She also helped arrange transport (we were visiting while on a cruise) and recommended a delicious pizza restaurant for after our visit! Highly recommended. Fantastic guide!

We booked our tour with Carlo at very short notice, and he couldn’t have been more accommodating, offering helpful advice like the best place to park for easy access to the site. In just two hours, we learned so much about Pompeii. Carlo was incredibly engaging, sharing insights you wouldn’t find in a guidebook. We covered all the key sites, and the time flew by - it would have taken us a whole day to navigate the site on our own, and we wouldn't have covered half the sights. Carlo is a fantastic guide, kind, thoughtful, and deeply passionate. We wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with him!Fantastic Pompeii Tour!

Initially we were considering taking the tour with the audio guide- but finally decided to have a tour guide and I am so happy we did. We scheduled a private tour for a small group of five. The tour ended up being one of the high points of our trip to Italy. I would highly recommend booking a private tour for Pompeii. There is so much to learn and so much ground to cover in a trip. Carlos was awesome! We couldn’t be happier with the visit. You will learn so much more with a private tour than going on your own. Carlos made the tour interesting for all ages in our group. It is definitely worth the money to get this tour. Thanks Carlos for an awesome experience! Wonderful tour

We loved our tour with Yana and the stories she told about the eruption, the different buildings and the people who lived there. Yana made it all come to life and she answered all our questions and took noticed of our energy and needs for breaks. It was an amazing experience and most of it is thanks to Yana. If you have the means to book a private tour we absolutely recommend you to do so.When history comes to life

Communication with Carlo was excellent both before the tour & during. He speaks perfect English. He helped with what train we needed to catch from Naples & met us at the station. He was super organised with water & tickets. Carlo was extremely knowledgeable about Pompeii & could answer all our questions. His itinerary was perfect, we saw so much & he knew where to take all the good photos. He even walked us back to the train & helped us get tickets. The tour was like hanging out with an old friend! Would recommend. A perfect tour

We had a great tour of one area of Pompeii. Yana opened up the artistic and cultural side of Roman Life. She unpicked the meanings of the frescoes, particularly in the Villa of Mysteries. She was very patient and understanding of my husband’s visual issues. She was fun, informative and clearly had a great knowledge. Excellent English and good communication before the tour. An Entertaining Tour

(About local Yana)

11 mayo 2025

Yana met my family of 5 (with 3 teenagers) in a cafe to start our tour of Pompei. We had only booked a 2 hour tour, so she wanted to make sure we got to make the most of it and start before we even entered the park. Despite the crowds, we moved freely and never felt hurried or any stress from Yana at all. Her connections with park staff were clear and her demeaner was calm, inspired and steady. She was so knowledgeable and a great storyteller. She chose a perfect itinerary for the short time we had and for the group members. We felt like we got a thorough introduction to Pompei, and she picked out the most amazing additional sights to move on to without her after the tour was over. I think the only way we could have had a richer experience would have been to spend 3-4 days there to thoroughly get to know Pompei. I can't recommend Yana enough - we felt so lucky passing by the bigger tours with their headsets and the confused looks on their faces! If we are ever able to come back, I hope Yana is available to take us all around Napoli! Thanks again, Yana! Such a wonderful tour of Pompei!

It was a real pleasure to be shown Pompei by Francesco. We were 30 minutes late because of a train delay, yet he could not have been more welcoming and friendly. As a trained archaeologist, he really knew his stuff and was so enthusiastic. Bravo!Great tour with Francesco

(About local Raffaele)

4 mayo 2025

We truly loved our time with Raffaele. I doubt we would have even made it into the site without him as the entrance was total chaos on the day we went and his advance purchase of the tickets and navigation of the entry point made it so much easier. Having a private tour guide really made the experience most enriching and much better than being in a large impersonal tour group. His archeological background and intimate knowledge of the site from having worked at the digs provided invaluable depth and insight into the history of Pompeii and the lives of its unfortunate inhabitants. We were able to experience the most important areas of this immense site in the short two hours we spent with him. His tour was the highlight of visit to Sorrento and the Amalfi coast. It was well worth the cost. If you plan on visiting Pompeii, do yourself a favor and try to book Raffaele! The absolute best way to see Pompeii

I booked a Pompeii tour with Yana a few months prior to our date. I was concerned about getting from Naples train station to Pompeii with luggage and she was able to secure a car service for me. She also assisted with finding a storage for the luggage. Our two hours with her went very quickly and we did see many amazing sites. She was able to answer questions we had, even some detailed ones my husband had. She was extremely professional and engaging. We never felt like we were listening to a lecture of facts. I would highly recommend Yana for a Pompeii tour! Very knowledgeable and accommodating.

Wir hatten eine Pompejiführung bei Veronica gebucht. Bereits im Vorfeld nette und verständliche Kommunikation. Leider war Veronica kurzfristig verhindert, hat uns aber sofort eine ebenfalls deutschsprachige Vertretung organisiert und den Kontakt hergestellt! Es lief wunderbar, unser Guide Nicola hat uns zunächst trotz Bahnstreik nach Pompeji gelotst. Die Führung war höchstinteressant und wir erhielten viele Informationen und Einblicke! Wir haben in zwei Stunden sehr viel gesehen, gehört und unsere Fragen beantwortet bekommen! Ich kann jedem nur empfehlen, Pompeji mit Führung zu machen und über withlocals hat alles wunderbar geklappt! Grazie mille, Veronica und Nicola! Absolut empfehlenswert!

Our family group of 3 had a fabulous learning experience with Serena visiting Pompeii. Her extensive knowledge of the history of Pompeii is obvious along with her passion for sharing it. We all felt that Serena is among the best of tour guides that we have been with over many years of travel. When we returned to Naples for the walking tour portion and lunch she went out her way to contact a colleague and find a pizza restaurant that met the gluten free needs of one in our group. Very highly recommend Serena as you will not be disappointed!Grest experience at Pompeii with Serena!

Schon zum zweiten Mal buchten wir einen Besuch in Pompeji mit Serena. In jedem Augenblick ist die Begeisterung Serenas für Pompeji spürbar , dies springt sofort auf uns als Besucher über. Sie sucht die stillen Wege abseits der großen Reisegruppen. Die Zweistündige Führung verging wie im Flug und war in jeder Minute interessant, aufschlussreich und bereichernd. Vielen Dank noch mal für die gute Zeit.Eindrucksvolles Erleben

Dario was a great guide who helped us navigate the site and the crowds with his imaginative narrative approach, bringing daily life of the ancient city to life for us. His extensive arsenal of facts is impressive, and he made the best use of our two hours together by streamlining our stops to ensure we hit all the highlights. At times, it felt a bit rushed if I wanted to linger or take pictures in any one spot, but that was more a function of the shorter two hour time frame we requested. We appreciated how Dario worked to ensure we got to all the key attractions, and he even made suggestions for what else we could see once our time with him was over. We would highly recommend Dario for your private Pompeii tour!Pompeii with a Pro!
