Lello For Mayor - Lello is The Mayor of Pompeii! He is remarkably engaging, warm, funny and an expert! We hung on his every word and trivia. I would absolutely take his tour again and recommend to anyone. Thank you for making our day memorable!

What a great experience! - What a great experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and brought the city to life! Having the private tour is a must. They were able to avoid the crowds and customize the experience to our interests. Cannot recommend enough!

Amazing experience delivered with passion - Hugley engaging for everyone in our group, we had been on a coach tour in Pompeii previously and did not rate it. Lello brought Pompeii alive so you could understand what life was like when it was the busy city it was and also what happened when the volcano erupted. I personally love detail and he pointed out to us lot's of the little things that were very clever at the time.

The best personal tour! - Rosanna was such a charm to have a private tour with! She navigated us through the crowds like a pro, and engaged my teenage kids with thoughtful questions. Of course Pompeii is so huge that we couldn’t see everything, but the time flew by so fast. I wouldn’t get a large tour!

Just an average tour - Just average. Not worth the money we paid for the tour. Guide was not personable and seemed more interested in get getting through the tour than actually showing us the sites. Focused on the most viewed and busy areas. Much of the information he shared differed greatly from what is published and accepted historically and anthropologically.
