This was such a great tour. You cannot visit Pompeii without a guide because there is just too many small details. Paolo was amazing - so knowledgeable.

During my visit to Pompeii, I had the pleasure of being guided by Theresa, and she truly made the experience unforgettable. Not only was she an exceptional guide, but her deep passion for archaeology was evident in every word she spoke. She didn't just provide the usual facts; she brought the ancient city to life in a way that made us feel like we had stepped back in time. Her knowledge was vast and presented in such an engaging manner that it never felt repetitive. She gave us vivid insights into what daily life was like in Pompeii before the eruption, making the ruins around us come alive with history. Theresa's ability to weave storytelling with expert knowledge made this visit one of the most memorable and enriching experiences I've had. If you're visiting Pompeii, I highly recommend seeking her out!
