Mount Vesuvius Tours en Capri

Roberto went above and beyond, even helping us secure a transfer when we learned that the regional train we were planning was usually late. His in depth knowledge of Pompeii brought the city to life for us. He is also very personable with a quick sense of humor. He also was very flexible and accommodating when you travel partner was having some struggles with the weather. Highly recommend, Roberto!

After many years, finally a visit to Pompeii with an archologist (not just a tour guide hired by a travel or cruise outfit), who could point out the less obvious aspects of fragments of an ancient culture/civilization or stone walls . . . Roberto brought to our collective experience an insight, breath of knowledge, and willingness to answer the mundane and “strange” questions posed by members of our foursome. He also acknowledged the experiences/knowledge of individuals within the group of four that he shepherded around Pompeii for three hours under clear hot blue skies, taking time to rest, find shady spots to explain aspects of the pre-roman, roman and post-eruption history of Pompeii. We got to see, experience the lesser visited portions of the archeological site as well as the main touristy portions – The Forum. The companions of this excursion were most enthusiastic and very satisfied with the overall outing, including Roberto’s arranging for a shuttle driver to pick us up and returning us to our cruise ship docking in Naples. The only regret that I had, that the tour “only” lasted three hours, I could have continued to explore Pompeii in the company of Roberto, till the sun set over Vesuvius and the Archeological Park threw us out . . . ah, maybe next time . . .

A friend and I arranged to hire Roberto to guide us in both Herculaneum and Pompei. His background and experience provided us with a lot of detailed information about the archeology and history of both sites. He was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and flexible. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with him and found the experience to be exceptional!

I visited Pompei 20 years ago on the free group tour and had always wanted to go back, as there was so much more I wanted to see. It was wonderful to get a chance to do this with Roberto as our private guide. He took great care to find out what we were interested in seeing and recommended rearranging the day of our tour (which we did) to ensure all the newer sites would be open. Seeing Pompei with Roberto was truly fascinating and felt like I was seeing Pompei for the first time again! I also learned so much more than I did on my last visit. As well as being an interesting and expert guide, Roberto gave us a great tip for our visit to Herculaneum the following day, and a new food exhibition which we could access with our entrance ticket. This wasn’t advertised at Herculaneum (or mentioned by the guide there), so we wouldn’t have known about it otherwise. We were so glad that we saw it and thankful to Roberto for his recommendation. Without a doubt, his tour of Pompei was the highlight of our holiday and we will definitely book him for future trips : )
