Traveler reviews
Don’t use this company
Our guide Alessandro was terrible. We were a group of nine and he spoke so softly that nobody could hear him. He gave very very little information. He would just walk us from one place to another, which we could’ve done ourselves very easily. Nobody learned anything from this guide. On top of that, we had somebody in a wheelchair in our group, and he was absolutely no help and did not use accessible routes. Complete waste of money!
Great experience led by an expert
I wish to share a positive review for the tour that we took with Alessandra. I visited with my wife and two kids. Twenty years ago my wife and I had visited Pompeii (without a guide) but I think that we learned FAR more in this visit. I appreciated the chance to ask questions off Alessandra and that the group was not too large (about 10) , making it possible to do so. It was a great experience and i would recommend it to others.

How very impressive to have been here! Our tourguide (Ciro) did a fantastic job! We learned a lot and learned a lot! I would recommend this tour to anyone! Thanks Ciro!
Equipment was poor - couldn’t hear
The guide was okay, but the equipment was very poor so we couldn’t hear what she was saying. For the earphones to work, you need to be sitting 5 feet and we were 15 people so naturally couldn’t all be nearby. Otherwise, we just heard beeping. Our group decided to not use headphones, couldn’t hear, so just looked around. Many others had the same issue but there wasn’t anything the guide could do to fix it besides saying “come close”. We paid a lot for the tour to have it go to waste.
Brilliant: an Archeologist is the only way to go
Our Antonella was excellent: happy to answer our questions, gave us lots of information we wouldn't have got from a guide book. The tour was interesting,informative and fun. We really did learn an awful lot. Thank you
