Pompeii Brought to Life

5.00Pompeii is an extraordinary site on its own, but without our guide we would have completely missed its soul. We felt incredibly lucky to have Tomaso as our guide. We skipped only the lines—never the amazing stories. The tour was not only informative but also incredibly entertaining and funny. We laughed a lot! Tomaso made everything vivid and easy to imagine, constantly giving relatable examples and bringing the ancient city to life. He included everyone in the group, keeping us engaged from start to finish. Thanks to him, Pompeii felt alive, not just like ruins, and the experience was truly unforgettable.
Very Good Tour, Highly recommended

5.00It was a perfect day. Sun, spring temperature and a blast from history. Biagio, our guide, is very prepared and managed to make us well imagine the lifestyle of old Pompeii. Visit of about two hours passed quickly between its stories and the beauties of the excavations.
Recommended!
