Luciano Leone was an amazing guide. He was enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. Also, on a day with record heat, he was very considerate and made our stops in the shade. Luciano engaged with all of the guests and made our daughter’s birthday trip memorable!
Luigi, driver, and Charisa, guide, were both the best. Askos, local Viator partner, offered fabulous communication. No complains!!
We had Michele Lamberti as our guide on a 2 hour walking tour of Herculeum. It was a fantastic experience. Lamberti had enormous insight into the history of Herculeum and he told it with pleasant empathy and showed us pedagogically what was important to take away from the city and its history. Guided tour in Herculeum and Lamberti are highly recommended
We had a tour today with Luciano Leone. Really entertaining and educational. Would highly recommend. Top man
Danilo was a great guide very clear and accurate. Super important details of all herculaneum and comparison with Pompeii very interesting
We did the private tour of Herculaneum and Vesuvius. Our archaeologist guide at Herculaneum was amazing! Luciano was positively bursting with enthusiasm and information. We learned so much from him! Our driver Francesco did an excellent job of navigating small streets and difficult terrain while also pointing out the sites. Great tour!
We have a wonderful time visiting Vesuvius with our guide Francesco! Everithing was perfect. In the end we get more than we expecting.
I had the most passionate, funny and very knowledgeable guide ever. Herculaneum is full of history and well-preserved ruins that are standing for more than 2000 years. Is a very rich place full of details and important historical elements that make you travel in time. Our guide makes 2h tour flight by so fast. He was one of the most passionate guides I ever had with strong knowledge about the place and it was engaging with the group every single minute. He makes us feel there!!! I´ve learned so much with him! Definitely a very worth it tour with him!!
