      Pompei was good but the map wasn't the best. You need to take a tour but they wanted 250.00 euros for a guide that was too much. Herculaneum was reasonably priced and the tour guide was 100 euros for an hour.

      Paulo was amazing!
      Paulo was brilliant and made sure that we had a great time. He was great at including our kids; despite how annoying they were.

      Lived up to all my expectations and more
      Absolutely incredible. Paolo was so knowledgeable and made the tour so interactive and fun. He gave us opportunities to interact with the city and guess what objects might be so it felt like we were apart of the tour and not just having things told to us. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and expertly showed us around both cities, missing every line and seeing little details most people would miss.

    Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
    Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
    When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
    Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Paolo was recommended to us by our hotel in Positano and wow, am I glad we toured with him! One of the best guided tours I have ever been on.

    Paolo was part of the team that originally excavated the site as an archaeologist many years ago, and you can tell he has such a love for the city - he has tons of stories, anecdotes, and makes the experience fun. We never would have seen 95% of what he showed us without him - there are so many small details that can be missed on an audio or group tour.

    I’ve already recommended him to several friends who are going to Pompei in the next few months, and could not recommend him more.

    Paolo was such a fantastic guide through Pompeii and Herculaneum. Though visiting both sites in one day can be overwhelming, he made the entire experience the most enjoyable--the type of experience I'll remember for a lifetime. His passion for history and the sites themselves was immediately evident in the way he shared his knowledge with us and provided an immersive experience. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip!

    Paolo was super knowledgeable and provided a great experience. He was very patient with our group when we wanted to take our time around the ruins. He answered all of our questions and was very obliging to any requests we had. Would recommend to anyone who wants an informative and well-guided tour.

    Paolo was a great resource. He was very knowledgeable about the architecture, what daily life would have been like for the people, and current excavation efforts of Pompeii. He catered the tour to our interests and even made time to show us some hidden gems. He pointed out little details that we would have missed about the city. He made the tour exciting and kept everyone’s interest.He allowed us time to take as many photos as we wanted. Honestly, the best tour I’ve been on.

    Our visit to Pompei was one of the highlights of our holidays thanks to the amazing tour with Paolo. He guided us to the main sites, provided detailed explanations and pointed us to details we would certainly have missed without him. A fabulous tour, highly recommended!

    Paolo was great. Doing Herculaneum and Pompeii is a lot in one day. He worked with us so we could see everything we wanted to / let us explore on our own
