GIOVANNA is the most Amazing person and tour guide!! This is a must do tour with her.

Carla_Z, Nov 2025

Giovanna was our tour guide today and she was AMAZING!! She was so kind and very detailed in her history and pointing out so many things that made our experience come to life to envision what it would have been like in Pompeii during that time and the experience of those lost on that terrible day and what they may have endured. My mom who is 80 and aunt who is 81 were with us and she accommodated their needs with giving them the time they needed to maneuver through. She made sure we saw the most important areas given the time we had and I would recommend her to anyone looking to book a tour. This was a bucket list for myself and family and we are so happy with our experience today. Thank you Giovanna!! 😊

Excellent experience

Why spend all that money getting there, and compromise on the actual experience? It was worth the expense to have a knowledgeable companion walk me through the very extensive site, and make sure I saw the key sights and understood them.

Highly recommend

We had a wonderful experience with Vincenzo as our guide! He helped us to understand the significance behind the sights we were seeing and pointed out things we would have never noticed or known. Getting a tour from an archaeologist was well worth the price. He was able to show us recent discoveries and take us to parts of Pompeii that other tour groups were not taking the time to visit. He did a great job of keeping us away from crowds and showing us a variety of parts of the city. I would highly recommend this tour.
