Pompeii comes alive! - We are a family of 4, (2 adults, 2 children 13 and 11) who just had their first trip to Pompeii. Because of how large site is, we knew we wanted a guide who not only knew where to go, but could explain the history so that we would have a deeper understanding. We ultimately booked a Thursday morning small group tour with Gennaro and got all of that and more. It just so happened that we were the only ones signed up for the tour that morning so our small group tour ended up being a private tour.
From the first, Gennaro was friendly, fun and energetic! There was also no question about his knowledge of Pompeii and his enthusiasm was infectious. With Gennaro, you will not be bombarded with a list of bland names and dates that you will forget soon after hearing it. Instead, he will paint a vivid picture of the time before the eruption, the ruins on which you stand transforming to the bustling town it once was. Also, with every tour he takes in consideration of what his group's needs and interests are. For a knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, entertaining and memorable guide, we would highly recommend Gennaro, again and again!

Fabulous guided tour of Pompeii with Angelo - We went on a guided tour of Pompeii with Gennaro’s brother Angelo. It was fabulous. My husband does not normally like guided tours and listening to guides just repeat the same spiel. This was different. Angelo responded to questions and wove the trip around the highlights of Pompeii but customising it to our collective interests. The group of 8 was a perfect size. He brought the place to life. Highly recommend this guided tour. Well worth it.

Wonderful tour with fantastic guide - definitely recommend - Gennero was fantastic and was generous and waited for us even though we were 10 minutes late from the bus. He knew so much and made Pompeii come alive for us all! Had a lot of fun seeing highlights of the ancient city of Pompeii. Thank you for teaching us about Vesuma. Will never forget this!

Fantastic day in Pompeii with Gennarro - We had a fantastic tour with an excellent guide! Gennarro gives attention to both the major things and the details
Would definitely recommend using a guide as Pompeii is much bigger than you’d expect. We went in a smaller group with Gennaro that has a more personal touch than the bigger groups!
Grazie!

Fundamental - Angela and I were lucky enough to have Gennaro as an exclusive guide for the two of us. The experience was very engaging, the friendly guide immediately understood our level of knowledge and, starting from this, added many new notions and details, adapting the route to our needs and curiosities. We recommend everyone to be accompanied by Gennaro during your visit to Pompeii, it absolutely makes the difference!
