Private guided tour Of Pompei

This is fantastic value for money. Private guided tour with deeply knowledgeable archeologist. Lello was an exceptional tour guide. Worth paying to be in a smaller group. There is a lot of information and Lello makes it all digestible. He also can move you very swiftly through bigger tour groups. Be ready for 2 hours of hard core walking.

Lelo our tour guide was amazing he was so fun and funny, i learnt so much so thank you lelo

Lello is a passionate and engaging guide who made us discover a beautiful story .. highly recommended

Pompeii is impressive and vast. Thanks to Lello, we were able to immerse ourselves deeply in history for two hours (which turned into two and a half). He is not only a professional (an archaeologist) but also a gifted storyteller. With his flawless English and passion for historical detail, he transported us back in time. Our teenagers were beaming, asked lots of questions and received valuable answers that brought Pompeii back to life for them. Thank you, Lello, for for the wonderful moments that will stay with us.

One of the best tours we have ever been on. Lello went above and beyond to bring Pompeii to life for us. Our kids (9 and 10 year old boys) are not the easiest audience for a historical walking tour, and Lello had them completely engaged the entire time. We all have a much greater appreciation for Pompeii and we are eager to learn more. Would recommend a tour with Lello to any and all families.

We visited the archaeological park of Pompeii with the guide of the legendary Lello, who told us the most interesting details and anecdotes, making us immerse ourselves and fall in love with the experience! If there were more stars we would leave them! 10 and praise

Today's private tour of Pompeii was exceptional. The guide, with years of experience and extensive research, provided an in-depth exploration. Despite my 12-year-old son feeling unwell, the guide adjusted to our pace perfectly, making the experience enjoyable and accommodating.

It has been one week since we had our tour of the Pompeii archaeological site with Lello on March 10, 2025. We still are smiling about the enchanting experience Lello provided the 2 of us and are still absorbing and contemplating all the information he discussed. First, about Lello, no one could ask for a more personable, knowledgeable, humorous, and pleasant guide. Such a nice man! He encourages and answers questions in detail with his vast knowledge of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Though the tour was only at Pompeii, he remembered seeing us the day before at Herculaneum where we visited without a guide. When I mentioned that we had been at Herculaneum the day before, Lello exclaimed, "That's where I remember seeing you. I knew you looked familiar!" 😊 During the tour, Lello seem to know everyone, especially the other tour guides and the park officials who were attendants at the various popular locations. It was entertaining just to watch him very briefly tease or be teased by the other guides and anyone else he saw whom he knew. At one point, I had to ask him if there was anyone there whom he did not know?! He is obviously a very popular individual and he is the type of person that if we lived near Pompeii, we would want to have him as a personal friend. Second, the tour was exactly as advertised. Lello met us on time (actually he was waiting for us), he purchased the tickets (ignored some teasing from his fellow guides that we do not know what was about!), and began the tour by asking us questions. That is an important part of his technique. By asking us questions throughout the tour, Lello personalized the tour and made us feel as if we actually were part of Pompeii and were there in 79 A.D. I suspect he carefully selected the sites he wanted to explain to us based upon not only our interests but also the significance of those particular sites to the citizens of Pompeii and also to the archaeologists who have made the fascinating discoveries, of whom he is one. The 2 1/2 hour tour seemed to last only minutes. All the information Lello provided made the city of Pompeii and its citizens come alive for us! The job of an archaeologist is not only to uncover the past, but to explain the significance of the findings in a modern day context, and Lello does that immensely well! Third, we were hoping to have enough time in our schedule for the rest of our trip to book Lello again to give us a tour of the parts of the archaeological park that were not part of the first tour, but we simply did not have enough time to do that. If you're lucky enough to have a tour with Lello, you will have a wonderful experience the memory of which probably will last a lifetime!

Lello was an absolutely incredible tour guide for our private tour of Pompeii! From the moment we met him, we knew we were in for a treat. His passion for archaeology and knowledge of the site were evident, and he tailored the experience perfectly to our interests. He provided just the right amount of information, making it fascinating but not overwhelming. Lello's insights as an archaeologist brought the ruins to life, and he had a knack for sharing interesting and fun facts that kept us engaged the entire time. We highly recommend Lello to anyone visiting Pompeii! He truly made our experience special and we left with a deeper appreciation for this incredible historical site. Thank you, Lello!

Lello is just the best and our private tour of Pompeii will be a family memory forever. Our five year old son loved that Lello called him “little king” and he had fun learning several important facts about this ancient city. The adults were floored by all of the history and knowledge that Lello possesses and delivered to us during the tour. We miss him already!
