A journey back two thousand years. - Also this visit, due during our stay on the Coast, proved to be a pleasant surprise for the organization in all its details. Of course, the greatest praise goes to our companion - Eraldo - who introduced us to the atmosphere of the time so that before our eyes we could see the images of life more than two thousand years ago. It was two hours spent in a flash thanks to Eraldo's mastery of the subject and captivating speech, example of great professionalism. Unmissable experience. Diego and Patrizia from Trieste

Pompeii tour - What to say, Pompeii is a wonderful discovery. Telling the story of a disappeared city, with simplicity and irony in a few hours is always a difficult Enterprise, but not for Annalisa, who with her simplicity, her smile and her grace has projected us into a journey into the past.

A safe guide to a fascinating journey into the past - Our expert, Eraldo, is really very prepared. Having arrived early I was also able to enjoy a conversation between him and some colleagues during which the great competence and passion for the work they do emerged. The group was not too large and we could see some of the most spectacular parts of the archaeological park with an accurate description that took us back in time, to the time when Pompeii was alive and represented an important commercial center of the Roman Empire. The two-hour duration is ideal for maintaining high concentration. Then, whoever wants, can continue to explore the site at will.
