About
This tour will take you to the discovery of a very famous archaeological site but with a rather unusual cut. We will discover together not only the buildings that characterize the site but also the people who lived there.
How did the inhabitants of the city live? what was the condition of the women of Pompeii at the time of the eruption? How did they live and how did they carry out their daily activities?
We will discover this and much more but lightly and in order to make everything accessible to anyone.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- aldegi0 contributionsSara is the best tour guide everAmazing tour guide and lots of flexibility granted by the private tour. We hired Sara for a 2-hours tour of Naples. Sara helped since the beginning in finding the right places to visit in the time frame we had and suggesting the perfect route/spots to optimize the time. We did Chiostro di Santa Chiara, Spaccanapoli, San Gregorio Armeno, Napoli sotterranea. We were travelling with our 7yo son and she made sure the whole tour was interesting for him as well, keeping him involved and engaged. Not only she showed great knowledge but she was also able to make us appreciate hidden gems and spots that are not typically included in the tours. I couldn't recommend this tour guide enough - she is amazing!Written 16 August 2024
- 691harrise0 contributionsHighly recommend for Pompeii/Herculaneum toursWe *highly* recommend Sara's tours of Pompeii and Herculaneum. She's a fantastic guide - extremely knowledgable, highly engaging, and passionate about ancient history.Written 28 January 2024
- gregrutan890 contributionsOnly way to see PompeiiSara made our Pompeii experience so much better. She is clearly passionate about her fields and was able to share so much more knowledge than we could ever get from a guide book.Written 10 October 2023
- H228IJjamesg0 contributionsA Wonderful Day With SaraWe were very lucky to spend a day with Sara exploring Pompeii and Herculaneum and I must admit it was an experience my wife and I will never forget. It is very rare to find a guide so skilled, cultured, and so in love with her homeland. Sara has spent her adult life studying and learning the historical significance of some of the most important periods in our history!! There was not a moment spent with Sara that was boring, and we had a lot of fun discovering secret places, listening to anecdotes and understanding the history! Thank you Sara and we wish you the best of luck in completing your studies. We would highly recommend Sara as a tour guide!!Written 7 October 2023
- U1708DBantonioi0 contributionsNaples guided tourLooking for the best guide in Naples? Don't look any any further! We spent three days in the city with Sara , it's been an experience we'll never forget! It is very rare to find a guide so skilled, cultured, and so in love with her motherland. At the same time not a moment spent with Sara was boring, we had lot of fun discovering secret places, istening to anecdotes, legends, typical sayings! Tks Sara! we can't wait to get back in Naples with you .Written 30 September 2023
- Tourist721156DvR0 contributionsWonderful experience in and around NaplesGreat tour with Sara in Pompei. Sara is kind, intelligent and has good sense of humor. Very knowledgeable on the topics. We had a wonderful experience, doing several tours with her in and around Naples. Strongly recommended.Written 27 September 2023
- CajunNanny0 contributionsTwo special days with SaraAn Italian friend and I secured Sara’s services to guide us on a tour of Pompei and Naples during early September, 2023. Sara was an excellent communicator leading up to and during our time together. She was punctual, personable and very professional. Sara was able to make the ancient city come alive with a combination of facts and stories about the daily lives of the people of Pompei. At the end of the first day I looked forward to the next because I knew Sara would make it exciting and fun. Our second day was in Naples where we met at the Duomo and visited several key architectural and historical sites during our time together. Sara worked well communicating with me in English and my friend in Italian without making us seem laborious and repetitive. I would highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for an expert guide in the Naples area!Written 26 September 2023
- brendahK5283KI0 contributionsWalking with a mural twistEricka Guida was our most excellent guide this afternoon for our walking tour of many special places, including the murals in the Spanish section and the mosaics down into the “metro” … challenging walking tour, but worth it!!! Thank you, Ericka!Written 27 June 2023
- E3702HCfedericaf0 contributionsImmersive tour in PompeiSara is passionate, clear in her explications and very involving. This has been the second tour we have made with her (the first one was in Naples), she is prepared and has an answer for every question. The whole group throughly enjoyed the tour!Written 1 May 2023
- Italianmum0 contributionsIn the heart of Naples with an excellent guideSara is a different guide. Although she is historically prepared she has a personal way to explain during the visit. We visited the Chiostro of Santa Chiara, Duomo di San Gennaro and Cristo Velato with her. A 3 hour tour well worth doing! I absolutely recommend to schedule with Sara. I will contact her again in my next trip to Naples.Written 10 January 2023
- Michele F0 contributionsVery interesting and funThe tour was very interesting and fun. Sara set up every detail (parking lot, tickets, meeting point, etc). She was nice, pleasant and available for everyone.Written 16 August 2022
- FrancescaV3070 contributionsJoyful learning experienceFrom the beginning till the end.. kids were enthusiastic! We had a joyful adventure through the ancient streets of Pompeii. Thanks Sara!Written 6 March 2022
- marforio910 contributionsA very pleasant (and surprising) experience :)Sara has a truly unique way of explaining the historical-artistic treasures of the city with humor, taking you by the hand into a fantastic world that she lives in first person and of which she herself is an integral part. Thus the curiosities and amusing anecdotes that help to make the visit lighter, give you another more important and lasting side effect: like so many pieces of a mosaic, at the end they give you an overview of an extraordinarily rich culture of contamination , which we find both in the monuments and in details that should not be underestimated, such as the dialectal expressions still in use by the Neapolitans or the meanings hidden in the crib. A way of teaching that banishes all forms of pedantry and goes straight to the heart, giving you the right keys to interpret a territory that reveals all its beauty to those who are willing to understand it in all its contradictions and facets.Written 4 December 2021
- sandroi4790 contributionsFun and HistorySara was simply fabolous and passionate. Never boring but rather intriguing. Everybody in our goup was satisfied and amused.Written 2 October 2021
- marcellos3750 contributionsEnjoyable visit of Pompei archeological siteSara led my wife and me for almost four hours in an excellent tour of old Pompei. Her detailed knowledge of daily life in that Roman rich resort and commercial town made the visit lively and spicy; her Neapolitan sense of humor helped us put in the right perspective the "serious" historical and cultural view of ancient Rome by drilling in the wealth of everyday life details available in Pompei if you know where to look for them. Sara skillfully integrated the traditional "top-down" approach to history, where you start with the "macro-facts" you learn at school, with a "bottom-up" view through the eyes of the people who lived there, with fresh and clever views on social and cultural aspects connecting that ancient world to today. Wonderful visit, thank you Sara.Written 2 October 2021

