Anna was a wonderful guide! Extremely knowledgeable about that site, history and any question we posed.

Brett_L

Lelo was fantastic! He was helpful, informative, friendly and humorous. He made it a wonderful and memorable experience.

Karen_H

The guide was absolutely amazing. He is an archeologist that had actually worked on site. He explained everything in detail . We would never have understood everything without his comments. Totally worth having a guide!

Hartmut S

Ginevra had arranged for the two of us to participate in a small (max 14 people) guided tour of Herculaneum. The guide – Loretta – was an excellent guide, her enthusiasm and explanations made us feel as if we were walking in a living city.

Our tour of Herculaneum was spectacular! Ancient ruins that are largely intact and easy to visualize how they looked centuries ago. Our guide, Loretta, was fantastic. She was enthusiastic, knowledgable and totally professional: she really made the site come to life. We learned so much while having a lot of fun.

We researched available tours for Herculaneum and were really pleased with our choice. Our guide knew the site and history extraordinarily well and we now have wonderful memories of a very full day. If you are looking for an in-depth and knowledgable expert private tour, we can strongly recommend this one. Thank you!

<p>Roberta was amazing! We would have missed so much if she had not been there. Her excitement and knowledge of the site made the tour one of my favorites! Wish i could give 10 stars!</p>

<p>Even though the private tour was a tad expensive, it was well worth it and our guide, Roberta, was brilliant. She knew her subject and delivered it with real passion. It was a delightful and insightful day. I would thoroughly recommend this tour if you are interested in the detail of the Roman civilization and if you are assigned Roberta, you will have a most enjoyable and entertaining day.</p>

Abbiamo prenotato i biglietti on line per la visita di Ercolano scavi e all’arrivo abbiamo preso una guida privata Luciano Leone , bravissimo soprattutto avendo nel gruppo 6 bambini , più o meno della stessa età 8 anni , è riuscito a mantenere la loro attenzione per ben 2 ore . Visita molto piacevole e anche divertente che , ovviamente, se fatta da soli non avrebbe avuto la stessa riuscita .
