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!

5.00Eliana 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.
Amazing Tour

5.00It was absolutely beautiful! My dreams were fulfilled of seeing many sites I’ve heard about for a long time, and I was able to take pictures for my Latin students. The guide was so informative, and she clearly knew so much more than she had time to tell us about. She was able to answer any question we had. She was lovely, and her name was Mariagracia.
Luisa was the best! Our favorite tour of our trip.

5.00Luisa was absolutely INCREDIBLE! She was exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, kind and fantastic with our four young kids. Of all the guided tours we long trip in Europe, she was by far our favorite! We wouldn’t have understood a fraction of what we saw without her.
First time in Pompeii
