Carla was an amazing tour guide providing us with just the right level of information. The sites gave us a good understanding of Pompeii life and its destruction. We had our family of 6 with 2 grandchildren, 8 and 11. Carla was not only interactive at the adult level but engaged the children in a very fun and educational manner. She was aware of the need for shade and water during this hot July weather. Highly recommend Carla and this tour.

Our family had a tour with Lia at Pompeii, and it was absolutely amazing!!! Our train was delayed so we had to start late, and Lia waited for us and was so accommodating. She managed to still fit in the highlights and entertained our younger kids the whole time. The booking process was also easy, and the company gave us very specific instructions on where to meet our guide. I would definitely recommend this tour and LivTours.

My family did a private Pompeii tour and Fran was our guide. She was fantastic and very informative. Fran was extremely knowledgeable with the Italian culture and also provided us with top restaurant recommendations and a nice itinerary. The next time my family does a Sorrento trip, we will be requesting Fran!

Francesca was a great guide. Warm and friendly and very knowledgeable about Pompeii. It was worth the money to have a private tour, because she tailored the afternoon around our desires. Well done Francesca!

We had a wonderful tour of Pompéi. Fran was very friendly, welcoming, and informative throughout the experience. She shared fascinating details about the history of the site and brought the ruins to life in a way that was easy to understand and enjoy. She also did a great job guiding us around the crowds and was very thoughtful about finding shade during a hot morning, which made the tour much more comfortable. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and care made the visit even more memorable. Highly recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful experience with Analisa! She geared the tour very well for both the enjoyment of the adults and children, and gave us plenty of time while still keeping a good pace. We learned a lot and it really enriched our enjoyment of such an amazing archeological site. My son had a great time and is looking at the pop-up book that was his gift right now!

I booked directly through the LivTours website. Any questions I had were answered quickly and timely. The directions on where to meet our guide were perfect. When we got there Marianne was waiting for us with a smile on her face. She kept the tour informative but fun for the kids. She was so patient when the kids got a little antsy and just rolled with the punches. Anytime my son asked a question she answered it and would take us to the area of Pompeii where he was asking about. I would recommended her to anyone. Thank you for making our day in Pompeii so memorable.
