We liked our tour of Pompei a lot. Our group ranged from 11 yrs old to 73 yrs old and Noemi picked the best places for us to see with grace and flexibility. She answered all our questions and gave us tips on how to get around after our tour. It is obvious that she loves her job, there's a lovely sparkle in her deli every. Fun and knowledgeable guide

We had a really super afternoon exploring Pompeii with Noemi with our three children (11, 9 & 6years). She made the afternoon fun - with a treasure hunt and knowing which places to visit in our time there. Thank you Noemi! Fun Pompeii afternoon

Noemi was amazing from the time we booked our experience. She was helpful finding tickets to the site and the right train and shuttle to get there. She was very easy to communicate with in English. Once we arrived, Noemi greeted our 3 boys (ages 6,9,11) with love. They had a great time with the scavenger hunt she setup and learned a ton during the day from all of her engaging stories. My wife and I could not have given them an experience anywhere close to what she gave them. Pompei was incredible and I know it was a much more meaningful experience with her there to guide us. We are so thankful for the job she did! -The SnydersPompei with 3 kids

Noemi could not have been more lovely and charming - she made all of us ( my wife and I and three 13 year olds) feel welcome and engaged on our journey through Pompeii. The weather was cloudy and a bit rainy but Noemi was a ray of sunshine. She shared her knowledge, her personal stories, made us laugh and sing - literally!
And she navigated our moody teens with kindness and compassion. We learned so much about the daily life of the Pompeiians as well as their tragic demise. It is a truly remarkable archeological site - mind blowing really. So glad we got to share this with Noemi! Noemi is a gem!

We had a wonderful tour of Pompeii with Noemi. We had 2 kids (9, 11), and she ensured that they were having fun and learning along the way! Noemi had a scavenger hunt ready and it was ideal for both ages. The spots she took us too were just right for our family, and gave us guidance on other spots to see once the tour was complete. We definitely recommend Noemi as a tour guide for Pompeii!!Wonderful experience

Six of us joined Noemi for a wonderful and educational tour of Pompeii. The kids (9 and 11) were so engaged with Noemi’s map and riddles, with our daughter saying it was her favorite tour in the last week! Noemi also kept the history for the adults entertaining and helped us navigate the heat and hit all the highlights. We would highly recommend this tour! Great tour for multi-generations

We are a family of four, 2 adults with 7 and 9 year old children. Noemi was so lovely, the train was raining late and we were stressed about missing the tour and she was waiting for us at the station ready to go all smiles. My kids were so happy in her explanation of Pompei’s history as she used terms they could understand and she kept them entertain the entire time. The kids felt comfortable to ask questions and loved the treasure hunt, with prizes at the end as well! Great tour would recommend to anyone with kids (and we learnt so much also) Fantastic And knowledgeable guide

It was a pleasure having Noemi as our guide. The warmth with which she greeted us put us at ease and set the tone for the tour. Her knowledge about Pompeii was vast and she imparted this without being overbearing. We learnt a lot about the history of Pompeii including hidden gems that we would not have found/known without Noemi. A great way to spend an afternoon. Informative, interesting and fun.

We had such a lovely tour of Pompeii with Noemi. She kept our girls 11, 13 & 13 engaged—answering and asking questions the entire time. She has such a passion for, not just showing people Pompeii, but letting them experience it. Pompeii itself is incredible! It’s sad, but just mind-blowing that things from so long ago are so well preserved for us to see. I highly, highly recommend this tour! Worth every penny of your money and every moment of your time. Noemi went above and beyond for our family—helping us navigate a bus back to the train station, and then places to eat in Naples, and she did is with such joy—she loves her community and helping tourists to appreciate all that her city has to offer. Just the best!

Noemi was like a whirlwind when we met up. She was very friendly and her English was very good.
The Ice Breaker was getting me to traverse the Piazza del Plebiscito Blindfolded, as prisoners were reputed to have attempted in order to gain their freedom. (I nearly made it).
Noemi was so passionate about her city, and described how it came to be as it is now, from the earliest formative volcanos, to the socio political struggles through the ages. She really brought the place to life. The "Shrine" to Maradona was a surprise, as was the varied graffiti art around the Spanish Quarter. We loved the 'Nini, Toto, Peppi" Story. Hilarious!! The Naples equivalent to "Morecambe and Wise" we think.
She rounded off the tour at the most amazing Pizza restaurant "Vincenzo Capuano", where you were given golden Scissors to cut into your Pizza.
We have come away with a desire to return and explore more of Noemi's city.
Grazie mille, mio appassionato amico. Speriamo di rivederti.Naples with a Passion!

Noemi took my son and I on a tour of Pompeii. She was absolutely fantastic. She was so knowledgeable about the rich history that she clearly was well versed on but more importantly she was so kind and warm and wonderful.

We did a treasure hunt in Pompeii with Noemi and my 11 year old loved it. She keeps saying what a lovely person Noemi is as she truly is.
The treasure hunt in Pompeii takes 3 hours and I was worried it might be too long but actually with all those interesting stories and lots to see we’d easily listen to Noemi for another hour. Time really flies.
I would recommend Noemi and the treasure hunt tour to any family with younger children. Even the adults have lots of fun!
Noemi is just great! Family tour in Pompeii with amazing Noemi

Noemi was, in a word, perfection.
She went above and beyond, helping coordinate a taxi for our large and complicated group, requesting different drop offs at different times. She even met us in Napoli Centrale to assist with our transfer!
Noemi was absolutely wonderful with the children in our group, helping them appreciate the site in a way that was really appreciated by us all. For the rest of us, she added additional explanation and was always able to answer our questions. So it wasn’t just a tour for kids.
For families traveling with children, Noemi is the absolute best. Grazie Mille, we are so glad to have seen Pompeii with you!Exceptional for adults and kids alike!

