Thanks Ornella for an unforgettable experience! - Ornella was simply amazing! We were on a very tight schedule and Ornella provided a 2-hour private tour for the 4 of us and it was perfect! I wish we had more time to spend but Ornella kept us on schedule and showed us the highlights during the limited time we had. She is so knowledgeable and very friendly. She avoids the crowds because she knows the ruins so well. We would definitely contact Ornella again the next time we're visiting Naples!!

Pompeii in wheelchair with Mr Gennaro - I'm a disabled person, wheelchair-bound. On September 15, with my husband and son, I was able to take a guided tour along an accessible route in the initial part of the Pompeii excavations. I would like to express a GREAT praise towards our guide, Mr Gennaro Balzano. Competent, professional, very helpful, courteous and friendly. We were delighted with a lot of interesting information, ranging from historical, artistic, technical details and some anecdotes. It made our visit an unforgettable experience, also allowing us to visit the archaeological site. All credit to him, some criticism regarding the accessibility of the site for disabled people. It does not exactly respond to the fees that are advertised by the site managers. Mr. Gennaro did everything he could to allow me the maximum.

Pompeii through the eyes of an Historian - My husband and I wanted to get the most out of our three hour tour and our PHD Historian Ornella, did not disappoint. Her in-depth knowledge of ancient civilizations added to the amazing story of Pompeii and its contributions to our present day society. Ornella comfortably answered our many questions throughout the tour. She graced us with a touch of her humor as well.

Fantastic tour! - Our guide Francesco was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Pompeii and shared wonderful stories and insights about the city, culture and the archeological aspects. He was very communicative before the tour and helped us facilitate our luggage storage and helped us get a quick taxi to Naples train station after our tour. Highly recommend this experience!

Travel through time - Ornella accompanied us with sympathy and lightness without ever being superficial in a real time travel. 4 adults and 4 children and no one was bored or felt neglected. I believe that visiting Pompeii with a guide is really an experience worth the expense and certainly we were very happy to have met Ornella. With her we saw the citizens of Pompeii moving through the teeming streets of the city and not only immobilized forever by the eruption of Vesuvius.
