Wonderful guide to Pompeii. - Anna is very good. Very helpful and knowledgeable not only about the history of Pompeii which he knows very well but also about lesser-known and nicer aspects of the life of the ancient inhabitants of the city. It makes the visit pleasant and light-hearted as well as very interesting for its historical aspect.

Wonderful learning experience - We booked a private tour of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Mount Vesuvius including a wine tasting and lunch with transfers from the Amalfi coast. Our driver Tony was prompt and friendly. The highlight of the day was our tour guide Anna. She was very knowledgeable, able to explain in detail even Roman Engineering principles, and had great conversation skills. She lead us through both Pompeii and Herculaneum. We skipped any lines which was really nice. The day ended with a self guided hike to the top of Mount Vesuvius. The tour was a great value and exceeded our expectations. Thank you “Enjoy Pompeii” company.

Afternoon in Pompeii with Sasa - We spent two hours in the company of Sasa, an expert guide but also a very nice and ironic person, who explained the history of Pompeii and how life was in the city before it was overwhelmed by ash. Experience not to be missed.

Fantastic guided tour - We booked a 3 hour guided tour and even with the rain to was a fantastic experience. Our guide knew the history of Pompeii and of the many peoples of Pompeii over the area’s many century history. We saw a great many things we would have missed without a guide. Three hours was a good start to see the city and get a feel for it but it was not nearly enough time to explore the site. We hope to get back to explore more of Pompeii Don’t skip the on-site museum to see some of the beautiful relics

Enjoy Pompeii - Grazie Mille Francesco - I highly recommend “Enjoy Pompeii” to everyone who visits this magical place. My tour guide, “Francesco,” was simply excellent. He put much of Pompeii’s history and architecture into context with knowledgeable information that truly made the experience much richer for me. I saw many people walking around Pompeii without a guide and while it is still stunning to look at the many historical artifacts without the context of its history I believe you really miss the full impact of what you’re looking at without a guide. Francesco was very knowledgeable, personable, spoke great English and got our group some great access wherein we otherwise would have not had. If you hire Francesco I guarantee you will be richly rewarded with his deep knowledge and passion for Pompeii!

Unforgettable experience! - Our guide Sasa made this once in a lifetime visit to Pompeii on March 12 an unforgettable one. His knowledge of the site and its history was highly impressive but it was his ability to paint vivid pictures in your imagination that made him such an outstanding guide. Sasa gave us unique insights into Pompeii that we never expected and he was excited to receive our questions and would reveal the answers during our journey of discovery, it was very unique and fun! Ask for Sasa, when booking, he is a truly passionate guide and thoroughly enjoyable to spend time with, we absolutely loved our tour with Sasa!
