Amazing Tour! - We booked the two-hour tour with Lello after a friend highly recommended him. Our family had the best experience. After 9 days in the Naples area, our 15-year-old daughter said Pompeii and the tour with Lello was the highlight of the entire trip. He was so knowledgeable and engaging. We had two extra hours afterward to explore Pompeii, and we followed all of his tips. What an amazing experience!

Highlight of my holiday - We had a great time on our private tour around Pompeii with Italo- he was a brilliant guide, really knew his stuff and had a nice relaxed style too. Obviously the site is massive so we didn’t get to see everything on the tour, but we saw some of the main headlines and it helped having a guide to point out all of the little details that you’d easily miss on your own. Once the tour was completed Italo left us in the forum area and showed us how the grid system worked and that meant that we could use the map provided to go and see other bits of the site that the tour hadn’t included. A great experience.

Excellent small group tour with an archaeologist - Our guide Llello (not sure how to spell it) was excellent. He was incredibly knowledgeable and delivered the tour with a sense of humour. Well worth it and to be highly recommended.

Fabulous - This was our best tour in Italy. Crowds were okay, the pace allowed for questions and our tour guide was fabulous. She taught us a bit about archaeology that inspired curiosity in our group and was able to go beyond basics. Loved it.

Pompei private tour - Brilliant tour held by a very knowledgeable guide (Lello). He made it fun informative, intuitive and above all a fully enjoyable experience and showed us many things we would not have otherwise known, he was very interesting and interactive with us thru out the tour. I would strongly recommend this tour and save your time just wondering around !, without knowing the history of the place and get to the most important parts without knowing the reason why pompei was, what it was, and why. All I can say is brilliant

Lello was the best guide! - The tour was amazing. Lello as a guide was perfect. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and interesting. He was like the mayor of Pompeii. Having the perspective from an archeologist made the people of Pompeii come to life. If you can ask for him, do it!

Tour with an experienced and knowledgeable guide in a small group! Best experience - Taking a small group tour of Pompeii with an archaeologist guide was money well spent! Our guide Italo was so knowledgeable and armed with a wealth of information we would never have known or noticed on our own. The frescoes and streets came alive once the information behind them was shared with us. He cleverly avoided the crush of larger groups being herded through the ruins. I’ve been to Pompeii several times but my teacher friend hadn’t and she was thrilled with our tour.

Amazing Tour with Unbelievable Guide - Lello was phenomenal during the tour. It was engaging and informative and he was quite knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend this tour and Lello. For the price it was amazing and frankly would have paid double.

Excellent guide and fascinating tour - Italo was a great tour guide and I loved learning about the city and it's excavation. Definitely worth getting a small group and skip the queue for the smoothest experience.
