RAF was charming, responsive, knowledgeable and helped bring Pompeii to life.
The scale of Pompeii is extraordinary and delightful.

Great tour guide. Her english was easy to understand and the tour was interesting. Meeting point is right outside the gate to Pompei. Thank you very much for the tour. We had a good trip
Vicki_B, Apr 2024
This was the best decision of my whole trip! If you’re going to visit and archaeological site of this magnitude, why would you do this any other way?
Catherine_J, Apr 2024
Fredrica was very knowledgeable with clear communication skills. We were lucky that the rest of the group weren't able to make it so we got a private tour.

Dear guest, thank you for the review!
Alan_L, Apr 2024
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We loved the details that she pointed out. She was very attentive to the kids in Our group to both protect them from adult content and include them as much as possible. We had no idea how large Pompeii is. It is also amazing to consider how they restored so much detail with it being buried by so much debris. And to consider how old it is is incredible.

Great guided tour with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, who clearly enjoyed transmitting the history of Pompeii to us in an engaging and fun manner. Our teens enjoyed it, which is not an easy task! Would recommend.

Thank you!!

Wonderfully enjoyable tour with our exceptional tour guide, Analisa. She was an absolute doll, extremely knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. She conducted the tour at a perfect pace, hitting all of the highlights but not missing any details. We would highly recommend her for anyone looking to book this tour!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you so much, we always try to do our best ! Grazie!

Lovely tour guide, answered all questions and gave in depth knowledge about the site. Also gave us recommendations as to where to go in the site after the tour as someone travelling with a person who has compromised mobility.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Ciao Bree, thank you for this review. Our guides love to make our guests' experience unique, and we're glad you had a good time
