5.00One of the most knowledgeable guides we have ever used. I highly recommend her. She made sure that our tour would meet our expectations by asking us what we wanted to learn and see. She has a PhD in archaeology and we were able to see Pompeii with her explaining to us the incredible history.
Great trip to Pompeii with a great guide – Luisa.

5.00Luisa was a great tour guide! One of the best if not the best that we’ve ever had in our last five years of traveling. She was very attentive to all of us, very informative about Pompeii, and interacted with us like we had known her for years. We really enjoyed her knowledge, locations she chose to show us, and the pace in which we did the entire tour. My wife and I had been to Pompeii in 2023, and one of the things we liked about today is that Louisa showed us a number of new locations in Pompeii that we had not seen three years ago. I would highly recommend Luisa to anyone that wanted to use your tour group. Scott R

5.00This was a great experience. My tour guide Maria was very knowledgeable. There was no admission fee on the first Sunday of the month. My tour was 3 hours long and a perfect amount of time to see all the prominent things. I could have spent a bit more time on my own just looking, the park is so big but my time was overall amazing.
Amazing tour with Eliana

Amedeo is Lovely

5.00We had Amedeo as our tour guide and he was fantastic. He was right when he said that 2 hours would only scratch the surface, but he put so much thought into how we used that 2 hours. It was also so refreshing to see someone so in love with their craft. He genuinely had a respect for the place and seemed to read scientific papers on the site in his spare time. I would love to sit and pick his brain for even longer next time. I am absolutely going to take his advice and come back to ingest this place a second time. My heart felt so inspired after this visit.
Instructive and fun

Perfect time in Pompeii

5.00My daughter and I visited Pompeii this summer, and we had the pleasure of touring the site with our guide, Mariagrazia. She was absolutely wonderful—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of captivating stories. Some of her tales were fun and lighthearted, while others were more somber, but each one brought the ancient ruins vividly to life in our imagination. Thanks to her storytelling, we could almost picture what daily life must have been like in Pompeii before the eruption. My daughter was deeply impressed as well, and we both left with a lasting appreciation for the history and humanity behind the ruins. I highly recommend Mariagrazia to anyone visiting Pompeii—she truly makes the past come alive.
Worth it!

5.00My father, sister and I were fortunate enough to have a tour of Pompeii with Mariagrazia. She has a wealth of knowledge and is clearly passionate about the history. Highly recommend.
Very good job, Eliana!

5.00Eliana was our tour guide in Pompei in June 2025. We were a group of 22 scientists from around the world. Her expertise was impressive and she let arise Roman life in Pompei 2000 years ago in front of our eyes as if we were part of it. She also managed to organise the tour in a way that allowed us to avoid a clash with large tourist crowds and yet see a maximum of the historic site. Due to this fact we could also enjoy many a sight of the place without masses of people and imagine all the better how ancient life must have been. As an archeologist working in Pompei her knowledge was profound and she was able to give us a detailed insight into the historic site but also in the work of those trying to maintain this outstanding place. Thank you Eliana! I can only highly recommend a tour with her.
