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.

A great experience with Lucia in Pompei

Sep 2023 • Couples

We were a group of four (two couples) and would give Lucia 6 stars if we could. We went to Pompei in the morning and then Herculaneum in the afternoon. Lucia's depth of knowledge is exceptional and she brought it all to life. We saw the big tour groups walking behind their guide with the earpieces and were so glad we paid more for our own guide. It is so good to be able to ask questions and get such good answers. If you are going to Pompei, book Lucia. You won't be disappointed.

Simply the best tour guide for Pompeii and Herculaneum, ever!

May 2023 • Friends

Lucia is simply the best tour guide for Pompeii and Herculaneum. This is the third time we have booked private tours with her. Her knowledge is vast and she is so passionate about the history, she really brings ancient Pompeii and Herculaneum to life. She is a lovely person too, really friendly and so helpful. We will certainly book with Lucia on our next visit to Italy.

Best decision!

Jul 2023 • Family

From first contact with Lucia she was an absolute pleasure. Booking was simple and she planned it so well for us - told us what time to get the train etc. She waited for us with a sign at the train station and off we went. We have a 4 year old boy and she made her business to get him on her side straight away. He was so comfortable with her immediately. Her knowledge is A+ and her kindness even better. Grazie Lucia! We loved the tour.

Warm, fun and a fountain of information on life in Pompeii

May 2023 • Friends

We were booked in for Lucia's tour of Pompeii by Luisa from Sorrento Silver Star. She was an absolute fountain of information and very personable! She was also able to help us skip the queue at the entrance and elsewhere. Lucia's wonderful anecdotes of everyday life and politics in the city really brought Pompeii to life for us and we had such a great time!

Best Pompeii Guide!!!!!!!

Jun 2023 • Family

I have been to Pompeii several times, and Lucia is the best guide I have EVER had! She tailored the tour to our family's interests and was very patient and informative. Our children had many, many questions, and she was delighted to answer them all. I highly recommend Lucia, especially if you have kids or teenagers in your group. This was a highlight of our Italy vacation!

Incredible tour

May 2023 • Couples

My husband and I visited Pompeii with our daughter and son-in-law.

Lucia was so knowledgeable and accommodating. We changed tour times on her at the last minute and she was so kind about it. She was waiting for us at the entrance to Pompeii after we got off the train from sorrento.

Her tour really brought Pompeii to life. Without her, we would have had no clue what we were looking at. Lucia was by far one of the best guides we had in Italy! I highly recommend!

Private Tour with Lucia of Pompeii and Herculaneum

May 2023

Lucia put together a turnkey experience. We told her what we wanted and she made everything happen. Lucia is a seasoned guide with 36 years of experience. Picked up in Sorrento in a hired car/driver that Lucia arranged. with our luggage Taken to Pompeii and Herculaneum for an outstanding guided tour. Lucia has tons of knowledge on the subject of the Roman Empire. Could have spent days there but this was an excellent overall experience. The only downfall was that it rained all day long. The hired car took us on to our next stop in central Naples. Totally recommend.

Highly knowledgeable, experienced and engaging guide

Aug 2022

We visited Pompeii with Lucia as our private guide. We started the tour at 9 am and finished at 1 pm. Lucia is an experienced guide with a vast knowledge of Pompeii and its history. My wife and I went with our 15-year old girl and 13-year old boy. Fortunately, the weather was not too hot that day and we were able to explore most of the ruins. I was worried whether my children and, particularly, my boy would be able to take four hours of history and sight seeing. Lucia did a wonderful job of keeping us and the children engaged for all of the four hours. She is clear in her language and varies her tone to keep everyone's energy high. With the benefit of hindsight, we could have done the necropolis and skipped a few of the merchants' houses but that would probably have meant walking all the way to the other side and hence not been possible. I would recommend Lucia highly for her depth of knowledge and engaging manner.
