Cle was amazing- she made sure she made the tour enjoyable and engaging and also really made sure the children were always taken care of and always tried to make sure the kids were in the shade. They loved it and so did we.
Roberta our guide was fantastic! She packed the visit with insightful memorable facts and guided without ever overwhelming us. The pacing was perfect for the heat — steady, comfortable, and efficient — and we covered a huge amount of the grounds while still having energy left to explore afterward. The best part was how brilliantly she connected with our 13‑year‑old. Roberta focused on his interests, spoke directly to him, and kept him engaged from start to finish. She turned the tour into an experience he’ll remember. Highly recommend
Pompeii with children was magical, especially for having found a special guide capable of bringing to life the atmosphere of a city and a time that no longer exists… showing us how much modern civilization could learn from the ancient Romans
Our guide, Clelia, was absolutely amazing! Our kids, 9 and 12, learned a ton and so did the adults. I’m so happy the kids were engaged as she painted a picture of ancient culture and traditions, bringing Pompei to life for all of us. It was super hot, but the time flew, she made it so interesting. Absolutely perfect tour, I would recommend for all families! The site is massive, you could spend forever there, I was so happy with our small group, kid focused experience.
CLE was an AMAZING guide! She tailored our tour to my 6 year old, and made her feel so special! Highly recommend this tour, especially for kids. Hope to visit Herculeaum with Cle in the future!
The guide kept the kids engaged during one of the hottest days of the year. We wouldn't have been able to navigate the site in the heat without her. It was great being able to skip the lines and see the best bits
This was hands down one of the best tours we’ve ever been on! Lelo, the archaeologist, was an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable. He kept us all engaged and entertained, especially the kids. We all learned so much about Pompei!
We had a wonderful family-focused tour of Pompeii! Our guide did an amazing job bringing the ancient city to life while keeping both adults and children engaged. The stories, interactive questions, and thoughtful pace made the experience fun and educational for everyone. We learned so much and appreciated how patient and knowledgeable our guide was. Highly recommend for families visiting Pompeii!
For my daughter’s high school graduation present we decided we would go to Italy and spend a couple of weeks between Rome and some other key cities. My daughter and her best friend were most focused on going to Pompeii and Paestum as they are both studying classics and anthropology. As such, we wanted to make sure we had a very focused tour and wanted to ensure the guide was knowledgeable and could answer their advanced questions. From the start when we arrived by train, we were greeted by our driver, Yuri Carlos and immediately pleased with his courteous and professional demeanor. He was right on time and made a point of learning all our names. He took us to the vehicle and chatted about the tours we were doing today and confirmed the schedule. Yuri was also very knowledgeable about Naples and gave us some great perspective and insight into the history and Mt. Vesuvius. He made the ride to Pompeii short and engaging. He also told us our guide, Roxanne was excellent and we would really enjoy the tour. We met Roxanne at the entrance and she was truly amazing. From the very beginning, she was energetic, intelligent, and it was obvious that she was not just a person that knew a few facts, she was a full blown archeologist! As we toured Pompeii, she shared so much great info that we took our time and she answered so many questions. Our daughter and her friend were actually impressed! We were given a master class in Pompeii and it was obvious this was no canned, scripted tour. Roxanne’s level of knowledge was mind blowing. It was also obvious that the docents and staff around the site had tremendous respect for her. She was also very kind and took pictures of us that will be great mementos of our time there. The true mark of a great tour is when it ends you can’t wait to come back and learn more. From Pompeii we went to Paestum. Yuri shared additional information about the area and made the hour drive seem short and easy. My daughter and her friend were familiar with some of the base story, but for my spouse and I we came in with very little knowledge. Roxanne took us on an experience we will not soon forget. She linked much of the information and history she had already shared at Pompeii with the earlier colonization by the Greeks and that linkage really brought the whole story to life. When you see the temples and monuments you run out of words to describe it. Again, Roxanne was amazing and so friendly and patient. We ended the tour with a walk through the museum and it was hard to believe we had to head out to catch the train back to Rome. Even though we stayed later than planned, Yuri got us back to our train on time and walked us all the way to the platform! The bottom line is this was an experience that exceeded our expectations in every way. We recommend the tour with our highest regards and can’t thank Yuri enough for being awesome and accommodating. We are also huge fans of Roxanne and will specifically request her and Yuri the next time we come back which will be soon!
Anna was an absolute dream guide for this tour! She was extremely patient with my inquisitive 9-year old, and made the entire experience so much fun for all of us. Thank you, Anna!
