My family and 2 friends (8 total) had a private tour of Pompei with Eliana on New Years Eve. We were very excited about this tour, and Eliana exceeded our expectations! We learned so much, and it was the highlight of our 10 day trip in Italy. Eliana is a true professional, dedicated to the work of a lifetime. She even showed us sites that she has worked on during her career. It is clear that Eliana loves her work, and sharing it with interested humans. My entire family, ages 18 to 78, loved this experience. We will be recommending Eliana and this tour to everyone thinking about visiting Pompeii. Logistics were easy, Eliana was in communication before we arrived, and even advised us on the train travel to and from Pompeii, and helped us get on the correct train back to Naples. Thank you Eliana.

We had an incredible visit with our guide, Francesco! It felt like a local friend was showing us the site - I only wish we’d had more time.

The guide made life in Pompeii come alive and enthused our teenagers. She was enthusiastic, patient and very knowledgeable.

Marina was an amazing tour guide who was able to adapt to our groups needs. She knew to take us to the spots we likely wouldn't go to on our own, without missing the must dos, and left us with all of the places we could do on our own. She taught us the things to note and look for, which was helpful after we left to visit Herculaneum. Eliana was very communicative. Overall 10/10 would recommend!

Despite the rainy and windy day, our tour of Pompeii with Alessandra exceeded expectations. Her English was excellent and easily understood by our group of four Americans. She provided not only the history of the destruction of Pompeii, but how the people of Pompeii lived and worked. She provided her own pictures that helped to describe what we were seeing and understand Pompeii life. We would highly recommend Alessandra!

You need a professional guide to truly experience the Pompei ruins; the information you get along the way will be accurate and correct withplans for Eliana as your guide. Her English is excellent and we had good email communication before our visit. She has PHD in archeology and sound credentials. We learned that “anyone” can obtain a license to guide in Pompeii but we overheard a tremendous amount of inaccurate information being disseminated as we walked through the Ruins. Eliana speaks excellent English, offers insights about the overall archeological process, and was good company for the two hours of our visit. An unexpected bonus: she recommended a restaurant in Castlemarre de Stabia that was one of the best seafood places we dined at over a two week trip to southern Italy.
