- Tony was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Pompeii and Herculaneum. We really didn’t know what to expect from our visit, but Tony’s tour brought the place to life and there was so many interesting things to see that we would’ve completely missed without Tony’s knowledge. What made the tour even better was that he’s a great guy! Super friendly and down to earth, and he was happy to answer any questions we had throughout the tour.

Toni is an exceptional guide and we had an outstanding experience as a result - We had two outstanding tours with Toni; Pompeii on one day and Herculaneum on another. His deep knowledge and meticulous preparation, passion for the history and archeology, scholarship and wonderful story telling brought the sites alive for us. Without his expertise we would have missed so much. But with his help we were able to focus on and understand so much better the importance and context of the particular building or issue he was discussing. I’d first met Toni 6 months ago when he gave my daughter and I a private tour of Pompeii. This had been outstanding- despite huge crowds and intense heat. So when my partner and I came to the area again this January he was my first choice guide. And we were lucky he could schedule us. There’s so much to see and explore in this area of Italy and I will contact Toni again when we return.

Unforgettable tour of Pompeji - We have just had a tour of Pompeji with Tony. First and foremost he is the most amazing guide and really brought the history and people of Pompeji to life, his storytelling was mesmerising and has left a lasting impression with all of us. On top of that he took great care to make the tour enjoyable for us specifically as my dad was struggling to get around a bit and Tony was kind and compassionate and tailored the experience so we all got the most out of it. An unforgettable experience, thank you so much, Tony! Go book him now!

Happy with personal tour - I was limited on time. Guide Tony planned out 8 hour tour that hit all the highlights. We did a partial tour of the Amalfi Coast , stopping in Amalfi for a look around, coffee, & a pastry. Then on to Pompeii Archeological site. Tony was very knowledgeable, interesting, and well paced, based on my time schedule. Very worthwhile.

Private guided tour of Pompei and Herculaneum - Tony was fantastic, met us off the train and even dropped us near to our hotel on the return. He was very knowledgable, and gave us a full history and stories of life in Pompeii around the time of the earthquake and great eruption. We enjoyed his friendly and amusing tour so much we used him again for a tour of Herculaneum. Highly recommend him for your tours. Grazie Mille Tony

Fantastic Pompeii experience - We really enjoyed our guided tour with Tony as we only had 3 hours in Pompeii, he showed us all the main points of interest with the time we had. We didn’t feel rushed and he really was knowledgeable about Pompeii and its history. He also made it fun with some humor along the way. I would highly recommend To y and his team!! 5 Star all the way.
