Herculaneum Tour - Roberta was great - we gained a real insight in to the history of Herculaneum. Roberta was considerate of the children and ensured we were in the shade as much as possible. A fantastic experience.

This is a must see! - Roberta was amazing. She was knowledgeable, passionate, easy to understand. Her tour made Herculaneum come to life- she painted the picture so clearly that you could practically see the ancient Romans in their homes, living their lives. What an incredible experience!!! This was the best tour we’ve had, and we have toured every day of our vacation.

Excellent Tour of Herculaneum and Pompeii - Roberta is a brilliant, enthusiastic, and thoughtful guide. Our family (2 adults and two teenagers) did a private tour of Herculaneum and of Pompeii with Roberta — seeing both sites was an incredible experience and we so appreciated having such a knowledgeable, engaging expert painting such a detailed and interesting picture of these important places. She also gave us helpful information about the archeological museum in Napoli, which we planned to see the next day, to view many artifacts from these sites. Highly recommend!

Perfect afternoon! - Roberta, was a fantastic guide! We contacted Roberta a few months ago. We asked her for a price for a taxi from the port we arrived and a tour of the Herculaneum . The taxi driver arrived at the agreed location on time and we enjoyed the wonderful stories that Roberta told us. Her knowledge is extensive. Her enthusiasm and friendliness is great. Thank you Roberta! Bram and family.

Fantastic Tour... a journey through history - We gave a tour with Roberta to our parents who were enthusiastic about the visit to Herculaneum. "Roberta welcomed us as if we were friends and not customers. She showed us around Herculaneum, telling us about it in detail with great competence. It felt like we were going back in time and seeing what she explained to us. When we return to Naples we will certainly be accompanied again to discover this splendid city. A hug Marina and Mario"

A journey into history! - Herculaneum was an unexpected surprise made even more fascinating by its story told by Roberta, with very interesting details and historical reconstructions, enough to capture the curious attention of my two children. Roberta's preparation and professionalism make the discovery of Herculaneum a gem to be kept with pleasure among the memories of a holiday. Highly recommended!
