Great private tour, know knowledgeable and fun guide! - Lucy was a fantastic tour guide! She lead us all around Pompeii and managed to keep us away from the crowds. She was fun and very knowledgeable! It was very nice to have a tour for just our family. We highly recommend this tour, but specifically Lucy.

Luciana was a great guide for Pompei and Herculaneum - We had a great tour of Pompei with Luciana. She answered all our questions, showed us the major parts, and customized the tour to our interests. We enjoyed her tour so much that we booked her for the next day to go to Herculaneum. Highly recommended!

April 2024 Pompeii Tour - Our three-hour private tour with Luisa was super. It was two adults and two teenagers, in high school. Luisa was incredibly knowledgeable, and she made Pompeii and its history come alive for us. I'm really glad we splurged for the tour with her and didn't just do the audio guides or a bigger tour. She kept us all engaged.

EVEN PLEASED OUR TEEN SON & DAUGHTER!!! - Extremely pleased and had TWO TEENS (boy and girl 15 & 17) who loved her too! That says ALOT! Loved how she’d steer us away from the crowds and give us an even better experience despite the business of the place. Very knowledgeable and extremely fun-loving and friendly. Highly recommended!!!

Could not ask for more!! - Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. There were 3 generations of our family in our group high school & college age, parents and grandparents. She kept us all interested and provided clear and relevant information to all of our questions. A very pleasant and engaging individual.

The ONLY tour you should take - Eliana Sandretti’s tour of Pompeii was an unparalleled journey back in time, made vivid by her profound knowledge and passionate storytelling. Her expertise brought the ancient city to life before our eyes, weaving a tapestry of history, culture, and daily life in Pompeii with the skill of a true scholar. With years of experience in the field, Sandretti answered every question with depth and detail, highlighting lesser-known facts that enriched our understanding of this historic site. Her enthusiasm for archaeology was infectious, turning what could have been a simple tour into an unforgettable, educational adventure.

A must do tour - Luciano was our guide. She was very patient with our kids and flexible in the speed of the tour. Was sensitive about how to handle the non kid friendly stuff. Recommend this tour to anyone visiting Pompei

A must do tour - Our guide was very patient with our kids. Loved the tour. We were able to cover so much in 3 hours that would have otherwise taken a whole day.
