Superb! - Our tour of Pompeii was an excellent insight into the history of Pompeii. Lalo our Gide and archaeologist was an amazing person and really helped us learn more about the incredible city. It was a very educational experience and we all went away with a lot of knowledge about the city. In conclusion, it was an excellent and very informative experience and I would 100% recommend Lalo.

This tour is an absolute must! - Our private tour of Pompeii was an incredible experience that far exceeded our expectations. We were blown away by the sheer size of the ancient city — it truly felt like walking through a living, breathing snapshot of Roman life frozen in time. It’s hard to grasp just how expansive and advanced the city was until you’re actually there, and having a knowledgeable guide made all the difference.
Our guide, Nello, was exceptionally well-informed and passionate about Pompeii’s history, architecture, and daily life. He brought the ruins to life with vivid stories, historical context, and thoughtful commentary that connected everything we were seeing. From the villas and bathhouses to the amphitheater and bustling streets, every stop along the way was made even more engaging by the Nello’s insights.
What we appreciated most was how approachable and flexible he was — always ready to answer questions, dive deeper into topics that intrigued us, and tailor the experience based on our curiosity and pace.
We left Pompeii with a newfound appreciation for the sophistication of ancient Roman civilization and a deeper understanding of its tragic yet fascinating story. This tour is an absolute must for anyone visiting southern Italy — and doing it with a private guide, Nello, made it all the more impactful.

Excellent and highly entertaining and interesting - Lello was a truly fantastic guide - so knowledgeable and so entertaining - we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Would highly recommend this as he took us to places somewhat off the beaten track and with real inside information. Thank you!

First rate experience - Outstanding private tour! AMAZING. We did a private tour with our three teenage kids and we all loved it. Tour guide ( I think Rosanna? ) was absolutely fantastic. It was the perfect amount of time for us.
I recommend the morning if possible- less crowds and a little cooler if you are there in the summer. Highly recommend!!

Private Tours of Pompeii with Rosanna - magnifico! - Our family group of 15 had the pleasure and good fortune to have Rosanna as our guide for the half-day Pompeii tour in mid-July. As was mentioned in every review with Rosanna as their guide, she is indeed warm, extremely knowledgeable, and without a doubt absolutely passionate about what she does. We had 5 young people in our group spanning in age from 6 to 15 and she addressed each one of them ( as well as the adults) in some manner throughout the tour, with both warmth and humor. In fact, the 15 yr. old teenage young man commented while touring the Colosseum days later that their guide was “no Rosanna”!
So much to see and as always, never enough time, but Rosanna certainly did her optimal best in sharing Pompeii with us … we can’t recommend this tour nor her highly enough. Grazie mille Rosanna da Hawaii e California ❤️🌴🌺!!

Ok but lacking in information - While the tour was good I felt our guide didn't share much information with us. She showed us around Pompeii and we did indeed get to see the most important parts of it which was good as it is very big and we might have missed them had we not had a guide but she didn't talk much at all about any history or the day to day lives of how people lived. I was hoping for some more history! Not just to be shown around with things pointed out. I might not have been as disappointed if the cost wasn't so much. Personally the small group tours we have done in the past have been much better so will be sticking to those in the future!
