A perfect way to see Pompeii. Benedetto was knowledgeable and showed us the best areas in Pompeii. The group was limited to 10 people, and 2 hours was the perfect amount of time. We were able to stay in Pompeii after the tour and Benedetto recommended for us to check out the ongoing archealogical works, which were incredible. 100% recommend this tour.

Benedetto D'Aloise was an awesome guide. We signed up for the 2-hour tour, and he was very conscious about making sure we toured in a manner to avoid crowds as much as possible to maximize our experience. He was great at explaining what we were seeing, providing informed insights based on his archaeological experience, and answering our questions. We highly recommend this tour and Benedetto. Thank you!

Benedetto was a great asset to our tour - knowledgeable, entertaining and able to steer us through the most crowded areas to see the sights without long waits. Just a brilliant communicator of the history of Pompeii and Herculaneum which brought to life how people inhabited both places before the volcanic eruption. So many synergies with our times today. Some fabulously skilled art and crafts skills too. Thank you.
