Ciro gave a fantastic private tour around Pompeii, showing us highlights of the site and tailoring it to our interests (graffiti and the recent digs). It gave so much more depth having explanations, personal stories and being able to ask endless questions! Would definitely recommend this over any other type of tour of the site.
A very good experience. Pompeii is a wonder, but with the explanation from the archaeologist, it becomes much more enriching because you understand the city and put things into context. Everything was very well organized.
We visited Pompeii as a class trip, and Felicia made the entire experience absolutely unforgettable! Her enthusiasm was contagious from the second the tour started. Her knowledge about the history of Pompeii kept our whole class engaged and excited. We learned so much more than we ever could have from a textbook. If you are visiting Pompeii, you have to request Felicia, she truly made the trip!
Beautiful tour with the guide Eduardo who accompanied us through the wonders of Pompeii. I would recommend accompanying visitors to the exit at the end of the tour, as it is really easy to get lost.
Difficult to find meeting point. No clear signs but at last saw somebody with placate on his lap. Expected a bit more in depth archeological knowledge sharing. Pompeii in itself however amazing.
Had a great time exploring Pompeii! Sergio was our tour guide. Kept it very simple explaining all of the landmarks and Latin. The length was great and felt that I experience most of not all of Pompeii.
Francesca gave the insightful, interesting aspects of the tour. Some a little fun. The more serious as to the poor victims they had on display. Got a lot out of it instead of walking around not knowing all the small bits of information of how things were done, what life was really like in those days before leading up to the big eruption in 79AD. There is a lot to see and after the tour I could walk around for as long as I liked at my own pace. There are two water fountains you can fill up your bottles. Drink plenty. Also you are given a map and there are street signs to guide you back to the exit. Chora cafe is inside, very nice all sorts on offer, I tried the pizza(properly made and you will notice the difference) also had a 3 choice ice creams in a tub. There is a wider selection of food and drinks. It's worth it. It's so fascinating to see it all and it's a huge site. Wear good walking shoes, trainers as they are Roman roads!!!!.
Roxanne did a great delivering the info in a short period of time without feeling rushed. Thanks for a great experience!!!
