Nicoletta is a star!

My family had a fabulous time with Nicoletta! She was wonderfully informative and did a great job guiding us through the site. Her passion for archaeology was clear, which really brought the history to life. My family spent a long time after the tour discussing our favorite moments and talking about everything that we learned.

Amazing day at Pompeii

My family and I had a great time on our tour of Pompeii with Marily. She is a great guide - very knowledgeable and personable. She showed us interesting highlights and shared a lot of great knowledge throughout the tour. It is clear that she is interested in the history of the area and her enthusiasm made the tour that much more enjoyable for us. I would highly recommend this personal tour to get the most out of a visit to Pompeii.

Great tour and guide!

Highly recommend this tour! Great experience with an amazing tour guide. We were lucky enough to get Mario C. as our guide. He had so much knowledge and brought everything to life. While English was not his first language, we had no problem understanding him. Thank you Mario!

Highly Recommended! Value for money

Rossana was our guide and she was such a joy to be with for 2 hours! She was knowledgable, fun, kind and super passionate! We left the tour wishing we could just go hang out at a bar with her. You just felt like you’d known her your whole life! Tour was easy go find, great pace and value for money. Great communication prior as well via text.
