Unforgettable visit to Pompeii with Nello!

We were delighted with our private tour of Pompeii with Nello, a passionate archaeologist who speaks French very well and who gave us so much valuable information about the ancient City (I wrote everything down when I got back to the hotel in the evening!) Furthermore, he helped me a lot with kindness throughout the visit because I have some mobility issues and it is not very easy to get around in Pompeii when you have walking difficulties! But thanks to Nello, everything went wonderfully well and we are entirely satisfied!! Thanks again for this beautiful visit ❤️

Nicoletta is a star!

My family had a fabulous time with Nicoletta! She was wonderfully informative and did a great job guiding us through the site. Her passion for archaeology was clear, which really brought the history to life. My family spent a long time after the tour discussing our favorite moments and talking about everything that we learned.

Amazing day at Pompeii

My family and I had a great time on our tour of Pompeii with Marily. She is a great guide - very knowledgeable and personable. She showed us interesting highlights and shared a lot of great knowledge throughout the tour. It is clear that she is interested in the history of the area and her enthusiasm made the tour that much more enjoyable for us. I would highly recommend this personal tour to get the most out of a visit to Pompeii.
