Simply amazing! - Alex was amazing. Perfectly pitched tour to our group of 2 adults and teenagers. Couldn’t recommend more highly! The adults had been to Pompeii before on a much larger cruise group tour (not a great memory). Alex’s tour took us to exactly the right places and really brought Pompeii’s history to life. Alex’s historical knowledge was brilliant - fantastic responses to our daughter who has studied Pompeii within her Latin course. For the adults, it was like visiting for the first time. For the teens it was the highlight of our trip (we did a lot of tours around Rome etc.. ) Thanks so much Alex!

Incredible experience - We toured Pompeii with Alex yesterday. He was engaging and informative and took the time to understand what we were interested in seeing. He clearly knows Pompeii very deeply and has a great love and inquisitive nature for the site. The children really enjoyed it and I would wholly recommend him as a tour guide. At the end of the tour my daughter said she wished he could have stayed with us the full day.

Do not hire anybody else go with alex! - Amazing experience. Alex is a local who was born and raised in Pompeii and showcases his city with warmth, wit, and knowledge. Try to catch his early evening tour for an experience without the crowds.

Best of Italy! - My family had a great week in Italy. It included the Coliseum, the Forum, the Vatican, the Amalfi coast, a private boat tour around Capris and a vineyard. When asked what was their favorite experience overall, teenagers and adults all say the same thing “Pompeii because of Alex!”

Only way to Visit Pompeii! - Alex is amazing! What we saw and learned in just two hours was perfect. We saw other people walking having no idea what they were looking at, whereby Alex educated us and showed us things beyond my expectation. He also knew how to avoid the crowds so we really could appreciate Pompeii. Throughout the tour he took us through what life was like prior to the eruption and really brought it to life. We felt the life of people in the streets, houses and shops. Alex was informative, fun and extremely knowledgable. Best decision booking this. Thank you Alex!

Alex lives up to the hype! - Our family of 4, including 2 boys aged 7 and 8, loved our tour of Pompeii with Alex. From the start, he grabbed their attention and key them engaged leading the exploration. Alex got us off the crowded paths to explore a beautiful Villa and take a peak at the new dig area. Taught us all about the hidden details of history all around us. The 2-hr timeframe was well packed and perfect length, especially with kids and Alex’s efficient and enjoyable methods. So thankful to Alex for this wonderful experience we will cherish in our memories forever.

Personalized and Professional - We booked Alex 5 months prior to our trip after reading all his excellent reviews without a single disappointment. Within the first 15 minutes of meeting up with him in person we knew we had chosen wisely and he lived up to his well deserved reputation. Highly recommend for those who enjoy the personalized custom knowledge experience.
