Visite privée de Pompéi et Villa des Mystères

Hugo was a wonderful guide throughout a 2 hour tour of Pompeii and a 1 hour tour to the Villa of Mysteries. He is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The pace of the tour was great, especially for such a hot day, and Hugo made sure to hit the highlights with the time we had. If you’re looking to learn about the amazing history of Pompeii and related subjects, I recommend this tour.

Very hot & grueling! Hard to hear unless you are right next to the guide. Probably would choose a different tour if I had a do over

Laura was an informative and enthusiastic historian who showed us how the people of Pompeii lived and worked before they died tragically in 79 A.D.

To have an outstanding experience touring the life and times of Pompeii and the Villa of the Mysteries we highly recommend Gennaro Balzano as a guide. It was much more interesting than a boring classroom lecture while walking about. We were able to move at our own pace, ask questions and easily take photos. We prefer private guides. We’ve gone on large group tours and find they are not a good use of our time.

We booked a private tour of Pompeii and the Villa of Mysteries, and it was worth every penny! I had gone to Pompeii a few years ago and even the small party tours were too distracting, noisy, too many people etc. Our tour guide was Roberta G and she was amazing. She was very friendly, enthusiastic and engaging, not to mention extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture and daily life of Pompeii. We were able to tour Pompeii at our own pace which was great, and Roberta did an outstanding job of bringing to life all of the sites that we saw, including the Gladiator barracks, two theaters, forum, temples, countless bakeries, fast-food places, public baths, brothel, public fountains, amazing fresco, original pipes, 2000 year street graffiti, etc. We toured the Roman cemetery outside the city walls and the unbelievable Villa of Mysteries. Roberta relayed all the information in a really interesting and exciting way which we appreciated. This tour took 3 hours, and Roberta pointed out villas and other spots we could tour after on our own. My whole family really enjoyed this tour, and thought Roberta G. was a perfect guide. I would highly recommend taking this tour.

Thanks to our guide "Hugo"! We were very well looked after and were able to gain a great overview of the area in 3 hours. Jürgen

It is a must-see and wonderful visit. Doing it with the guide we had with Viator we could understand and enjoy these ruins to the fullest!

Great visit to Pompei. Learned a lot about the site. Enjoyed the small, private group. Our tour guide Laura was friendly and knowledgeable. Would book again

Ornella was a fantastic guide for our private tour of Pompeii. She was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history to life in such an engaging and meaningful way. Her warmth and enthusiasm made the experience even more special, and she tailored the tour to our interests without ever making it feel rushed. We’re so grateful for such a memorable visit and would highly recommend her to anyone exploring Pompeii.

Five of us had a great visit to Pompeii with guide Ornella who met us at the train station and already knew our names upon arrival (after I sent her a picture of us). She was very knowledgeable and did a super job of showing us aspects of Pompeii while also steering us away from crowded areas when other buildings illustrated the same things. We got a break in about the middle of the tour and were able to use the restrooms and eat a quick snack. If you go to Pompeii, be sure to buy the plus admission ticket and a guided tour of the Villa of Mysteries. That was a highlight of the visit where the frescoes are amazing. We got recommendations for other places to see when the tour was over. We learned so much from this guided tour of Pompeii and wouldn't have learned so much going on our own or using an audio guide. We highly recommend hiring a guide for this special historic place.
