Excellent Tour Guide
Gabriella was wonderful, we met her at the Herculaneum ruins and decided to book a tour last-minute. We enjoyed it so much that we booked her the following day to meet us at Pompeii, and we're also very glad we did. She was knowledgeable and informative, and did an excellent job of pacing the tour for my family, who had various mobility and attention span challenges. We even got to pet several cats on both tours, which my daughter was thrilled with. Highly recommend taking a tour with her, you won't be disappointed.

Just amazing, highest recommendation!
Gabriella made a huge difference for our enjoyment of Herculaneum and Pompeii! In fact, we booked her tour for Pompeii after enjoying her tour of Herculaneum so very much. I couldn't recommend a better guide! She knows everything and she has the best way with people.
Thank you so much Gabriella!

A Great Guide for our Family Tour of Pompeii
We were a group of six, including a 7 year old and two grandparents, who moved a bit slowly. Gabriella is a Master of Archeology, and a certified guide for Pompeii. She not only was very knowledgeable, and answered our questions about the site completely, she chose shady spots for presenting information and went at a good speed for our little group. We would happily recommend Gabriella for a small group tour guide!

Valuable professional an friendly tour
We had a wonderful experience with Gabriella. It was the first time in Pompei and we wanted to be along with a local guide in order to be conducted through Pompei in the best way. It is not the same as an audioguide. We absolutely recommend the tour with her!
Operator response
I am very glad, thank you so much!
It's always a pleasure for me to let my guests discover the beauty of the ancient town of Pompeii.
See you next time!

Excellent service
We visited two days ago and our experience was amazing. If it wasn't for the in-depth, clear explanations of all the important sites of the area of Pompeii we visited I don't think we would have been able to appreciate the site nearly as much as we did. I highly recommend the wonderful tour guide, it will make you truly recognise and experience what an important site Pompeii truly is.

Tour of Pompeii
This was wonderful. It is well worth paying for the tour as you learn so much of the life and culture of the people of Pompeii and are shown so many of the key places of interest, pointing out so much of the detail, which I think you would miss if you just walked and tried to take it in on your own. We just paid for an hour and a half as we had limited time but we left feeling that we had learnt so much and it was fun and enjoyable and for this length of tour I think it would be suitable for couples, family with both young and teenage children as well as friends or people with limited time on a business trip or travelling solo. Thank you for bringing Pompeii to life
Operator response

I am waiting for you to come back soon and visit other sites and museums in my region.
