Alex was phenomenal from the get go when I told him we would be travelling from the airport. He gave advice and when we were delayed due to the hire car situation, he waited for us. We were so grateful as we enjoyed the tour so much even though it was a reduced time frame. He made it funny for the kids with points and playing against the adults. His knowledge is next level and was happy to answer all our questions and even gave suggestions for dinner and how to spend the next day. We enjoyed his company and definitely recommend this tour for kids and adults!

Amazing for Kids!
We went on the Pompeii for Kids private tour with Alex and it was honestly our favorite tour of the entire trip! Alex was incredible with all six of the children in our group all while making the adults laugh. He is very knowledgeable and a true teacher in how he explains things to the children. I highly recommend Alex if you are wanting a knowledgeable, fun, personable, and entertaining tour (even with kids!). One of my son's said, "Mommy make sure you give Alex a five star review!" And my other son said a few hours after our tour, "I want to go back to Pompeii." Alex made an impression on our children and has helped them to appreciate a treasured piece of history. Thank you, Alex for giving our family and friends such precious and meaningful memories! I only wish I could come back and also do the private tour for adults. :)

100% recommended!
We have done many tours on our holiday but without a doubt, Alex’s tour of Pompeii for Kids was definitely the best. He is friendly, engaging and very knowledgeable about Pompeii and its history and culture. Our children (15 and 12 years) said this was the tour they got the most out of and they liked Alex’s sense of humour. We would 100% recommend one of Alex’s tours to anyone wanting a personalised Pompeii experience.

Highlight of our trip to Naples
From the very get go Alex was easy to contact, friendly and made the booking process super easy. I had some additional questions which he answered quickly and clearly - he even alerted us to a nationwide rail strike that may have affected our journey to Pompeii.
When we actually met Alex, the children warmed to him immediately. Alex has a natural ease with adults and children, the kids understood him and found him really fun, he pitched the information to their age range perfectly and he kept them interested. Alex struck the perfect balance between fun stories for the kids and genuine historical info for the adults.
This was honestly the highlight of our trip and, when back home, my son told his friends he made a "cool friend" on holiday! I would definitely recommend these tours to anyone travelling to Pompeii - Alex's enthusiasm is contagious and you can tell how familiar he is with the site, and how much he loves the history. Thanks so much Alex - see you soon hopefully!

Perfect balance between knowledge and fun
With Alex as your guide, you're in for a treat. His kid- (and adult-) friendly tour was insightful, fun and engaging. He managed to keep the attention of two very high-energy 7- and 8-year-olds throughout the whole experience, which is no small feat.
Alex was also very helpful with the planning and easy to get hold of. Absolutely worth the money.

Fantastic family tour of Pompeii
We booked Alex for a private kids’ tour of Pompeii and he was absolutely amazing. Great communication before and after the tour. He kept us all engaged and even got our two shy little girls out of their shells. It was the highlight of our holiday, and they’re still talking about it days later! Alex is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. Couldn’t recommend him more highly – 100% recommend.

The Best Way to Visit Pompeii
My entire family (adults and kids) thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Alex! Of all the kid-friendly tours we did throughout Italy, Alex was the best at keeping not just the kids engaged but remembering us adults also. He made the tour so meaningful by really emphasizing learning about what life was like at Pompeii before and at the time of the eruption. Our kids love showing their Pompeii book to family and friends. We really would not have been able to appreciate the site without Alex’s tour!

Phenomenal family tour with young kids and grandparents - despite the heat!
Alex hosted 6 of us at 12:30 on quite a hot day. Despite the heat and crowds, he kept us all engaged ranging in age from 7 to 76. His knowledge of the ruins and enthusiasm with kids truly can’t be beat. Highly recommend!

A unique and exciting experience
We had the pleasure of participating in the private tour of Pompeii with a super guide! Alex punctual, professional and prepared person has been able to lead our family on a journey back in time, making alive the history of the ancient city with stories, curious anecdotes and explanations understandable even to the little ones.
Thanks to his expertise and passion, we went to discover the architectural and artistic wonders that still leave you breathless.
Also appreciated is the ability to adapt the pace and content of the tour to the needs of our family, always keeping interest high and patiently answering every question.
We highly recommend this experience to those who want an engaging and tailored visit. Alex knows conveys love for history and respect for one of the most beautiful sites in the world. Thank you Alex! Emma, Mia, Ilenia and Paolo

Wonderful Tour and Guide
Alex was GREAT! He is very knowledgeable. He kept young and old very engaged during the Pompeii for Kids Tour. In the future, if visiting Pompeii again would not hesitate to book any tour offered by Alex.
