    Mario coordinated everything for us including organizing the guide from his team and a lovely driver from Pompeii train station to the site. Our amazing guide Andrew was able to share so much about Pompeii and our family loved the day.

    Dear Nancy, thank you so much for your kind words. I’m very happy everything worked smoothly, from the coordination before the tour to the transfer from Pompeii train station and the guided visit. For me, a private experience means taking care of every detail so guests can relax and enjoy the day. Andrew is a wonderful guide, and I’m glad he shared Pompeii with passion,...

    Mario was an excellent guide, keeping both the adults and the kids (10, 14, 15) in our group engaged. He was able to share not only his experience as an archaeologist and tour guide at Pompeii, but also his knowledge of modern history of the Pompeii/Naples area.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure guiding your family through Pompeii. One of the things I love most about being a private guide is adapting the tour to everyone in the group — adults, teenagers, and children — so that Pompeii does not feel like a lesson, but like a real journey back in time.

    We cannot recommend Mario Frenna enough. He is fabulous and a third generation guide in the Naples/Amalfi Coast area. My husband and I booked him for an Amalfi coast tour leaving from Salerno. He picked us up at the hotel and was so personable and knowledgeable from the first moment. He asked at the start if their was anything specific we wanted to get out of the day, so...

    Dear Gwen, Thank you so much for your beautiful review. It truly means a lot to me. My goal is always to create a personal and authentic experience, not just to show places but to share the real spirit of the Amalfi Coast. Even in February there is a special charm, with softer light and fewer crowds. It was a pleasure spending the day with you both, and I hope to welcome...

    Mario’s knowledge of the area allowed us to navigate the busy holiday weekend without incident or delay. He timed our itinerary perfectly to avoid traffic jams and allow us to see as much of the area as possible. We were able to see several cities on the Amalfi Coast, make and eat pizza at a family-owned Italian restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, and tour the...

    Dear Deborah, Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m very happy we were able to plan the day carefully and make the most of such a busy holiday weekend. Timing and flexibility are essential on the Amalfi Coast, and I’m glad everything flowed smoothly. From pizza overlooking the sea to exploring Herculaneum with our archaeologist guide, it was a pleasure sharing these...
