Stopped in their tracks by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, Herculaneum and Pompeii offer the best look anywhere at what life in Rome must have been like around 2,000 years ago.

Everything with this experience was ideal, from the communication of the operator to the superb guide. The operator contacted us several times prior to the tour to ensure things went smoothly and to address our questions. The arranged transport was clean, modern and operated by an excellent driver. The guide provided was fantastic. She took some time to get to know us and tailored her presentation around what we knew and what we wanted to see. For instance , we told her we visited the Archeological Museum of Naples the previous evening , and she pointed out certain areas where artifacts we had seen were found. She displayed a thorough knowledge of the sights. Any questions we had were comprehensively answered. Additionally, she was very personable and seemed to enjoy being with our family and guiding us. We had only one day to see Pompeii, Herculaneum and Vesuvio. I can’t imagine seeing them in an efficient and informative manner without this service. Everything went smoothly and I feel that the value is there.

We had a nice time exploring the Pompeii, Ercolano or Herculaneum with Maria as our Guide. She guided us to the interesting places in Pompeii site with lots of information and details. For Vesuvius tour was with our van driver Luigi with smooth driving to the Mountain but unfortunately when we reached there, the site was closed earlier because of the safety reason of snowing. So took some pics at the gate and then travel back to the hotel.

Timely pickup, comfortable travel, an educational experience tailored to the guests wants. This was not a scripted tour delivered to a smaller audience. Antonio knew how to read his audience and knew how to work around the crowds. Every question you poised affected Antonio's guidance and the information he shared. If you are looking for a private tour, your biggest concern will most likely be not wanting to be subject to the speed and interest of a crowd. Many of the tours we've taken are merely that same generic tour focused on a smaller group. Antonio did not find himself burdened to stick to a script and a time schedule. He was there to give us the experience we wanted. Let's face it, that will different for everyone. I believe Antonio will not disappoint. Thank you Antonio.

This was an absolutely fantastic day trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum. We were a bit pushed fir time so Antonio adapted to our schedule to meet our requirements. Antonio also work brilliantly with our daughter who has Downs and adjusted to our requirements perfectly. All of this and he was also extremely knowledgeable and informative. I would highly recommend a tour with Antonio to anyone.
