Mount Vesuvius is a cone-shaped volcano located on the Gulf of Naples in Italy. Vesuvius is the only active volcano in mainland Europe and is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. Vesuvius has a long history of eruptions, the most famous of which was the eruption in 79 AD that destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Vesuvius is still active today and is monitored closely by scientists.
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 : )
We had a wonderful 3 hours with Roberto! He is very knowledgeable and helped us avoid the crowds (as much as possible in Pompei) while seeing incredible parts of history! We definitely recommend spending time with Roberto!
Absolutely AMAZING experience with Roberto... he helped organize a driver to meet us at the train station so that we could go up to Vesuvius and hike the crater before then being driven back to Pompeii and meeting with Roberto for a tour. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and paced the tour extremely well. His passion for history was infectious and adults and teen boys all said it was one of the best tour guides we had on our trip. Don't look further, just book with Roberto.
