Excavations of Herculaneum - Roberta has led us to every place of the excavations of Herculaneum illuminating us both from a historical and artistic point of view. His deep expertise in the subject combined with a marked gift of friendliness and sympathy did not make even the children who were with Us tire. Guide prepared and competent. Highly recommended.

Herculaneum Tour - Roberta was great - we gained a real insight in to the history of Herculaneum. Roberta was considerate of the children and ensured we were in the shade as much as possible. A fantastic experience.

This is a must see! - Roberta was amazing. She was knowledgeable, passionate, easy to understand. Her tour made Herculaneum come to life- she painted the picture so clearly that you could practically see the ancient Romans in their homes, living their lives. What an incredible experience!!! This was the best tour we’ve had, and we have toured every day of our vacation.

Excellent Tour of Herculaneum and Pompeii - Roberta is a brilliant, enthusiastic, and thoughtful guide. Our family (2 adults and two teenagers) did a private tour of Herculaneum and of Pompeii with Roberta — seeing both sites was an incredible experience and we so appreciated having such a knowledgeable, engaging expert painting such a detailed and interesting picture of these important places. She also gave us helpful information about the archeological museum in Napoli, which we planned to see the next day, to view many artifacts from these sites. Highly recommend!
