My husband and I hired Margherita as a private guide for our two hour tour of Pompeii. She was fabulous! She met us at the train station and then walked together with us to the Pompeii entrance and helped us get her tickets. Pompeii is huge - there is so much to see. We wouldn't have had the same understanding of what we were looking at had we not had a guide with us and Margherita really knew her stuff. She made everything come alive. She is obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about her job as a guide. If we were to go back, I would definitely hire her again to take us to some other spots in Pompeii. I would 100 % recommend her.

Margherita is a fabulous guide and was very engaging throughout the tour, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We learned heaps about Pompeii's history and she pointed out lots of interesting sights and bits of Neapolitan culture along the way. She even gave us tips about food places to check out in Naples, so all in all fantastic experience!

I did this tour with Margherita and I loved it! She is very knowledgeable and she kept it always engaging and entertaining. I definitely recommend any tour with Margherita!

The best guided-tour ever. A wonderful walk through the ancient city of Pompeii, we’ve learned a lot (both historic facts and many facts you can’t find in history books for sure!) thanks to our guide Margherita. She is funny, professional and knowledgeable, she made the tour a pleasant and active experience! So recommend, worth the money!

We visited the archaeological site of Pompeii during a stop on our cruise in Naples. Margherita, with her preparation and overwhelming passion for her work, was able to involve us and make us love immensely this site which we were visiting for the first time. It was wonderful to walk through the streets of this "buried" city reliving the trades, customs and pastimes of its inhabitants. Heartfelt thanks to Margherita who left us an indelible memory.

Era da tempo che io ed il mio gruppo di amici desideravamo scoprire le bellezze di Pompei e ci siamo affidati a Margherita per conoscerne la storia e i misteri. Pompei è stupenda, soprattutto se vista e analizzata con gli occhi di un’esperta quale Margherita che ci ha accompagnati in questo viaggio immergendoci nella storia tra racconti e sorrisi. Una giornata davvero indimenticabile, grazie ancora e complimenti per la professionalità e tutta la passione ed il sapere che ci hai trasmesso!!!!

Avevo già visitato gli scavi in precedenza, ma questa volta è stata un’esperienza completamente diversa. Passeggiare tra le stradine piene di storia è infatti emozionante, ma lo è decisamente di più se si è in compagnia di una guida capace di farti appassionare a ciò che vedi, spiegandoti passo passo ciò che ti circonda e raccontandoti aneddoti che non si trovano neppure online. Assolutamente consigliato anche come regalo (io l’ho fatto per un mio amico ed anche lui è rimasto super felice)!

Ho visitato Pompei a gennaio con i miei amici, avendo come guida una persona eccezionale!! Oltre alle nozioni storiche, Margherita ci ha raccontato tantissime curiosità sulla vita dell’epoca (che non si leggono nei libri), facendoci letteralmente innamorare della cultura pompeiana. Tour assolutamente consigliato!!!!
