Our tour guide Mari was so knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions and showed us the best spots. Definitely a must do experience! So grateful for our Pompeii team experience

Giancarlo was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable on our tour of Pompei. He was adept at moving us through the crowds with ease from site to site. His knowledge of Pompei was exceptional. He answered our many questions in depth. We talked about ancient people and ancient times and he brought it all to life for us. We highly recommend this tour for your visit. It is well worth every penny to have the private tour with a knowledge guide.
He even accompanied us to an official taxi stand and made sure that the fare and driver understood our needs.
Simply, the best.

Gianni was stellar. Super knowledgeable about Pompei, amazing English, and an all round great guide. Would book him again in a heartbeat.

We had an incredible experience with JohnLuca as our guide. He was a fantastic story teller, keeping both the adult & teenagers in our party engaged throughout the tour of Pompeii. His English was great & he descriptions of the areas of Pompei were detailed and yet concise - to keep the teenagers engaged and interested. All questions we had were answered as if they were just a continuation of JohnLuca’s Pompeii storytelling. He was so kind to help us store our backpacks & after our tour, he then assisted in getting us a taxi back to our hotel. I am so grateful for JohnLuca’s ability to bring the story of Pompeii to life for us! Gratzie!

I feel if we didn’t have someone to explain all we would have wandered for hours. Learned so much. We were able to get through in 2 hours!

This tour is perfect for a small group that wants to avoid the hassle of purchasing tickets and parking and just spend time exploring the incredible history of Pompeii with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. With one click you are done and ready to see Pompeii hassle free. Here are a few quick highlights from our tour:
1) Special (free) parking a short walk from the entrance was a bonus especially at busy times; 2) Enza was an amazing guide (archaeologist), extremely friendly and tailored the tour to the interests of our group; 3) the site is simply amazing in terms of a glimpse back into the history of the daily lives of the early Romans.

Una experiencia FANTÁSTICA, Nuestro guía Cyro, con sus conocimientos arqueológicos, y pasión, nos llevo a los lugares más importantes y sobre todo, evitando las aglomeraciones, a rincones de la cuidad que solo niño que jugaba el escondite y recorría con total inocencia la cuidad, es capaz de conocer.
Cyro, proporciona un experiencia inmersiva que traslada la época más esplendorosa de la ciudad.
Actividad y guía 100% recomendable.
