Our group of three (with 12yo) had the best day with Lello. Even before the tour started so impressed with the communication from Maria with our specific tour request to visit Pompeii, Herculanum & Vesuvius in a day. Lello is so knowledgeable, entertaining, and enthusiastic about the history and archeological findings in these sites. He was not just a guide but a teacher helping us learn more about these impressive sites and the people of that time. We fit a lot into our day but I know the details he pointed out to us right under our feet we would have missed without him as our guide. He said to see all of Pompeii in detail would take full two days…I would 100% fly half way around the world to just spend three days in Naples to do the full two day tour of Pompeii with Lello. He is that good. He walked with an umbrella providing shade for us and I feel like at all times one of three of us had our mouths open wide with astonishment in what we were experiencing. Our driver Marco met us at the train station and kept our luggage in the vehicle through all the stops until our final destination on the Amalfi Coast.

The tour has been amazing! Never seen something as spectacular as Pompeii. We came with our 10 and 13 years old daughters and our guide Clelia made it amusing for all of us. Thanks to Clelia's explanations We have learned how Romans used to live and entertained themselves, seen first street food places, how water system worked even though the challenges due to volcanic rocks , houses of the gladiators and much more.

Amazing tour from Start to finish. We were picked up from our Villa in Castellabate at 8 am, the drivers were excellent, on time and extremely friendly and informative. We did two 2 hour tours, Pompeii and then Herculaneum. Lello was an excellent tour guide , an archaeologist who had previously worked in Herculaneum excavating and preserving the ruins. He had so much passion it was contagious, and he brought both sites to life. The transport was immaculate and air conditioned, which was such a relief as it was in the high 30's. And we were picked up at exactly the right time and taken back to our villa. I would highly recommend this tour company ! Thank you to Yuri and Lucia for making our day so special.

Lello is a passionate archaeologist. His presentation was lively, interactive, informative, and accessible for people with no prior knowledge. He covered the history of Pompeii and linked it to present day life. He kept all of us engaged the whole two hours and we highly recommend his tour. We would have missed so much of the wonder of Pompeii without him, including the Roman graffiti shown below!

clelia was amazing, made us understand so much in 2 hours tour. The level of knowledge and ability to make it simple to understand made us feel like we were back 2000years living a normal day in Pompei. Thank you !!!

Put simply, you must book Lello if touring Pompeii. From the moment we arrived, Lello was warm, inviting and funny. He had memorised all of our names and tailored the tour specifically to what we wanted to see the most. He engaged our two teenage daughters and they both keenly awaited his next point - no mean feat. His archeological experience was clearly evident and dramatically enriched the tour. We all came away with a dramatically different perspective of Pompeii and Pompeian life. Thank you sincerely Lello!

Stop Looking Now and book with this tour company. I did a lot of research to determine the best Pompeii tour for our family during our Spring Break trip. Lello was absolutely top notch! He is an archeologist and extremely knowledgeable. He made the entire tour so interesting and made you feel like you stepped back in time with his story telling. The amount of time we spent on this tour was perfect! All members of my family loved this tour and our guide.

Our tour was absolutely fantastic! Rosanna, our guide was amazing and took the time to get to know us and help us decide the content of the tour. With so much to see we wanted our boys, first time at Pompeii, to see as much as possible in the time allotted. Rosanna kept the tour personal, always interacting with us as if we were family or friends. My whole family had an amazing time and our visit to Pompeii was by far the best part of our vacation thanks to Rosanna. I cannot recommend this tour more highly. An absolutely amazing afternoon in one of the most stunning places in Italy.

Managed to source for Tours of Pompeii through Tripadvisor. Made contact with Louise and is glad that their correspondence are all prompt. On the day of our tour, Steven, our driver for the trip, came to our hotel to pick us up. Soon we were on our way to Pompeii! We were greeted by an extremely enthusiastic guide, Lello upon the opening of the car door! Lello is an archaeologist and is very knowledgeable about the history of Pompeii. He was very engaging making the whole tour lively and fun. He also let us experiment the effects of standing right at the amphitheater to test the impact of the voice projection. It was amazing! Lello, thank you so much for the wonderful tour at Pompeii. We agreed it was the most worthwhile and best experience out of our entire trip in Europe! Lots of love from Singapore, Alvin, Daphne & Jamie

We toured Pompeii on 15 June with Lello and it was worth every dollar spent. From the moment he met us he was professional, courteous, KNOWLEDGEABLE and friendly. He took time to answer any questions and made sure you understood a topic before moving forward. His English was amazingly perfect. We are still astounded and humbled by the tour of Pompeii, he truly painted a picture of what life in 79AD was like in one of history's most advanced civilizations. Could not more highly recommend Lello.

Very nice, a very nice experience on my side. I didn't take a guide, lucky because it was very very hot. Tips: Bring a bottle of water, running shoe, hat and sunscreen
