Amazing Pompeii- a must see!

Susan_N, Sep 2026

Rosa Marie was an excellent guide! She brought to life the ingenious people who built and lived in this city some 3,000 years ago. From their clever streets, aqueducts, saunas, meat markets, homes, even ancient ‘GPS’ signs carved into the stones, to their tragic demise. An incredible experience. Thank you, Rosa Marie!

Mario made Pompeii come...

Mario made Pompeii come alive for us. He was the perfect guide-passionate about Pompeii, extremely knowledgeable, courteous and attentive. As he talked it was easy to imagine these ancient streets bustling with activities of the time. He showed us the fresco where he did work as an archeological student. I would recommend him to all who are looking for a top notch private tour of Pompeii.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Dear Paul, Thank you so much for these wonderful words. Reading that I made Pompeii “come alive” for you is one of the greatest compliments I could receive, because that is exactly what I try to do on every tour. Pompeii is extraordinary not simply because of what survived, but because of the people we can still imagine behind every street, house, shop, bath, fresco, and inscription. My goal is always to help guests move beyond the ruins and begin to picture the city as it once was: noisy, crowded, colorful, and full of everyday life. I’m especially happy that you mentioned the fresco connected to my own archaeological training. Being able to show guests a place where I personally worked as an archaeology student creates a connection that is very special to me. It reminds me how much this site has shaped both my studies and my professional life. As a licensed national tour guide and archaeology graduate, historical accuracy is fundamental, but I also believe that knowledge has to be communicated with passion, clarity, and attention to the people in front of you. A private tour should feel engaging and personal, never like a memorized lecture. Thank you again for your trust, your recommendation, and for describing the experience so generously. It was a real pleasure guiding you through Pompeii.
