Italo was a phenomenal tour guide and this is a MUST if you visit Pompeii. He was so knowledgeable and taught us so much. We came away from the experience feeling like we really learned something. He has a great sense of humor and keeps it so interesting. We really did skip the long lines and he navigated us through the crowds. If you are going to Pompeii, this is the tour you should book!

It was great having a guide to manouver the 66 hectare site. The rest of the day you can explore on your own. Stop off at the great cafe at the top of the site for a beautiful view and food available outside or inside. Be sure to eat early as the selections run out.
