Lilo, (unsure of how his first name is spelled) archaeologist has a lot of knowledge about the structures of Pompeii, has a great sense of humor, entertaining, and truthful in more ways than not. We went as a family alone w/ him and his explanation of our entire Pompeii experience is such a delight from the vast things we have learned of its' history. We would recommend 100% him to all who want to experience Pompeii. An express pass from ALL the crowds added more a hint of special treatment. BRAVO Lilo!!!!

We had a great, informative and fun trip with an engaging and educational guide. Lello told us the historical facts so vividly that we could really imagine what life in Pompeii was like before the eruption. We arrived by train from Naples - and it was also easy to find our guide at the meeting point. This guided Tour was a perfect fit for us; family with older teenagers.

Our guide was excellent. His explanations were great. He brought the city of Pompeii back to life. Our guide had the most up to date information on the findings of the city.

We had a great time, and we learned so much! Lello was fun and engaging as he pointed out little details that grew in the imagination because of how they fit within the context of the big-picture points that he had just made. Even after the tour ended, we ran around Pompeii until closing, checking out other areas and vistas that Lello had suggested.

Ines was absolutely wonderful. Pompeii is very very big and if you are spending a few hours, I highly recommend her. She took us to the most interesting and amazing spots throughout Pompeii. She was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour interesting and enjoyable. I don’t know without her guidance if I would have hits the best spots.

My partner and I were so amazed by Lello and it was truly one of the best tours we've ever had the honour of going to! Our guide Lello was very fun, charming and knowledgeable. He made the tour so personal, and felt like we were transported back to the past and his storytelling skills are superb! Without him we would not understand much of the ruins! He pointed out so many interesting things and kept us engaged throughout. So happy we got to experience this and I will definitely highly recommend this to anyone!!
