Gino is the best!!!! - Gino's tour of Pompeii was an absolute delight! His wealth of knowledge about the ancient city combined with his infectious humor made for an unforgettable experience. It truly was the best tour we've had in Italy. Gino effortlessly transported us back in time, painting vivid pictures of Pompeiian life with his engaging storytelling. His ability to blend history with humor kept us entertained from start to finish. In top of that he’s an animal lover!!! I highly recommend Gino's tour to anyone seeking an enriching and enjoyable exploration of Pompeii.

Highly recommend this tour - Gino's knowledge of the history of Pompeii was very impressive. He was also very friendly with a little humor thrown in at times. The tour was very organized and prompt. I would recommend this tour if you want to really know what happened to the people of Pompeii and how lived and died in their time.

Memorable - Everything went smoothly Gino was well knowledged and fun. Worth booking a guide for Pompeii as you get to see the most important areas, although not included in the cost we added independently villa Mistiri, well worth it.

Excellent tour - Gino was a great guide. He took us to many of the main areas. Pompeii is so large but I feel we saw a good portion. It’s a long day and the train was really busy on the way home. Would recommend booking a car for the trip home.

Excellent tour - Excellent tour. Easy to meet at the train station for pick up. Gino was fantastic and funny. He explained what we would do and where we go on the tour. He was really informative. Very knowledgeable and especially helpful with our 8 year old daughter. He advised when we were at the Pompeii brothel so we could avoid it with her. (Explicit painting on the wall.) We really enjoyed our morning tour. We learnt more than we would have from walking around on our own.