Our 2 hour tour with Noemi through Pompeii has been a highlight of our 6 week holiday. Noemi’s friendly and warm nature made us feel welcome from the first moment we met. Her stories and knowledge about Pompeii was wonderful and we learnt so much about this intriguing place. Having Noemi with us lifted our experience. She was helpful, thoughtful and kind and great with the kids. I highly recommended Noemi to anyone using Withlocals. Wonderful tour with Noemi!

Noemi arranged a tour of Pompeii for our group of 8. She met us at the cruise port in Naples and had transportation for us to and from Pompeii. We had the BEST day. Noemi is so knowledgeable and quickly became our new best friend. We saw so much of Pompeii in 2 hours, learned a lot, and had a lot of laughs along the way. At the end of the tour, she dropped us off at a delicious pizza restaurant in Naples. We highly recommend Noemi for a tour anytime you are in the Naples or Pompeii area.Excellent private tour of Pompeii

Noemi was amazing. Her tour of Pompeii was excellent. She was informative and interesting. She was brilliant with the children, aged 9 and 11, and kept them engaged the entire time. She had maps for the kids with a treasure hunt as we went through the Pompeii site. She was great at keeping in touch before and after the tour and gave us great tips for seeing Naples as well. If we could have stayed longer, we would have done a tour of Naples with her also. Fantastic guide!

My family consists of my husband, myself, and our three daughters ( ages 9, 11, and 13 ). We booked a private tour with Noemi to see Pompeii and Herculaneum. I cannot convey in this short review what a wonderful tour guide and overall wonderful person Noemi is. Prior to even arriving to Italy, Noemi took the time to communicate with us through the withlocals app and ensure everything we needed was set up in advance. We traveled from Rome to Naples via train and Noemi met us at the train station and had a large taxi waiting for us to use as our transportation throughout the day. Noemi was incredibly knowledgeable and informative about the sites. She was funny and brought candy for the kids to snack on and bracelets for souvenirs. My youngest was very hot as we were visiting in summer and Noemi was so attentive and loving with her. We had a great time and that is 100% thanks to Noemi. You can't go wrong with any tour provided by Noemi and I can't thank her enough for the memories my family will always have.Best tour guide ever

Noemi waited for us after our arrival time was delayed due to a train strike. Noemi then spent over 2 hours showing us around Pompeii. Explaining the history of the place in general and then the life & times of people in Pompeii. Each room or area we visited were explained clearly. We had teenagers with us (13 and 14) and the information entertained them as well. Noemi took care of us in the hot and humid conditions. In addition she gave us tips on places to eat and food to try whilst in Naples.
A fantastic morning. Amazing guide. Pompeii met and exceeded all our expectations. Thanks Noemi for making it such an awesome time. Amazing tour in Pompeii

Our family spent the morning with Noemi touring Pompeii. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience and Noemi. Our three girls ages 5,7,10 cannot stop talking about her. She is one of the kindest humans I have ever met and I wish we could tour all of Italy with her. She went out of her way to make our time with her extra special. Her knowledge of Pompeii is extensive and she provided my husband and I with so many interesting facts while keeping the girls entertained with riddles and scavenger hunts. She even met up with us in Naples later in the day to give a small gift to my oldest daughter as they both love to make bracelets. Noemi is truly excellent and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Absolutely amazing

We really enjoyed the food tour. It was a great opportunity to explore Naples and sample the local food and drink and get an insight into the culture.
The only disappointment is that the food tour had to be cut short and that we didn't get a chance to sample all 10 of the food and drink. Great food tour of Naples.

Noemi’s tour of Pompeii for my three children and me was fantastic! Noemi is very knowledgeable, speaks good English, and had many informative insights that I doubt we would have heard during the standard audio tour. She is also engaging, conscientious, and fun to be with. We had to reschedule the tour we originally booked due to a conflict of the original guide. Noemi was very communicative throughout the rebooking process, gave us good advice about the best way to arrive at the site, and met us at the train station as soon as we arrived. All in all, a great experience. We highly recommend Noemi!Awesome tour of Pompeii with Noemi

We are two couples who wanted to explore Naples with a gun guide.
Noemi was wonderful, smiley, uplifting and knowledgeable. We really had a fun tour with her and enjoyed some great pizzas and desserts 🍨 as well! Fun day 😀
After the tour ended she still text us a few times to see how we were doing along with our trip.
Personally is everything, and Noemi has plenty of it. We travel all over the world constantly and hire guides. I can assure and highly recommend this one! 👍🏻Napoli’s Sweetest and most Adorable host!!

Die gesamte Tour war von Anfang bis zum Ende einfach super toll. Noemi hat sich so viel Mühe gegeben uns auf kindliche Art die Geschichte näher zu bringen. Und so ist sie uns schon nach kurzer Zeit ans Herz gewachsen.
Wir können nur jedem eine Tour mit Noemi empfehlen. Es lohnt sich sehr. Wundervolle Tour durch Pompeij
