Excellent and highly entertaining and interesting - Lello was a truly fantastic guide - so knowledgeable and so entertaining - we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Would highly recommend this as he took us to places somewhat off the beaten track and with real inside information. Thank you!

First rate experience - Outstanding private tour! AMAZING. We did a private tour with our three teenage kids and we all loved it. Tour guide ( I think Rosanna? ) was absolutely fantastic. It was the perfect amount of time for us. I recommend the morning if possible- less crowds and a little cooler if you are there in the summer. Highly recommend!!

Private Tours of Pompeii with Rosanna - magnifico! - Our family group of 15 had the pleasure and good fortune to have Rosanna as our guide for the half-day Pompeii tour in mid-July. As was mentioned in every review with Rosanna as their guide, she is indeed warm, extremely knowledgeable, and without a doubt absolutely passionate about what she does. We had 5 young people in our group spanning in age from 6 to 15 and she addressed each one of them ( as well as the adults) in some manner throughout the tour, with both warmth and humor. In fact, the 15 yr. old teenage young man commented while touring the Colosseum days later that their guide was “no Rosanna”! So much to see and as always, never enough time, but Rosanna certainly did her optimal best in sharing Pompeii with us … we can’t recommend this tour nor her highly enough. Grazie mille Rosanna da Hawaii e California ❤️🌴🌺!!

Worth every penny - 100% worth it. After doing some group tours in rome, it was very nice to have a private guide for my wife and I. Rosanna, our guide, was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and you could tell how much she loved Pompeii even after 35 years of leading tours. Getting to skip the line was also nice. We spent about 2 hours with our guide and she showed us her favorite parts of the site. She also gave us recommendations of things to explore on our own.

Outstanding Pompeii Private Tour - Our private guide, Itolo, was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. He brought Pompeii to life for us and made sure we saw the most important aspects of the site.

Ok but lacking in information - While the tour was good I felt our guide didn't share much information with us. She showed us around Pompeii and we did indeed get to see the most important parts of it which was good as it is very big and we might have missed them had we not had a guide but she didn't talk much at all about any history or the day to day lives of how people lived. I was hoping for some more history! Not just to be shown around with things pointed out. I might not have been as disappointed if the cost wasn't so much. Personally the small group tours we have done in the past have been much better so will be sticking to those in the future!
