Let Carly take you for a tour - We had a great tour with Carla (aka Charly) who is an archiologist by trade which provided more insight into the ruins of Pompeii. Although she is afraid of pigeons we still think she is the best guide! :)

The Tour of a Lifetime – Pompeii Came Alive with Carla! - Visiting Pompeii has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl, and Carla turned that lifelong dream into an experience I’ll treasure forever. She didn’t just show us the ruins — she brought them back to life. Carla has an incredible gift for storytelling, blending her deep knowledge of Pompeii and Roman history with insight, humor, and heart. She helped us see that the people of Pompeii weren’t so different from us — modern, relatable, and very human. She even explored the psychological side of what they went through, making history feel personal and real. She met and exceeded every expectation I had (and I had high ones!). Funny, passionate, and endlessly engaging — Carla doesn’t just give tours; she gives time travel with a twist of wit. If you’re going to visit Pompeii, do yourself a favor and go with Carla. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll leave feeling like you just walked through history with an old friend.

Exceptional tour guide - Exceptional tour guide. From the very beginning, Carla’s scene setting broadened my mind and I loved every minute of her gently telling the stories that brought Pompeii to life. She has a knowledge and passion that is infectious. Great people skills – just 6 of us which was well worth it. Very highly recommend

Excellent tour and guide - We had an incredible experience on our tour of Pompeii with Marina. She was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Pompeii. From the moment she greeted us at the train station until the end of the tour she was simply delightful. The length of the tour was perfect for us.

Pompeii is a must see - Pompeii was an incredible experience with a very knowledgable guide. Mario took us to the bath houses, theater, bakeries and homes and explained the culture of Romans in 79AD. Pompeii is a must see.
