Roberto was a fantastic guide for our tour of Pompeii! This was my second time taking a tour with Roberto and it was even better than the last. There were things we learned that I never would have noticed had he not pointed them out. He was very knowledgeable and kept a good pace for our group! I’d recommend him to anyone going to Pompeii!
Roberto was by far one of the best guides I’ve been with. Having a guide who is an actual archaeologist take you on a tour of ancient ruins that he has helped discover is memory of the lifetime. It genuinely felt that we were on an episode of something on the discovery channel. Not only is he a wealth of knowledge but he is incredibly personable and very passionate about his work. I would recommend him as a guide for anyone who wants to explore Pompeii.
Roberto is knowledgeable, patient, passionate about the history of Pompeii and funny. I learned so much from having him as our tour guide. He has working knowledge of the archeological discoveries in Pompeii and can cater the tour to ur historical interests whether the history is new to you or you are seeking advanced information. Being in a small group is so worth the investment for visiting this site compared to the larger shared tours. If I could give more stars I would. Helpful tips for visiting: bring water bottle filled, wear loose comfortable clothing and good walking shoes. Consider an umbrella or hat to shade you from the hot sun, depending on when you tour. The site is much larger than one expects, and after tour you can spend multiple hours exploring more of the Pompeii area. There is a small restaurant on site offering light meals and beverages. Also...HIRE Roberto as your guide. You will NOT be disappointed.
I can't say enough positive things about Roberto and his tour of Pompeii. His level of knowledge about its history, culture, and the excavation itself is astounding. He was able to point out so many details that we would have easily missed without his knowledge. It felt like he brought us back in time nearly 2000 years on the day of the eruption. We highly recommend Roberto as a guide easily worth every penny.
Roberto’s tour was recommended to me and I’m so glad it was because it was one of the best tours we’ve been on. Everyone in our group of 13 was raving about it afterwards. From the very start, Roberto was great in his communications with me while planning this excursion. He was always willing to answer my questions in a timely manner and arranged our transportation from our cruise ship to the site. It was clear on the tour itself that the history of Pompeii is something that Roberto is very passionate about and he shared many interesting facts with us as well as getting us to think about how life was lived back then. We also had someone with us who had some mobility issues and Roberto was very patient and thoughtful regarding her needs as we walked around. I would highly recommend this tour with Roberto, you won’t regret it! I felt like we left having made a new friend.
Thank you so much Jacinda! I’m happy that you and your group enjoyed my Pompeii tour!
The communication and planning with Roberto was great! The information regarding our meeting point was easy. Francesco was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining as he told the story of Pompeii. We could visualize the events of the day in 79AD as he explained the story and told us about the lives of the people who lived there. He patiently waited as we snapped pictures and always answered our questions with a smile. I highly recommend this tour guide. I observed many people wandering around without or with a large group and I know they didn’t have the vision of Pompeii as clearly as we did. Book it!!!
Excellent tour with Roberto. It was easy to arrange time and meeting place before we came to Italy, and we met exactly as arranged. Roberto was professional and very informative, took us to both the “must see” sites as well as quieter spots with fewer tourists. His English is excellent and he answered all our questions. We truly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend Roberto.
Thank you so much!
This excursion from Rome was a long time in the making and Roberto was helpful all the way. He helped arrange for a shuttle from Napoli Centrale where we arrived by train from Rome and back. Roberto was very personable and took his time to explain things to us at the right level of detail (considering that there were two teenagers). I mean when do you get to tour one of the most amazing archaeological sites of the world with a real archaeologist? He said it early on and it is so true: You can only get a taste of Pompeii in three hours but a great taste it was!
Thank you so much! I'm very happy you enjoyed my 3 hours tour of Pompeii!
3 hours passed like in flight with a lot of interesting information. Very nice, quiet and competent guide. Very good English! Thank you Roberto!
Thank you so much!
Giada selected some particularly interesting sites for us to see. She provided a lot of history and context and answered all of our questions.
Thank you so much! Giada and all the team of archaeologists are more then happy to share the incredible site of Pompeii
