Our Guide had an incredible in-depth knowledge. He brought the exhibitions to life and made sure we knew of the main highlights of the museum. Without his knowledge and guidance we would have missed so much! This was an excellent tour and would totally recommend it.
Thank you very much
Very helpful to go through archeological museum with personal guide; covered a lot in depth but in an efficient amount of time
Thank you very much
Excellent tour with an excellent guide. Carmine was very knowledgeable about the history of every section.
Thank you very much
Our guide Martina did an expert job of leading us through this very large museum & provided so many historical details & stories. We would have wandered aimlessly without her. Going here before visiting Herculaneum & Pompei really helped prepare us for our visit there.
Thank you very much for your feedback
Great museum. It contains an impressive collection of items recovered from Pompeii. Carmine was our guide and he was excellent. Very knowledgeable and his English was very good.
Thank you very much

Would have missed so much without the guide. Also located the bathrooms quickly. Cafeteria was just OK.
Thank you very much
We had a private tour of 2 hours with Francesca! She was so informative and interesting to listen to. Much of the museum is artifacts from Pompeii. A fantastic way to prepare for our visit to Pompeii the next day!
Thank you very much
Martina is a superb guide. Her knowledge of Southern Italian archeology, art history, and historical stories and nuances is beyond belief. Anyone coming to Naples should jump at the chance to have her be their guide for the archeological museum.
Thank you very much
Ernesto was a terrific guide! He tailored the tour to what we had seen in Roma and for our upcoming tour in Pompeii. We were able to appreciate Pompeii so much more after this tour
Thank you very much
