolutely great with them! One of the best tour guides we have experienced on our trip to Italy! Highly recommend!

Alex is the most knowledgeable and personable guide we ever had the fortune to take a tour with
He explained everything in detail and color, we felt like we were touring Pompeii before the eruption.

The best tour! Even my kids who were not interested in Pompeii love it and wish it could be longer. It would not be possible to know so many details without Alex’s knowledgeable explanations.
Rob_B, May 2023
Pompeii was on my wish list for a long time so it was important to me to arrange for a top level private tour. Alex did not disappoint. He was super friendly, informative and unrushed. Thanks again Alex for a great experience.

Exceeded our high expectations. Despite a steady light rain, Alex gave the two of us a complete tour that included small details about subjects in which we expressed an interest. His presentation contextualized the ruins and the lives of the people who lived there. Alex leads the kind of tour that makes you want to return.
Ronda_C, May 2023
We had a great time! Alex was full of knowledge and humor and made the Pompeii experience memorable and amazing. We will definitely tour with Alex again when we return.
Christian_P, Apr 2023
The tour guide, Alex, brought Pompeii to life! He pointed out the smallest things that made everything so real. He has been a “resident” of Pompeii since he was 11, he calls it “his city”.

Absolutely amazing experience. Alex was informative and took us through places where there were no crowds so we could only focus on the brilliance of Pompeii and its interesting history. Highly highly recommend!
Sreeram_N, Dec 2022
Alex was excellent. Very communicative from the time of booking the tour to the time the tour took place. Assisted with getting tickets ahead of time. Very knowledgeable and willing to adapt the tour and stops to the interests of those he is showing around.
Greg_L, Dec 2022
Alex was the absolute best tour guide you could ever ask for! We traveled to Italy with our four younger children and Alex had them engaged from the first second all the way through the 3 hour tour. Not only is he one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, his passion and love of history and Pompeii is evident from the first time you talk to him. Of you are thinking at all about using a tour guide, book Alex now! Multiple works at Pompeii told us we had the best tour guide in the city and I truly believe it. Thank you Alex for everything!!! We had a fantastic day with you.
Su_R, Jul 2022
We have booked many private tours and Alex was by far an absolute standout. He made the experience incredibly special for us. He is very knowledgeable about this special place and exudes his love and awe of just how special Pompeii is. We would highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough to get Alex for. Guide it will be even better.

Alex was wonderful for our family of 5. I recommend him without any reservations. We all enjoyed our tour in Pompeii and found him to be a valuable resource and the most engaging of any of the tour guides we had in Italy.
Rancy_F, Jun 2022
We had a great time with Alex! He was super helpful when our nav took us to the wrong location. Alex helped us find our way and put us at ease when we finally arrived. Alex is so knowledgable and enthusiastic about Herculaneum and Pompeii.
Would highly recommend!
