Can’t miss private tour of Pompeii behind the scenes with an archeologist

This 3 hour private tour with Luisa was absolutely incredible! It is the only way to go when visiting Pompeii. We learned so much information that we would not have learned on our own or on a regular tour. She is an archaeologist who has excavated this site herself! So worth the time and money. Thank you Luisa!!!

Worked great for our group of 6

Sandretti Tours at Pompeii was a great selection for our group of 6 adults. We found them through Trip Advisor, "Pompeii Private Tour with an Archaeologist and Skip The Line." First, our tour guide contacted us before the tour and suggested a change in date for our tour. This worked very well as it rained very hard on our original day and the make up day was beautiful and not too hot. Second, our tour guide Amadeo was polite, professional, and a wealth of knowledge. He directed us around the crowds into back alleys and entrances that made our tour less crowded. He shared so much valuable information about Pompeii. We gained knoweldge not just found in a book or via an audio tour. Live and in person was perfect for us. Thank you! 5 stars. We will suggest your tour to anyone.
