      Paola was the best tour guide we could ask for! She answered all our questions and explained every small detail in the ground, to the mountains around. She was so knowledgeable about the volcano, eruption, excavation, and preservation process. Thank you for the best tour!

      This was a fantastic tour. Michele was an outstanding guide and told us so many interesting things about Pompeii. He was knowledgeable and passionate about the site and it came through in his presentation. We we’re met early and the 3 hours flew by. I can’t imagine seeing Pompeii any other way. Without Michele’s knowledge and insight we would have missed so much of what was literally right in front of us or under our feet.

      Daniella was delightful- she really engaged with our pre-teen daughter who loves Roman mythology, bringing her into the conversation and including her. Her imaginative detail helped bring Pompeii’s ancient people to life for us, and breathed life into the stones of the ruin. Recommended for families especially!
