Our travel guide was excellent. Would recommend this agency Naplesprit (sp?). Our archeologist was so very knowledgeable and entertaining with bringing the story alive for the whole family. Read the fine print on many of the listings that say “small groups” as we went with this one as it was a max of ten and we had only 6 in our group. Other tours that we saw were not able to asking many questions as they all had earpieces to hear the guide but there was no real interaction. We had a wonderful conversation filled with questions and stories! He even asked some trivia questions to see if anyone had done their homework about the experience (my daughter was all over it)
Benedetto was a marvelous guide. He navigated both Pompeii and Herculaneum so that our group of 8 was never viewing any building with any of the huge tours moving through. He was informative and engaging, both for the adults in the group and for my teenage son. He answered questions readily and clearly. It was a special day.
