Excellent private tour with Luisa for my young family - Our young family with kids aged 5 and 10 had a private guided tour of Pompeii with our excellent guide Luisa. She was relaxed and engaging with the children, telling them stories of gladiators, soldiers and shop keepers that they've been repeating back over the holiday. Pompeii is huge and having a private tour meant we could see the things that would most interest us in our short time there. I would highly recommend Luisa to anyone looking to explore and learn more about Pompeii and its history.

A moving and fascinating day in Pompeii - Our guide, Luisa, was knowledgeable, engaging and enthusiastic about all aspects of the history, archeology and everyday life of Pompeii. She encouraged our questions and we had wonderful conversation with her. She made our trip most memorable and we highly recommend her as a seasoned guide.

Great tour in Pompeii - Our guide gave us a very nice explanation of all the beauty that can be seen in Pompeii. Not only what can be seen, but also how it should be placed in everyday life, Greek and Roman history and even links to our current life. We enjoyed it, and the three hours flew by. It's worth repeating.

Excellent. Worth all the time you have. We spent the most interesting and lovely afternoon with Mariagrazie. - Mariagrazie took us to every spot we knew and wanted to see as well as all the spots we didn’t know. She is delightful and most importantly was able to answer our questions and indulge every interest. Brava!

Great communication and expertise - Mariagrazia is a consumate professional, and through her archaeological qualifications and work, she is able to deliver a depth of information where other tour guides barely scratch the surface. Also, she resists any intimidation to move on before she has fully explained what the group was viewing. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience in Pompei.

This tour doesn’t include tickets!!!! - This tour doesn’t include tickets. So “skip the line” is only for people who have bought the tickets. You will need to purchase your tickets before you arrive in order to “skip the line.” The advertising is very misleading. With all the being said the tour guide was wonderful. She was educational and easy to understand.
