Top notch Pompeii tour
Booking with LivTours was the best decision we made for our trip, and having Fran as our guide for Pompeii made the entire experience extraordinary! Exploring such a vast archaeological site can easily feel overwhelming, but Fran made our tour smooth, deeply informative, and completely captivating. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
Fran’s expertise and passion for Pompeii’s history, architecture, and daily life are truly unmatched. She didn't just point out ruins; she painted a vivid picture of the people who once lived there, bringing ancient history to life in a way that felt immediate and profoundly moving. Her seamless pacing, clear storytelling, and ability to answer every question with precision made every moment through the ancient streets engaging and effortless. We learned far more than we ever expected to and walked away with a deep, lasting appreciation for the site.
LivTours delivered an top-notch, seamlessly organized experience, and Fran's warmth, professionalism, and enthusiasm made this the absolute highlight of our trip. If you are visiting Pompeii, booking through LivTours and asking for Fran is an absolute must—we are so grateful for her incredible insight and hospitality!

Incredible experience with kids!
Liia was wonderful!! We had run into traffic and ended up being 30 mins late, but she didn’t seem flustered at all. And she took the time to set the stage before we went into the city so the kids knew what to expect. I had mentioned that we had a 5 yr old that might be sensitive to seeing the human forms so she set us up to do that at the end of we felt up to it which I appreciated. She was engaging and even gave the kids a wonderful pop up book about Pompeii at the end of the tour. I would absolutely recommend this tour and specifically Liia!!

Fantastic Private Pompeii and Naples Tour
Carla was an amazing tour guide providing us with just the right level of information. The sites gave us a good understanding of Pompeii life and its destruction. We had our family of 6 with 2 grandchildren, 8 and 11. Carla was not only interactive at the adult level but engaged the children in a very fun and educational manner. She was aware of the need for shade and water during this hot July weather. Highly recommend Carla and this tour.

Wonderful Pompeii Tour!!!
Our family had a tour with Lia at Pompeii, and it was absolutely amazing!!! Our train was delayed so we had to start late, and Lia waited for us and was so accommodating. She managed to still fit in the highlights and entertained our younger kids the whole time. The booking process was also easy, and the company gave us very specific instructions on where to meet our guide. I would definitely recommend this tour and LivTours.
