We had a wonderful couple of hours with Glauco, who was clearly an expert in his field, exhibiting real passion and interest in equal measure. From meeting us off the train to leaving us back more than 2 hours later, his knowledge, his expertise and his care meant that we had a really educational, relaxed and hugely valuable visit to the ruins of Pompeii. Thank you Glauco!
Glauco is an excellent tour guide. He suggested we arrive right at 9 am as the site opened so it wouldn't be as crowded given it was peak season. He also instructed us on the correct tickets to purchase so that we were able to skip the line upon entry. Both of these suggestions were hugely helpful. At Pompeii we spent three hours with Glauco and learned so much about the history, the excavation, and how the people there had lived centuries ago. He's extremely knowledgeable and personable. A true pleasure. We could not recommend him more highly.
Glauco was an excellent tour guide! He was very detailed and informative, while personal and intentional to show us the places that were of interest to us. We greatly enjoyed our time at Pompeii and all thanks to Glauco!
Glauco showed my wife and I round Herculaneum. It was an excellent guided tour. His expertise brought the ancient city alive. He answered all our questions with a deep knowledge that put things in context. He was friendly and easy to talk to. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking for a top rate guide for the ancient sites and for the wider region of Naples.
Glauco was an excellent tour guide. My daughter and I had an informative and fun trek around Pompeii with Glauco advising our every move. The two hours flew by and we left with a much greater knowledge of the area. Thank you, Glauco!
Glauco is a fantastic guide. He knows his stuff, keeps things moving at a great pace, and is a lovely guy. We had a private tour of Pompeii with him and was so impressed we booked a private tour of Herculaneum as well. I cannot recommend him highly enough, he is surely the only way to see Pompeii!
The tour with Glauco was amazing. He has a deep knowledge of the history of Pompeji and knows how to tell a good story. It is a gift to be able to share your knowledge as entertaining and precise! We had the feeling to spend a relaxed afternoon with a friend who was open to all our questions and personalized the tour to our knowledge and needs. Thank you for this unforgettable tour Glauco! All the best to you !!! Thank you Antonio, Thomas & Sondra
We had an amazing tour of Pompeii with Glauco! He was enthusiastic, passionate, and such a genuinely great person. His deep knowledge and experience made the whole visit fascinating - we learned so much while managing to avoid the huge crowds thanks to his clever route. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!
We spent two days with Glauco. On the first day we visited Naples were a catered the visit to our preferences. We started with the most amazing coffee we have ever tasted (we won’t reveal the secret, you will have to book him) and went on to a fantastic tour of the city with a focus on art which was our interest. He then took us for a fabulous lunch like we have never experienced. The following day we went to Pompeii where Glauco brought the city to life. We had a fabulous lunch at Suisse Pompeii where we were met by nothing but kindness, a cheerful ambiance and efficiency. I had an issue with medication that was solved swiftly by Glauco who found a way to keep it refrigerated and a way to organise an ice pack for the rest of the trip. Glauco showed us the best there is to see of Napoli and more. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
Afternoon visit to Pompeii with a 6-year-old boy in tow with whom Glaucus has related in an affable and engaging way. His general culture goes beyond the classic historical and notional explanation, offering the possibility to satisfy every curiosity posed, ranging in various areas and levels of knowledge. Thank you Glauco! We really hope to meet again soon
