Highly recommended - Fantastic guided tour with Sergio! Lots and lots of information and explained everything well along with welcoming questions - extremely professional especially whilst dealing with an unreasonable tourist. The think it would be helpful to make it a little more obvious where the guides were at the beginning and would’ve liked slightly longer in Pompei, however as we were also experiencing Herculaneum (highly recommended) I appreciate time was scarce.

Excellent Tour!! - It was really good. First, our driver Giovanni was excellent. He worked hard on his English to communicate and he negotiated the curves and hills of the Amalfi Coast safely. Our guide was also excellent. He knew his stuff and tailored it to our interests. The ruins themselves were unbelievable. It is hard to fathom how large Pompeii is without being there. Highly recommend both the tour, the company and the driver and guide.

Mena was the best! - Pompeii and Herculaneum tours were superb! Reading about the tragedy and seeing what used to be, is mind boggling. Our tour guide Mena was excellent, very knowledgeable. I recommend using one of these certified tour guides, you'll get a much better understanding of how things happened.

Fantastic Tour with a Fantastic Guide! - The tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum led by our guide and archaeologist, Raphael, was amazing. I am a history teacher and had some background on these two tragic cities, but I still learned so much. The Discovery Channel (or its competitors) would be wise to employ him as a host of an archaeology program. He was charismatic, funny, and entertaining. One would never tire of his Italian-accented English. He would truly give Josh Gates some decent competition.

Great experience! Must do! - What an amazing tour! Our guide Dr. Daniela was so knowledgeable, informative, and kind. The history about Pompeii and Herculaneum is incredible. This private tour is worth every penny! Daniela took us to all the major sights while avoiding the crowds. A lunch break was offered, but we decided to skip. By skipping lunch we were able to see most of Herculaneum before the bus crowds got there. Highly recommend!

A beautiful and unforgettable experience - This tour was a beautiful and unforgettable experience, our guide Gennaro was great and knew well the history of The archeological sites, he also always responded precisely and kindly to any questions. The visit was dense but the pace was easy to walk through. We saw a lot at a good rythm.

Tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum with an Archeologist - What an amazing tour. Thank you so much to Giovanni, our driver, for collecting us from the meeting point and navigating us gently through the Napoli traffic to Pompeii, then on to Herculaneum, and finally back home. He also shared his knowledge with on the way, pointing out key landmarks. At the sites we were escorted by Vincenzo. His knowledge was phenomenal. Everyone in our small group really enjoyed the day. Thank you both. Highly recommended tour.

Amazing Tour - ask for Ivan! - Amazing tour! We had three teenagers with us and they loved it too. Ivan was our tour guide and he was, not only extremely knowledgeable, but also so great to our entire family! Wear comfortable shoes - it's a long day. Bring water and snacks because you are walking a lot! I would recommend this to anyone visiting the area.
