Riccardo was one of the best guides we've had anywhere! He's a born-and-raised Napolitano and he's an accomplished archeologist, so you can't ask for better qualifications. He knows everything and can point to specific details that other guides would have no information on, as he did during the visit to one villa at Pompeii where his archeology professor oversaw the excavation and restoration. He's fun, engaging, and perfectly fluent in English, so he kept even our two jaded teenagers engaged during a three-hour tour in blistering heat. After the tour, our son even bought a book on Pompeii that Riccardo suggested and started reading it immediately, so clearly Riccardo got his messages across. We're now eager to come back another time to do Herculaneum with Riccardo. Look no further, you've found your guide!

Our guide Raffaele was wonderful, he welcomed my sister and I at the gate and spent 3 amazing hours taking us to all of Pompeii's highlights and some brilliant secret gems that we never would have found on our own. The whole time teaching us about the ruins, which he was so passionate about and had personally studied for years. He was able to tailor our tour to our own personal interests and was at all times very mindful and accommodating of my mobility issues. Our organiser Francesca was great, and even assisted us on our morning train route from Naples. We learnt so much and had an overall wonderful experience, my sister and I could not recommend it more.
