Was a great way to see Pompeii and Herculaneum. We’ve been before but was wonderful to see new sites that have been discovered/excavated and recently opened to the public. Our guide, Josephine was great too.
Really fantastic tour with Giusy. She kindly contacted me on WhatsApp the day before and gave us really clear directions about how to get to the meeting point from our hotel. She was waiting for us at the station on arrival in Pompeii and we then had an absolutely brilliant tour of both Pompeii and Herculaneum. Giusy's English is fantastic and her knowledge of history was outstanding. She took her time to show us a huge amount, answered all our questions and gave us real insight into both sites. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Giusy. Don't think twice about booking this private tour.
We had an incredible time with Giusephine! She was knowledgeable, patient, and extremely accommodating. My kids learned a lot, and the whole family truly enjoyed the tour. We were especially impressed by her flexibility; she was willing to adjust our plans late the night before the trip to suit our needs. Her communication was prompt, detailed, and warm. I highly recommend her to anyone!
Giusy (Josephine) was an amazing tour guide!!! She did an excellent job going over the history of Pompeii and Herculaneum. She got us safely to both sites and made it so easy and even gave us instructions on how to get back to our Airbnb. Her tour is by far the best we’ve had in Italy. Her love of history shines through, and she was even able to keep our 3 teens engaged which is hard to do. I highly recommend her tour and can’t say enough good things about it. Our family will forever treasure the time spent at Pompeii and Herculaneum because she made it so special.
Our guide, Giusy, gave us so much more information than what we already knew and really expanded the experience for us.
Very knowledgeable - Josephine had a lot of information and was a great guide. Kept in touch before meeting us constantly

Our tour was nothing less than amazing! Romolo was so great. He not only had vast amounts of knowledge, he was fun, kind, engaging, and very passionate about his Pompeii and Herculaneum. If you want a fantastic easy going fun tour look no further you have found it! Ask for Romolo. Thanks Romolo we loved your time touring. John and Tracie.
