My wife and I toured... - My wife and I toured Pompeii with Angelo… I can’t recommend him highly enough! He made the city come alive with his insights as a volcanologist and his strategic maneuvering to avoid the crowds. We were able to soak in the biggest hot spots without crowds because of the way he moved is through the site. Truly a wonderful time enjoying and learning from him as well as his humor throughout. Go with Angelo!

Best tour of Pompeii! - Francesco was wonderful! He made the experience very memorable, sharing interesting stories about the history and life of the ancient Romans in Pompeii. This tour is well worth the money and we would recommend it to everyone. It includes the skip-the-line ticket which some of the other tours do not. I went with my fiance, mother, and father, and we all enjoyed it very much.

Pompeii guide is very beneficial - Pompeii is huge - You need a guide. We had 12 in our group. Alberto was wonderful and easy to understand. He had great information and made sure we were all gathered around close by so we could all hear (and he tried to keep us in the shade as much as possible). I can see how you could spend all day at Pompeii but having a guide to take you to the highlights in just a few hours was very beneficial. Alberto was fanstactic.

Highly recommend! - We had an incredible time at Pompeii, and it was greatly due to our wonderful GUIDE SASO! (I wish I remembered how to spell his name.) We learned so much and enjoyed Saso's demeanor and humor. He brought each person into the tour in a way that everyone felt included. Pompeii is an underrated experience. I had no idea how interesting and beautiful it is. This group did a great job with planning and executing the tour. Our family was traveling with my mother, who has some trouble walking, making Pompeii challenging. However, she had always dreamed of seeing this wonder of ancient history. Saso ensured she was supported, cared for, and made to feel special the entire 2.5 hours. We all had an incredible time. I highly recommend.

We really enjoyed the... - We really enjoyed the tour. Angelo did a wonderful job showing us around. He was knowledgeable and very respectful of the fact that Pompeii is essentially a graveyard and we should be respectful of the environment there. He showed us all the main things to see and was patient and made the tour very interesting. Thank you Angelo.
