A perfect day - Our guide was amazing and had so much knowledge and insight we wouldn’t Have gotten if we had a pre recorded tour. Also I am certain we would have been lost most of the time and she took us to spots we only would have seen from someone who has been there before with extensive knowledge of the grounds. It was a perfect day.

Such an interesting tour - Naty was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She talked to us about the key sites within Pompei and the very beautiful House of the Silver Wedding which was very quiet by comparison. We learned a lot and the tour really enhanced our visit

Perfect Introduction to Pompei - Perfect introduction to Pompei. Francesca held our hands from the outset, showing us the best bits of Pompei and pacing us (Mum, Dad & 2 earlyteens) just right. Excellent English. No questions unanswered. Absolutely fascinating day. I was sad to leave. Fran also stood backup in case we had problems travelling back. We couldn't have asked any more. Recommend without hesitation.

Great tour and excellent tour guide! - My wife and I have decided we'll tour with Liv or not at all. Once again our tour guide, Francesca, made us feel like we were back in ancient times with how she described life in Pompeii. We had such a greater appreciation for the ruins, and it made the overall visit to the site that much more exciting. So happy we got to spend our morning on this tour!

Excellent small group tour of Pompeii - What a fantastic experience, far exceeding our expectations. This was the perfect way to tour Pompeii in a small group. We really appreciate our guide Francesco, he was very knowledgeable on ancient history and was able to answer our many… probably too many… questions. He was great with our kids as well. Thank you Francesco, we hope to meet you again for another tour when we return to Italy.
