Great tour

Our guide Michele was wonderful. It was great to have personal ear pieces so we could hear him clearly. He made great stops and I feel like we learned a lot and he was extremely knowledgeable. We were very pleased with the experience.

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.
