Our guide Lello was fantastic about including the group and sharing meaningful messages about Pompeii. Our group was maybe 15 people total. If you look at a map, we covered very little of Pompeii, but what we did see was made much more interesting because of the tour. You will need days to see all of Pompeii if you wish. For us, the tour was just enough and perfect.

Our tour guide, Lello was brilliant. Being an archeologist, his passion for the ruins and his in-depth knowledge was exceptional. He was entertaining and informative and made this tour fun and engaging. If you visit Pompei, a guided tour is highly recommended - you will learn so much more than just walking around by yourself. Lello was great and thePompei ruins far exceeded our expectations. The level of preservation is outstanding!

Lello was our guide and was FANTASTIC! I purposefully chose an archeologist to.be our guide and he was excellent! He made the ruins come alive and made it so fascinating! I really admired the way he treated the room with the slave girl with reverence. He also explained how difficult and expensive it is to excavate and restore these ruins. You got a sense of how these people lived and the technological expertise from thousands of years ago! Lello also had a great personality and added humor to the tour! Fabulous tour due to Lello!
