Pompeii Private Tour with Expert Guide

My wife and I did the tour of Pompei with her 80 year old parents. Our tour guide, Paolo, was amazing knowledgeable about Pompei. But perhaps just as importantly, he was really patient with my wife's parents, taking walking breaks, finding shady areas to rest and going at their pace. We really appreciated this. Having said this, we also learned a ton from Paolo, who had archeology experience at Pompei, about how Romans lived and how the city has been escavated over the years. From visiting huge mansions to explaining the rock placement in the streets, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Romolo was outstanding. Very insightful and entertaining. We covered so much and the 3 hours actually felt like 30 minutes. Leave some time after the tour to explore on your own if possible.

Romolo was outstanding ! We learned so much from his narrative ! He was extremely knowledgeable - friendly and professional !

Very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, great communication from start to finish with clear instructions. highly we had a great experience. 5 Star

This tour with Romolo was truly incredible, and without a doubt, the absolute highlight of our time in Pompeii! If you’re visiting Pompeii and have the chance to tour with him, take it. No hesitation. Romolo was exceptional. His knowledge is deep and fascinating, but what really makes him stand out is how he brings everything to life. You’re not just walking through ruins, you’re stepping into stories, history, and moments that suddenly feel real and vivid. His energy is contagious, and he has an incredible way with people, especially kids. Keeping children engaged in Pompeii is no easy task, yet he had them completely hooked the entire time. They were curious, excited, and fully immersed from start to finish. Out of everything we experienced on this trip, this was the tour we’ll be talking about for years. It was engaging, memorable, and genuinely special. I can’t recommend Romolo highly enough! If you want a Pompeii experience that’s meaningful, dynamic, and unforgettable, he’s your guide.

I highly recommend Romolo. Wonderful tour!! Very informative and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

We had a fantastic experience with Romano. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and made everything so interesting and easy to follow. He kept our teenagers fully engaged throughout, which is no small feat, and made the whole day feel seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend, he really made our visit special.

My family (party of 3) booked a private tour and it was exceptional. The weather was perfect and crowd size was manageable in early April. Our guide, Romolo, was so welcoming and knowledgeable; his personality and information contributed significantly to the breathtaking experience of Pompeii. The tour was two hours and 15 minutes which was sufficient for providing a context for deeper understanding of the location and was helpful for exploring on our own. I would strongly encourage anyone considering a tour to book one- you won’t regret it.

Romolo was knowledgeable, spoke clear english, witty, kind, but most of all accommodating. My daughter woke the day of our tour with a head cold. I contacted Romolo by WhatsApp and asked if we could reschedule for the next day. He immediately said he was sorry to hear of my daughter’s illness and that he could do the next day. We used Viator to book the tour and its website clearly says no cancellation or reschedules if within 24 hours of scheduled tour. Romolo did not have to reschedule but he did and we were very thankful. Not only did we get to use the tour we paid for but his knowledge, witty, and fun personality made our tour very enjoyable. I would highly recommend using Romolo.
