Amazing private tour of Pompeii with Lucio
Lucio was a fantastic tour guide. He provided us a personal tour of Pompeii that was packed with information that was memorable he truly depiected and showed us the life of the people of Pompeii before and provided us key information of his excavations as he is an archeologist who digs Pompeii to preserve and discover it himself. It was a once in a lifetime tour and he was also funny and witty and kept us very interested with the information he was sharing with us it was absolutely worth it and we would do it again.

Gerardo guides 🔝
We go to Pompeii and at the ticket office they recommend the guided tour (luckily we heard them! , it's worth it)... to welcome us there is Gerardo, a guy who makes a difference, who accompanies us on a path that makes our experience a film, unforgettable... suggestive... full of anecdotes and curiosities and the 2 hours and 30 tour fly... and with them our imagination and imagination. Thank you Gerardo! Super

Lucio is a maestro. Others are just guides.
A tour of Pompeii without a guide would be a waste of time. You can’t begin to appreciate the intricacies of the city or its history. Lucio Vinaccia is an exceptional guide with detailed knowledge of the city and he conveys a wonderful perception of the daily lives of the citizens of Pompeii. We took a partial day tour and only scratched the surface of Pompeii’s history and demise. I’m certain we will return for more from Lucio.

History of harassment
Just write a review on tripadvisor to be harassed once or twice a day for several months. When will you stop your incessant and ridiculous solicitations? People should not be mistaken for being dumber than they are. If they want to express themselves, they know where to find you. So one word, one instruction: STOP

We just returned from a week in Italy and had the pleasure of having Lucio Vinaccia as our tour guide in Pompeii. he is SO knowledgeable! The heat was really getting to my husband and he was very accommodating so we could take our time. Any questions that I had, he knew the answers to. I wish I had more time as I would have loved to have toured the other areas as well with him. Definitely a reason to go back!

Amazing experience
Went with Lello for our Pompeii visit. He was amazing and we had a FAR better experience visiting Pompeii due to his expertise. We learned so much. Whatever I paid for this tour was worth every single euro. He was funny, engaging and extremely informed. I saw other tours. And it was clear ours was better. I would recommend him to anyone!
