Pompei

After the crowd has ultimately departed from the area, that’s the moment! The lighting for your photos will be splendid, and the park will be nearly deserted — not to mention cooler temperatures.

Great visit for the 2,5 hours that we had available. - Great experience! Glauco was very nice and knew a lot of things about the site. We would have enjoyed even more time with him but sadly we only had 2,5 hours until closing. Glauco has an exciting way of presenting the site and kept us curious all the way. Thank you Glauco!

Pompei at 74! - Thanks so much to Glauco for an amazing tour! Your knowledge about the site and your friendly and lighthearted manner made the trek through ancient history, and some very big cobblestones a pleasure. Mille grazie!

Excellent tour in the ruins of Pompeii - My wife and I booked a tour for the Pompeii ruins and we were very happy to have Glauco as our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the site’s history and told us very interesting details about the buildings we were visiting. We learned so much about the site and some of the aspects of the daily life of the people who lived there. It was also neat to learn more from the always interesting stories from the Roman mythology. Glauco is also very professional and attentive. He made sure we would have a great experience by taking us on paths to avoid the crowds and giving us time to take pictures at the prime locations. We are very happy to have booked this tour with Glauco. It definitely made the experience at Pompeii much more entertaining and purposeful. We would definitely recommend this to our friends.

Wonderful tour of Pompeii - Glauco is a trained and competent guide, as well as being a kind and extremely helpful person. The tour of Pompeii was a splendid discovery and I recommend it to everyone because as he says "a guide serves to resurrect the past" and Glauco knows how to do it very well.

Excellent guide for Pompei - I think that’s it’s pretty much essential to have a guide in order to fully enjoy Pompeii and Glauco wasn’t just ‘a’ guide but an ‘excellent’ guide. The hidden details are what he brings to life plus he is also able to answer any questions that pop up. He’s friendly and kind and you feel very much taken care of. 100% recommend him.

BEST OF NAPOLI (Glauco) - EXCELLENT!! EXCITING!! KNOWLEDGABLE!! Glauco has been the best guide I have ever had the pleasure of touring with. He is a local of Napoli with extensive knowledge of the area and people. Throughout my first experience in Italy, Glauco created an environment of learning and fun. To be honest, my first impressions of Napoli were not great UNTIL Glauco met us and really flipped my world upside down in the best ways. My brother and I are grateful for him and you will be too. Tell him what you like, and he will make sure you have the best time. You will share laughs, learn facts, and see things as if you are a local IF you use Glauco. Napoli is truly a beautiful place with culture, history, fantastic food, and great people like Glauco. Grazie Glauco, ciao for now. Until next year.

Outstanding tour of Pompeii - Made a booking on the same day with Glauco to visit the Pompeii ruins in the afternoon. Initially we had some miscommunication as Glauco didn’t realize it was a same day reservation, but thankfully we were in touch via WhatsApp and he was very quick to respond and still met us on time. The tour itself was quick to start; unlike other guided tours where they burn 30 minutes at first going through instruction, we dove head first into viewing Pompeii. Glauco efficiently and expertly led us through all the main and important sites and explained in very clear and precise language the cultural and historical significance of all the landmarks in addition to pointing out some myths. I would absolutely highly recommend Glauco as your guide for Pompeii; excellent English, ability to explain and answer questions on the fly and absolutely committed to making sure guests have an excellent experience even helping with the logistics of getting back to our hotel. Grazie mille Glauco for a superb tour of Pompeii!
