History brought to life! - Luisa was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much more than if we had toured on our own. She brought the history of Pompeii to life! The time spent with Luisa went by so fast! I would highly recommend this!

Magical tour of Pompeii - Friendly, helpful guide who provided a vivid, informative and fun tour of the Pompeii site. We learnt a huge amount that you simply would not get from just walking round and because it was just us, we had the space to ask questions and move at our pace.

Pompei tour - Our tour guide was Alessio, he was very nice and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed the tour. We were lucky that the place was not crowded. We chose tickets that included Villa Dei Misteri and it was a good decision.

Private Pompeii tour - We had a private tour from Eliana Sandretti tour company. Carlos our tour guide was fantastic. Pompeii is vast and I think without the tour guide we would have missed the important stuff. It’s a lot of walking on uneven ground so definitely wear comfortable shoes.

Amazing So much more than a tour - Eliana works the Pompeii dig site and is intricately familiar with the history, culture and site. Not only do you skip the line, but she takes you to the most interesting places to focus your time. Eliana brings ancient Pompeii to life with details embedded in the ruins. Our private tour was beyond our expectations and was a highlight of the trip. Grazie.

Amazing experience with a true professional - My family and 2 friends (8 total) had a private tour of Pompei with Eliana on New Years Eve. We were very excited about this tour, and Eliana exceeded our expectations! We learned so much, and it was the highlight of our 10 day trip in Italy. Eliana is a true professional, dedicated to the work of a lifetime. She even showed us sites that she has worked on during her career. It is clear that Eliana loves her work, and sharing it with interested humans. My entire family, ages 18 to 78, loved this experience. We will be recommending Eliana and this tour to everyone thinking about visiting Pompeii. Logistics were easy, Eliana was in communication before we arrived, and even advised us on the train travel to and from Pompeii, and helped us get on the correct train back to Naples. Thank you Eliana.
