5.00We did an amazing tour with Felicia and cannot recommend her enough!!! Felicia is a wonderful person who, with her knowledge and passion, brings you back to that time. Our group of four included a grandmother, a middle-aged lady, a teenager, and a child....Felicia, with her vast experience and engaging way of explaining, brought each of us, despite our different ages, into the same world....so fascinating, so interesting, so simply beautiful!☺️ Felicia guided us through Pompeii, showing us ancient streets with shops, the Amphitheatre, houses with mosaics showcasing local style, walls tagged with graffiti, the haunting exhibition of casts, the Forum... and so much more. She shared interesting anecdotes about life in ancient Pompeii that kept our attention the whole time☺️. We had a great day in Pompeii, and our expert, friendly, and caring guide played a big part in it!! If you want to truly experience Pompeii, Felicia is the guide for you!! We HIGHLY recommend booking a tour with her!!!! Thank you, Felicia!☺️

5.00Felicia was incredible - her knowledge of Pompeii as an archeologist and also as a local made the visit incredibly good. Highly recommend walking Pompeii with her - you will not regret it. The little details that provide so much insight into life at the time and similarities and differences to local life now are insightful and give meaning to the tour.
Great, interesting, knowledgeable guide.

5.00Felicia was a great guide, passionate about Pompeii and Herculaneum, really knowledgeable and full of interesting information. We had plenty of time to get an understanding of the real life of people in Pompeii. She has a long family history in the area and has been closely involved with the excavations and reconstruction, so can bring the stories of the city to life . We couldn't have had anyone better.
