Fantastic Private Guided Tour of Pompeii

We had a wonderful private guided tour of Pompeii with our guide, Fran, and couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Fran was incredibly knowledgeable and brought Pompeii’s history to life with her fascinating explanations and stories. She clearly knows the site inside and out, but what really made the tour special was her fantastic personality. She was warm, friendly, engaging and made the whole experience enjoyable for our entire family. She was happy to answer all our questions and made sure we got the most out of our time in Pompeii without ever making the tour feel rushed. A truly excellent guide who made our visit to Pompeii memorable. Thank you so much, Fran — you were fantastic! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting Pompeii.

Excellent tour

This was an excellent tour. We were a group of 12 ranging from ages 12 to my mom who is 93 and uses a walker. Maria guided the tour so it was accessible to all and she helped us avoid the crowds. She is a true historian. Her knowledge of everything regarding Pompeii was so impressive and really made the tour so interesting and memorable. This is my third time using Liv Tours and they have always been great.
