5.00We did the two-hour guided tour with Ilaria. A welcoming person and very prepared, able to explain clearly and simply. We have a good memory of that day. I highly recommend the visit with the private tutor.
Best tour guide ever

5.00We had the pleasure of touring the ruins of Pompeii with Ilaria Fiore. Ilaria made Pompeii come alive with her vast knowledge of archeological processes. She toured us through the ruins for 2.5 hours which went quickly. Entertaining and educational! 5 stars!
Ilaria: a must if you visit Pompei.

5.00Ilaria is a TOTAL MUST if you want to visit the Pompei site. From moment one, she was extremely helpful to make the online payment, provided help when I almost lost myself getting the train, and was extremely passionate about the history of the place, knowing every single corner. She has deep knowledge on archeology and history, and she goes into the topics as deep as you want, to make a really tailor made experience, so she really makes worth your time with her. Aside from her hig professional skills, she is extremely nice and a pleasure to be around. Until the next time, Illaria!
Unique experience

5.00I actually went on this tour with my family in April 2024, but that month was not available from the drop-down, because it was too long ago. But, I still remember it as the best tour my family (including kids aged 8 and 11) took during our trip to Italy. Great historic content from a very knowledgeable guide, and necessarily a patient one since our kids are not very history-friendly. I highly recommend it.
