It's so worth having an engaging guide here. Vincenzo has a rich knowledge & told us many interesting facts & stories. He answered many random questions & built an image of life in Pompeii. He spoke excellent English & was easy to hear & understand. Thanks for a great tour.

Melanie was great. I hope I remembered her name correctly but it was a short woman with blonde short hair and nice tattoos. She focused on how the city was very well structured and had a lot of innovation for its time. She knew her way around and we could really imagine what it was like living there. We took sunset tour which was beautiful and peaceful.

Francesco was the best guide we have ever experienced: supremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making us feel like Romans. We soaked in every word he said, time flew by and Pompei 2000 years ago came alive. His German is super articulated, clear and loud and clear. His sense of humor carried us all away. Thanks for the unique tour!
