We had a delightful and informative visit to Herculaneum with Raffaele. He emphasized how tragic the eruption in 79 CE was for the residents, who fled to the water for safety. It was sad to see skeletons of bodies that were pushed into the walls by the sea. The temperature of the air was estimated to be so high that wooden beams all around the town turned to carbon rather than burning. We were surprised how many of the buildings were two stories. Raffaele showed us all the highlights of the ruins and wall paintings and mosaic fountains. It was fascinating to learn about the history and culture from a trained archaeologist. After the visit, he recommended we try a restaurant in Sorrento, so we headed there and had a lovely lunch at a seaside restaurant. Highly recommend a visit, tour or other heritage exploration with Raffaele.

Terrific tour of Pompei
Raffaele was a terrific guide for our visit to Pompei today. The site is so big, but by the end of our two-hour private tour, we had seen many important sites and learned a lot about the history of Pompei and the eruption of Vesuvius that preserved so much of the city. Raffaele was very much at ease with all the material, his archeology background and education (PhD) shining through. His presentation really made all the difference to us in making sense of the Pompei site and knowing where to look and what to find. We would highly recommend visiting Pompei with him!

Amazing and worth every penny
Raffaele was a true pleasure to work with and his knowledge was amazing. We learned so much, we had laughs and even some very somber moments. You can hear and see his passion for this piece of history and the people that lost their lives there.
I would definitely recommend him

About local
Raffaelle was an excellent guide for our small group of 3 for both Pompeii and Herculaneum . He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about not only the archeological ruins but also the ancient Roman culture and civilizations, and the different impact the volcanic eruption had on both locations. The result was a fascinating presentation that was delivered in a respectful and compassionate manner. He was fluent in English, efficient making the best use of the time and was able to maneuver us smoothly around the large group tours.
