Tour was too short for the amount of information Glauco knows - Glauco was highly recommended by my cousin. He was very thorough and took the time to explain about the ruins. He kept our attention throughout the tour. He was very detailed and really provided information that other tour guides would probably just glance over. He had so much information to give that the tour was over before we knew it. If we go back, we will reach out to him. In sure he’ll have more information that he didn’t cover the first go around. He’s that good!!

An astounding SIGHT to see and a GUIDE to ring it to life! - Thank you, Glauco, for such an enlightening and informative tour of this astounding sight. You took us early and from the back to the front, avoiding any crowds at all so that we saw virtually everything by ourselves in absolute clarity with nothing interfering with our vision. It was truly an exceptional tour for my wife and myself and we both thank you for it! Joe &Arlene

Private (2 person) Tour of Pompeii - Glauco gave a tour for my boyfriend and I of Pompeii and it was wonderful. His knowledge of the area and ability to cover so much space and information in 2 hours was truly impressive. Not only was his tour educational but it was fun. Glauco is friend and polite and the tour guide I would recommend if your are planning a visit to Pompeii. He and his tour is a 10/10!

The best tour of Pompeii - My wife and I hired a private tour of Pompeii with Glauco on the 26th of September. It was a great value. He is very experienced and knowledgeable of Pompeii and provided a tour that generally missed the crowds and group tours to provide interesting information and history of Pompeii. Choosing to book a private tour with Glauco is so much more rewarding than a group tour - the benefits far outweigh the extra cost. Highly Recommended.

Great Guide and Lovely Chap - We were not going to have a guide until our driver advised that it would be best. He wasn’t wrong. He managed to contact Glauco and we had a guide at very short notice. He was brilliant, very friendly, very knowledgeable and an all round nice guy. I’d highly recommend.

Wandering around Pompeii and Naples - Glauco is a Super Guide! He accompanied me and my family to discover the wonders of the archaeological area of Pompeii and the historic center of Naples. With us was our 9-year-old son and managed to win him over with a good dose of sympathy, a lot of preparation and empathy. He kept to his schedule and intrigued him with intelligence. On the first day of my child's school the teacher asked to tell with images the months of vacation just passed and he designed, among other things, one of the ovens seen with Glaucus in Pompeii. The visit through the streets of the historic center of Naples was wonderful, we enjoyed the city savoring it adagio, going at a slow pace, chatting with artisans and not disdaining the local culinary delights. Art and history mixed with laughter and the discovery of new countries, I think we will not forget the new land of Frontlandia! Glauco: a Guide, a Guarantee.
