Destroyed and buried by the Vesuvius eruption the Pompeii has conserved an ancient world. Its ruins are a time machine where if you switch the bottom, you can go back 2000 years. Doing that you will see where the romans lived their daily lives. The richly decorated houses and the sophisticated thermal baths will amaze you. Arriving at the city centre surrounded by marble decorations, columns and public building you will enjoy a beautiful Vesuvius landscape. Someone once said: “Pompeii is the most lively of dead towns”. It makes sense because when you will walk on its streets you will have the sensation that life is still going on. You’ll think that you can see people while they buy, sell, eat and drink at the shops. This town still conserves its lights and shades so you will see its sophistication, elegance and richness but at same time its dark and hot sides. Visiting this ancient and precious casket that is still partly unknown you will live an unforgettable experience.

Dario, our tour guide, was very informative and knowledgeable. We had a private tour with Dario, and it was a great experience that made our trip very special. We got a history lesson along with a comedy show, thanks to Dario's sense of humor. We would recommend 1000%
We met Dario through a friend who lives in Naples. He was a FANTASTIC guide who's English is impeccable! Dario lead us through Pompeii and took us back in time by sharing stories of that amazing city's existence prior to Mt Vesuvius's explosion. He would pull us into the narrative of the daily lives of the residents and business owners. Dario was engaging and more than willing to answer any and all of our varied questions. If we taken the tour solo, we would have missed so much about the intricacies of Roman life in Pompeii. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Dario and highly suggest that you book a tour with him for Pompeii!!
