We booked a 2 hour tour of Pompeii with Tour Guide Naples and would highly recommend the experience. Our guide, Ornella, was fabulous. She reached out to us the night before to arrange a meeting place near the train station, and provided a wonderful introduction to the Pompeii site. She holds a PhD in Economic Geography and was able to offer many very interesting insights into the economy and culture of the Pompeian culture and daily life. She kept us away from the crowds for most of the tour which was a welcome respite. Highly recommended!
Thank you 🙏 , happy to know that you enjoyed your visit with Ornella
Ornella, our guide, guided us with competence and passion among the wonders of ancient Oplontis. Highly recommended!

SUPER ! Ionica Boghian, the tourist guide, has gave us a unique vision of the old city and her ability to sum up has been fantastic.
💙💛❤️
Very expensive for what it was. She was very nice, better to read up about Pompei as we did. She kept looking at her watch. Sad to say.
Ornella was simply amazing! We were on a very tight schedule and Ornella provided a 2-hour private tour for the 4 of us and it was perfect! I wish we had more time to spend but Ornella kept us on schedule and showed us the highlights during the limited time we had. She is so knowledgeable and very friendly. She avoids the crowds because she knows the ruins so well. We would definitely contact Ornella again the next time we're visiting Naples!!
I'm a disabled person, wheelchair-bound. On September 15, with my husband and son, I was able to take a guided tour along an accessible route in the initial part of the Pompeii excavations. I would like to express a GREAT praise towards our guide, Mr Gennaro Balzano. Competent, professional, very helpful, courteous and friendly. We were delighted with a lot of interesting information, ranging from historical, artistic, technical details and some anecdotes. It made our visit an unforgettable experience, also allowing us to visit the archaeological site. All credit to him, some criticism regarding the accessibility of the site for disabled people. It does not exactly respond to the fees that are advertised by the site managers. Mr. Gennaro did everything he could to allow me the maximum.
Giampiero was an awesome guide! Very personable, engaging, and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our tour, even tho we were melting haha. Thanks again! Definitely reccomend :)

Tour guide Laura was amazing and so knowledgeable. The whole experience is a must . Laura catered to my needs in a wheel chair we did not missout on anything
My husband and I wanted to get the most out of our three hour tour and our PHD Historian Ornella, did not disappoint. Her in-depth knowledge of ancient civilizations added to the amazing story of Pompeii and its contributions to our present day society. Ornella comfortably answered our many questions throughout the tour. She graced us with a touch of her humor as well.
Our guide Francesco was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Pompeii and shared wonderful stories and insights about the city, culture and the archeological aspects. He was very communicative before the tour and helped us facilitate our luggage storage and helped us get a quick taxi to Naples train station after our tour. Highly recommend this experience!
