Great trip to Pompeii…A+++
Thomas_D
, Oct 2021
Our guide was Sergio and he was excellent. You have options, audio tape, nothing, or a guide. While the guide is more money, the value more than covers the cost. Sergio understood and explained the stories, he unpacked the area in a way that made it very real to us. Sergio… you are a professional. Gratzi.

The story of Pompeii is...
George_M

The story of Pompeii is incredible as it includes a wonderful mixture of very old history and archaeology mixed with a massive geological event. The preservation of life at that point over 2000 years ago was very powerful.

Flexible booking, fantastic guide, wonderful tour!

We had a fantastic tour with Diego, arranged on short notice. He was flexible and gracious with our delayed arrival, eased our entry into the park, and was a superb tour guide throughout. Incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable, he made sure to help us prioritize the places we wanted to see and introduced us to some we didn't know about. It's wonderful that someone who's spent so much time in Pompeii can still be so excited about it! Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm with us, Diego. It was a great experience!

Engaging tour with very knowledgeable guide Rosanna
Stephan_B
, Jul 2021
Rosanna vividly explained us the story of how Pompeii was formed and under which influences the city was created- first the Etruscan, then the Greek and even the Roman Empire greatly influenced the life in Pompei. This, as Rosanna explained, still influences our everyday life. Thanks to the private tour, Pompeii became more than just stone ruins and I really started to get an idea of how it could have been like living in the city’s full bloom. I suggest this tour for everyone that wants a short and intense insight into Pompeii’s most interesting facets. Thank you Rosanna for making this possible

Bucket List!

We loved it. The tour was small and intimate. Our guide was very knowledgeable, gave us enough information but didn't overload us, he didn't rush us and answered our questions... plus was sensitive to our comfort such as stopping in the shade, making sure we had water stops, and helping us with recommendations for great places to eat after. Highly recommend doing this tour!

Pompeii Private Tour

Paolo was an amazing guide for our tour of Pompeii. We took the wrong train from Naples and our phones did not work so we could not reach anyone to let them know we would be late. We were so worried, but Paolo was at the entrance waiting for us when we finally arrived. He helped us store our luggage before beginning the tour. His knowledge of the ruins was incredible. We enjoyed listening to all of the very interesting information he told us. Paolo was really nice, very friendly and fun. We highly recommend hiring him if you are planning on seeing the Pompeii ruins.

Amazing experience

Our tour guide, Michele, was great and very knowledgeable about Pompeii. He was very blunt about what areas were originally from Pompeii and what wasn’t. Highly recommend getting a guide so you can ask questions.
