10/10 would absolutely recommend

This was a phenomenal experience. I have always wanted to visit Pompeii, but I did not want to deal with a group tour. Hiring a personal tour guide for my family was the best decision and amplified my experience 10 fold. She was also very good with kids and definitely enabled us to have an enjoyable trip that could have possibly been cut short with our kids getting bored. She was able to give them enough insight and explanation that kept their attention without making them feel like this was a full on learning experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable as well and had a good answer for all of our questions. I will be recommending this service to anyone I know in the future that plans on visiting Pompeii.

Amazing tour!

Just had an absolutely magnificent private tour with Archeologist Claria. She was so knowledgeable, entertaining and enjoyable to be around. She showed and told us little facts we would never have known on our own. Even my 2 teens said Claria made Pompeii super interesting and fun! Thank you Claria for showing us the real Pompeii.

Perfect family tour

Fantastic tour - Claire was so engaging for both adults and kids. It was pitched perfectly to take in the key sights but not cover too much ground for little legs. Meeting was easy and great Comms by WhatsApp the day prior. Highly recommended for families

Exceptional experience for our family

Our tour guide Lello was exceptional. He brought Pompei to life for my 8 and 10 year old children and my husband and I leant so much to. I cannot recommend this tour enough. My son finds it hard to focus for long periods of time - Lello understood this without us telling him and delivered the tour in a way which engaged him.
