Benedetto was an amazing host for our family of five. Our kids, 15, 11, and 9, enjoyed this tour just as much as the parents did. Once we got off our cruise ship, we took the public transit to Pompeii, where it was easy to meet Benedetto outside of the entrance. Benedetta is a true archaeologist and historian and knows his content incredibly well. He helped us navigate through Pompeii with ease, making sure that we hit all the highlights and knew every detail along the way. We then had a perfectly timed lunch where we enjoyed Naples pizza outside of Pompeii and had a private transfer arranged by Benedetto to get us to Herculaneum. Herculaneum is a less known site but is very similar to Pompeii in many ways. I'm glad we got to see both. The museums were very interesting to get to see the nitty-gritty detail of what was recovered during the excavation, including jewelry, furniture, fishing materials, ropes, et cetera. That is stuff that you will never see at Pompeii. The preservation is different between Herculaneum and Pompeii because of how the Mount Vesuvius volcano affected each one. There is no question I would recommend Benedetto with five stars and enthusiasm to any family and friends. He is a true professional, and I am glad we got him to guide our experience for the day.
