Exceptional. - Exceptional tour with a trained archeologist. I particularly enjoyed his perspective of Pompeii as a thriving community with people going about their everyday lives and within a matter of hours descending into suffering death, and destruction. This was not a “check the box” tour but one that got you really thinking.

Informative, interesting and fun - It was a pleasure having Noemi as our guide. The warmth with which she greeted us put us at ease and set the tone for the tour. Her knowledge about Pompeii was vast and she imparted this without being overbearing. We learnt a lot about the history of Pompeii including hidden gems that we would not have found/known without Noemi. A great way to spend an afternoon.

Amazing Guide for Pompeii - this was everything we could have hoped for. my father's first trip to pompeii, after a lifetime of waiting, and Raffaele made it perfect. knowledgable, passionate, kind, funny, attentive...just a fantastic guide. my father has some limited mobility, and Raffaele was able to quickly adjust to make the tour easier for him by changing our route. but even beyond the careful consideration that he offered, Raffaele was just so passionate about pompeii and roman history. you could feel is love for it, and it made our experience all the more rich. he answered our questions, offered wonderful insight, and brought the history to life for us. really can't say enough good things about our experience. would HIGHLY recommend Raffaele to all.

Exceptional tour and guide - Raffaele was an exceptional guide. He made Pompeii come to life in a way you could never get on your own or with a large tour group. He is so passionate about the history of the area and archeology of the city. He pointed out interesting features throughout the ruins and was able to answer all our questions. Raffaele really personalized the tour and also managed to somehow keep us out of the crowds of the huge tour groups. This is a great tour and if you have a chance to book with Raffaele, do it!

Fabulous tour of Pompeii - Noemi arranged a tour of Pompeii for our group of 8. She met us at the cruise port in Naples and had transportation for us to and from Pompeii. We had the BEST day. Noemi is so knowledgeable and quickly became our new best friend. We saw so much of Pompeii in 2 hours, learned a lot, and had a lot of laughs along the way. At the end of the tour, she dropped us off at a delicious pizza restaurant in Naples. We highly recommend Noemi for a tour anytime you are in the Naples or Pompeii area.

Amazing tour guide! - Yana was a funny, highly informative, and all-around WONDERFUL tour guide. Her English is flawless (important for my hard-of-hearing 80-year-old father), and she spoke clearly but enthusiastically about the history and archaeology of Pompeii. She answered every question that was thrown at her, and impressively was able to cover the "must-see" buildings of Pompeii in only 2 hours (the walking limit for our group!). To say that she is knowledge and passionate about her profession is to sell her short of her talent for engaging her audience, but also understanding their needs and pace. I would HIGHLY recommend Yana for ANY tour in the Naples/Pompeii area, and would gladly book a tour with her again in the near future :)

Yana is the guide you want for Pompeii - A private tour of Pompeii with Yana is a must if planning to visit the historical site. She was very knowledgable with lots of stories to bring the city to life. She caters to your speed and interests. With her experience she was able to pick out the best spots to visit and how to manage the crowds. I would only visit with Pompeii with a private tour and would highly recommend Yana. Her English is great which was a bonus when being a tour with so much historical facts.
