Pompeii is an amazing place, and Rafaela is a great guide. She walked us through the city and spoke nonstop! We learned a great deal and would love to return some day.

This is a well run tour. The check in process was smooth and the tour started on time. Our tour guide Paolo was very knowledgeable, he explained everything clearly and kept it interesting. The tour was in good pace, enough time to see everything yet not stressful at all. Without a guide, we would likely be seeing all the ruins without knowing the background and history. Overall it’s a very enjoyable experience.
