Outstanding very knowledgeable guide - Thank you Glauco for the wonderful tour of Pompeii. You went the extra mile and showed us places not on the agenda. Truely fabulous. Would recommend Glauco guide without question. So much knowledge. All the very best Paul & Vikki (UK) and Hattie & Hannah (Dubai)

Great tour!! - Glauco was excellent! He told this story and answered all of our questions while also making it fun. We actually went in the morning to avoid the intense heat but it was still pretty hot. He gave our baby his personal fan and umbrella and was constantly checking in to see if we were ok. He truly cared about the people in our group, making sure we knew were to go and we had the chance to do see and do everything. I would recommend his tours because he gets things done in a kind way among large crowds (and great for families). Wonderful!

Amazing!! - Glauco was AMAZING! He was knowledgeable, funny, and did his best to avoid the crowds. We were running late to the meeting time and he was helpful and waited for us. We had a great time!

Book it! - An absolutely phenomenal tour! Worth every penny. Exceeded all my expectations. My partner and I both went into not super interested in history and not knowing much about Pompeii but Glauco was the best tour guide I’ve ever had and he made it a very enjoyable, interesting and fun tour. I would 100% recommend to anybody coming to Pompeii. If you’re thinking about it just book it. He was super knowledgeable and informed whilst keeping us engaged. Seamless organisation. 4pm tour was great, less crowded and cooler and Glauco knew the best route and got through so many different sites.

Great afternoon in Pompei - Excellent guide who gave us a very informative talk about the Roman times and Pompei. He also adjusted the talk to suit my 11 and 13 year old. We had a great afternoon!

Wonderful Pompei Tour - I highly recommend booking a small guided tour when visiting Pompeii to know the essence and highlights of this vast historical place. We had a great experience with our tour guide, Glauco. He is very professional, patient, very knowledgable about Pompei, has a great sense of humor, and he even gave us tips. He has a loud and very well modulated voice which was great for tours out in the open. We felt very well taken care of. And also we unintentionally ran late but GetYourGuide had a great operator service so we were able to connect with Glauco and everything went smoothly. Grazie mille GetYourGuide, Walks in Europe and Glauco!

Glaucoma is best guide I've ever had. - Our guide was amazing, so knowledgeable and able to answer all our extra questions. He brought the tour to life in a way we would never have been able to do on our own. Definitely recommend taking Glaucos tour.

Knowledgeable and fun guide for Pompeii - Glauco was such an amazing tour guide for us in Pompeii. He was very knowledgeable and made some jokes along the way to make it extra entertaining. Glauco gave our group the option of exploring a different path to the traditional and we were so glad to have the opportunity to see the part of Pompeii still in the process of excavation as he pointed out things to look out for. Highly recommend him!

Great visit for the 2,5 hours that we had available. - Great experience! Glauco was very nice and knew a lot of things about the site. We would have enjoyed even more time with him but sadly we only had 2,5 hours until closing. Glauco has an exciting way of presenting the site and kept us curious all the way. Thank you Glauco!
