Inspirational tour Pompeii
We had an incredible experience touring Pompeii with our guide, Frenky. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the ancient ruins to life with vivid stories and historical insights. Frenky made sure we understood the significance of each site, answering all our questions with depth and enthusiasm. Thanks to him, we left Pompeii not just impressed, but truly educated. Highly recommend!

FOLLOW FRANKIE THROUGH POMPEI
Frankie was our guide! “Follow Frankie!”
He did a fantastic job of taking us through Pompei! His humor was awesome and kept our attention.
He avoided the crowds and made the tour so fun for our group of 10 people.
He spoke good English and projected his voice well. There was no need for ear pieces which I appreciated.

Fantastic experience through history
Everything went perfectly from the pick-up at the meeting point to the return. Before the Pompeii visit I didn’t imagine that I could experience such a fantastic tour through history (with my friends). The ancient city and its history on the one hand, our guide Francesco and his knowledge and the way he told us everything made this visit unforgettable for us. I would highly recommend it to anyone!!!

Happy - From a cancellation to an exclusive and differentiated visit.
It was a big surprise. In fact our tour had been cancelled due to the bad weather,and I did not realize the cancellation and went with my husband to Pompeii. Arriving there we discovered the cancellation. But Alessandra Bolino attended us, solved the problem, arranged us a new Francesca coma tour, exclusive, which was fantastic. A young archaeologist who knew a lot about Pompeii and offered us a wonderful visit. Thank you very much for the opportunity and I was very happy with the visit.

Wonderful guide to Pompeii.
Anna is very good. Very helpful and knowledgeable not only about the history of Pompeii which he knows very well but also about lesser-known and nicer aspects of the life of the ancient inhabitants of the city. It makes the visit pleasant and light-hearted as well as very interesting for its historical aspect.

Wonderful learning experience
We booked a private tour of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Mount Vesuvius including a wine tasting and lunch with transfers from the Amalfi coast. Our driver Tony was prompt and friendly. The highlight of the day was our tour guide Anna. She was very knowledgeable, able to explain in detail even Roman Engineering principles, and had great conversation skills. She lead us through both Pompeii and Herculaneum. We skipped any lines which was really nice. The day ended with a self guided hike to the top of Mount Vesuvius. The tour was a great value and exceeded our expectations. Thank you “Enjoy Pompeii” company.

Afternoon in Pompeii with Sasa
We spent two hours in the company of Sasa, an expert guide but also a very nice and ironic person, who explained the history of Pompeii and how life was in the city before it was overwhelmed by ash. Experience not to be missed.

Amazing Sasa from Pompei
Sasa is such an amazing tour guide. He is so knowledgeable about Pompei. He gave all of our group an amazing history of Pompei. He was so thorough as well as funny. He was so informative. He also recommended the best pizza place for us to eat. He is such a charm. I would request him again if I ever come back
