Expert and highly engaging guide - We loved our Pompeii tour with Lello. He took us to all the best spots and enabled us to view them before or after the other big groups also doing tours, which made it feel way less busy than it actually was! He also gave us a great plan for exploring the rest of the site once our tour had ended. Highly recommended.

Interesting and entertaining - Our tour guide was Italo on June 7th, at 3 pm. He was very knowledgeable and told the history of Pompeii in a story like fashion that clearly painted a picture of what life was like at the time. He was very funny and offered to take pictures. We highly recommend taking this tour!

Italo is a great Pompeii guide! - Italo was an amazing guide for our visit to Pompeii. He was helpful (I was a bit lost and he called me and actually came to find me which was so kind). He assisted me in finding luggage storage for our suitcases. Then we started the tour…he is fun, personable, so knowledgeable and made this giant overwhelming place easier to navigate while he shared the history. We could not have walked Pompeii without a guide and we are so glad Italo was ours. Our group was my husband and myself and our 2 teenage children. He made it a great afternoon for all 4 of us.

A unique Ponpeii experience - Lello made our Pompeii visit memorable and interesting. His stories are entertaining and engaging. I will remember so many details about Pompeii for years to come. There were only 4 of us at the tour and he answered all of our questions. He is very knowledgeable and fun, and his English is great. Highly recommend!

Great tour for first time in Pompeii! - Italo was very knowledgeable and gave us a great understanding of the basics of Pompeii. We contemplated going to Pompeii without a tour in the beginning and we're very happy we decided to go with this one.
Would totally recommend!

Pompeii at its Finest - Carmella met us promptly in the arranged meeting spot and ushered us in quickly. She gave our group a brief summary of what we would be seeing on the Pompeii tour. Every aspect of her tour was explained in perfect detail! We really enjoyed her knowledge and humor. Top shelf tour with Carmella!

Do NOT miss this tour opportunity!!! - OMG - what a magnificent experience!! Our "Small Group Tour" turned out to be just my husband, me and Lello, the company owner as our tour guide. It was absolutely amazing! Lello is so incredibly knowledgeable, shared so much information and history, and treated us like we were the most important people at the crowded site that day. My husband said, "A tour guide can share facts, but a storyteller brings history to life," and Lello is definitely a true storyteller. He even told some stories as if from a first-person perspective. It was made even more impressive by seeing him chat with almost every other tour guide there that day and having them tell us that Lello was the person who originally trained and mentored them. Do NOT miss the opportunity to experience the history of Pompeii through Lello and his extensive archaeological knowledge!
