Italo is the best tour guide of Pompeii - Italo was the most brilliant tour guide. He was soo enthusiastic and passionate explaining how Herculaneum and Pompeii were at different distances to Versuvius, therefore they were killed in different ways. How it was a trading place and then a city. There were lots of tiny takeaway shops and giant rich houses. Beautiful Frescoes, mosaics, gladiator working out areas, theatre and amphitheatre to keep everyone entertained. A court, pillars everywhere in the main square. Rugged sloping streets to wash off the animal dung and smooth pedestrian streets for humans. Lots of large fountains. Seeing the human body plaster casts was really quite guesome as they were trying to dig out of the ash. Before Versuvius erupted; I really felt I knew what is was like to live there as Italo was sooo descriptive. As I say, he really was a brilliant guide and I can remember everything even the wood on the rooves that had disintegrated causing the roof to collapse, (as he quizzed me about that!!) We both felt very lucky to have him as our guide...thank you Italo...it really was the best thing we ever did on our trip!!

Great visit with Lello - Top explanations with information about Pompei’s history and the daily lives of its inhabitants making the site more lively Without this guided tour we would have been lost in the immensity of the site and we would not have appreciated it as much A visit with an archaeologist is a real plus because of his expertise We were delighted with our experience and highly recommend it to future visitors

Perfect tour of the ruins, fantastic guide, and amazing experience. - Everything about this tour and Lello & Co. was flawless. We got in quickly in spite of the busy, busy tourist season. Our guide (I believe his name was Lello of Lello & Co.?), was extremely knowledgeable and also had a very entertaining sense of humor which kept everyone's attention. There are so many parts of the Pompeii site to see, and me and my husband believe he chose the most important ones for our group to learn about. We highly recommend this tour and really enjoyed the ruins, our guide, and the experience.

Mind boggling Pompei - Leonardo absolutely was incredible! His archeological background and his enthusiasm over what he was describing made the ancient city of Pompei come alive for us! We almost canceled because of the heat, but are so glad we went ahead with the tour as it was one of the highlights of our 10 days in Italy.

Fantastic- worth every penny! - This guided tour was fantastic! Our guide got us in the gate first and moved us up to every exhibit quickly, giving us amazing insights and background to so many points in this unique archaeological site. We were shocked at how big Pompeii is and how much has been uncovered in excellent condition. Our guide explained so much about life in Pompeii and what we were looking at. We got 10 times as much out of touring Pompeii because of his great insights! We have visited many castles and other archaeological sites, but this was the best. We got amazing insights into life in Pompeii prior to AD 79.

What a day!! - This tour was well orchestrated and very enjoyable! Our guide was informative and considerate as he tried to keep the group in the shade as much as possible. The ruins were amazing to explore on our own after the tour ended. I recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in Pompeii! Do see/explore the amphitheater!

Amazing tour guide! - This was an amazing guided tour! As an archeologist, our guide was extremely informative...giving us a lot of "hows" and "whys" to what we were seeing. Guides can make or break a tour and we were extremely grateful for ours!!
