Visiting Pompeii with a real archaeologist is not only a privilege, but also a must! Raffaele is super passionate and incredibly well informed about the site itself. He knows the areas that are the best, most beautiful and recently opened, and leads you directly there, all the while providing insightful bits of backstory—in this way, we made the most of our visit and learned so much! We saw other people wandering around aimlessly, not knowing where to go...such a waste of time and energy in this gorgeous locale. Friendly, relaxed and humorous, Raffaele was everything you could hope for in a guide. Don't miss this opportunity to see Pompeii through his eyes!
Dear Marne, I cannot find more than thank you for this honest and incredible feedback. I really hope to show you more and more! Thank you!
