    Pina is the best tour guide!!! We spent a day and a half with the lovely Pina Esposito. First a half day at the Archeological museum in Naples and the next day at Pompeii. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, and so lovely to be with. We learned so much at the museum with her. She gave us a lot of context for what we were about to see next day in Pompeii. She’s a historian and a teacher and a fantastic tour guide. English is perfect and her driver that took us to Pompeii has a very nice car! You’d be lucky to spend time in Napoli/Pompeii with Pina Esposito. Don’t try to wing it yourself. There’s so much to be gained from her knowledge. Enjoy.

    Walking through Pompeii with an expert archeologist was a dream! I have visited twice before in years past and was completely lost, overwhelmed and exhausted. Pina led our small group through the maze of the city, explaining the highlights to bring the past to life. We were a smart and curious group--Pina met our expectations by answering all our questions. She was also attentive to our personal needs, like water, coffee, ice cream, and bathroom breaks. I highly recommend Pina for those who want a knowledgeable and attentive guide!

    Pina gave us an amazing day at Pompeii and Herculaneum. She is deeply knowledgeable about these sites (see her impressive bio) and shared so much information with us. We arranged for her to pick us up at the cruise port and take care of all of the tickets and transportation to the 2 sites. That worked out very well, because we didn't have to "think" about any of that. All we had to do was listen, learn, see and ask questions. Our day with Pina really helped bring these ancient places AND their residents to life. Thank you, Pina, for sharing your intimate knowledge of these two sites with us. It's on our list to come back to Naples and have you take us to some of the other nearby sites!

    We had a wonderful day touring Pompei, lunching at a winery on Mt Vesuvius, and then visiting the Naples National Archeological Museum. Our guide, Pina, expertly guided us through the roadways of Pompei, bringing to life the theaters, houses, and businesses that once existed there, and the people who inhabited them. After visiting Pompei, we drove up to Cantina del Vesuvius for a brief, but interesting winery tour and a lovely tasting of 4 wines accompanied by a yummy lunch. After lunch we enjoyed a drive through Naples then a very interesting and informative tour of the Naples National Archeological Museum where we were able to view mosaics, frescoes, and household objects recovered from Pompei and the surrounding areas.

    Pina Esposito was a private tour guide to my wife and me for four days in March of 2024. Under her guidance, we toured Herculaneum, Pompeii, Villa Oplontis, the Amalfi coast, a vineyard on the slopes of Vesuvius, the city of Naples, the Naples Archeological Museum, and the Phlegraen Fields. Each morning we were greeted by both Pina and a friendly and capable driver for the day. Having the drivers gave Pina the freedom to focus on her running commentary as she had so much to show and educate us about. Her depth of knowledge as an archeologist, and her unapologetic standing as a true Neapolitan made her tours both engaging and informative. There seemed to be no question to which she did not have an answer. Her answers often yielded a greater appreciation and understanding of what we had previously seen in Rome and elsewhere. It was noteworthy to observe that, everyplace we went, Pina was warmly and respectfully greeted by the on-site professionals. Pina’s tour of the Phlegraen fields was a tour de force that took these “off the main track” sites and really brought everything together as a perspective on the long line of history and civilization in central Italy and Naples, and the peoples who have walked these landscapes before us. It was the perfect closing day for our tours. We highly recommend Pina to anyone seeking an insightful and enjoyable tour.