Sara was a fantastic guide, capable of involving our 6 and 8 year old children. She was able to make us experience the atmosphere of the city, with its markets and shops. He made us appreciate even the small details, making any story light thanks to his kindness. Throughout the time we spent together she met our needs (especially those of the children), without waiting to see if she "exceeded" the agreed time for the visit.
The children liked it so much that the next day they asked me if Sara would accompany us again on our holiday.
If I were to return to Naples, I would definitely contact her again. Thanks Sarah!!!

Great tour of Pompei with Sara. By previous experience with other guides, you do not always get the level of knowledge that we got with Sara. She's engaging and extremely knowledgable of all the aspects of Pompei, from the architecture to everyday life at the time. She made the city come alive for us. I went with my family and my wife and we all had different curiosities and questions about the site and she could address the various levels of interest at all time.

I did the tour of Pompeii with Sara in November 2024 and it was beautiful. I went with my 16 and 8 year olds and they were both thrilled with Sara and her storytelling. Sara was fantastic and told us a lot of anecdotes about Pompeii at the time.
So what about it? Highly recommended no one like her.

Pompeii tours led by Sara, a competent and friendly guide. It was the first time at the excavations. Unique and unforgettable experience. It would not have been the same visit without Sara's presence. Three hours in which he told interesting anecdotes, indicated details and curiosities and answered every question with competence and kindness.
Sara, was the added value of this wonderful visit.
Super recommended!!!
Thanks Sarah
