This was an incredible location, but Anna was absolutely a fantastic tour. She really went above and beyond and was so knowledgeable and patient and kind and interested in everything around us.
This was the best tour anyone could have of Pompei. I had 2 teens with me and he kept them very engaged the entire time . They even said the loved the tour . It will be a special memory for all of us.
Lello who is an archaeologist led the tour and is amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable, includes lots of history and very engaging for both adults and children. Small enough group and very little waiting. Great tour!
Cannot recommend this small group tour enough! We went on a Wednesday, so the site was less crowded, and the archeologist who educated our small group, Catello, was absolutely amazing.
Our tour guide, Clairo and was fabulous! Very passionate and knowledgeable. We started in the museum which helped bring it all to life and then we spent 2 hours immersed in the history of Pompeii. Would definitely recommend.
We turned up to Pompei and soon realised Lello was our guide and it was just me and my partner. We felt like VIPs from the start. Lello was great and told us soo many things that put alot of things in to context. He kept it engaging throughout! Loved every minute.
Our tour was informative and our guide was passionate about the site. We highly recommend the small group tour.
Our guide was just fantastic. Enthusiastic and fun, he took charge of the streets of Pompeii! I travel and do many tours, he was the best ever!

Sonia was a fantastic guide. So knowledgeable and was so adept to get us ahead of crowds to get spots to view the various parts of the site. She was also really patient with 2 'tweens'. Honestly one of the best tours I have done. Thanks so much
