I'm Vincenzo P., your private tour guide in Pompei
Guide #56735
Most people come to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius to see extraordinary ruins. I show you the people who made them extraordinary. I'm Vincenzo, a licensed Tour Guide and Tour Leader specializing in Pompeii, Herculaneum, Mount Vesuvius and the wider Vesuvian area — where I was born, raised, and still live. I started working in tourism in 2007 and became a licensed Tour Guide in 2017. I introduce my guests to these sites through everyday life, rather than beginning with dates and monuments: what happened inside a bakery, a bathhouse, a shop. When the place allows it, I introduce you to people who really lived there — men and women whose choices, work and ambitions are still visible in the archaeological evidence, one house, one fresco, one inscription at a time. Every tour is private, shaped around your pace and curiosity, whether it's your first visit to Pompeii or Herculaneum, or you're looking to go beyond the highlights. Licensed Tour Guide and Tour Leader If you're looking for more than a sightseeing tour, I'd be glad to show you what daily life in Pompeii and Herculaneum actually looked like. Because the past is made of people.

Vincenzo is a fantastic tour guide. Experienced, passionate, friendly, and knowledgeable. We feel lucky to have had him share his knowledge with us. Vincenzo showed us around Herculaneum, a place I've wanted to visit since I read about it as a child. He provided a great balance of interesting stories, facts and left time for questions when I was curious - and he knew...

October 2026Thank you, Jon, for such a thoughtful review. It was a real pleasure to share Herculaneum with you both, especially knowing how long you had wanted to visit. I truly enjoyed our conversations and your curiosity throughout the morning. For me, that exchange is what makes guiding so rewarding. I’m very glad I could make your long-awaited visit a memorable one. Thank you...

Vincenzo was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable about Herculaneum, provided excellent historical background, and pointed out important artifacts/locations. I studied Pompeii/Herculaneum in university, so I was looking for an in depth tour, and Vincenzo did a fantastic job! My dad, who knew only what I lectured him about on the train ride over, also thoroughly enjoyed...

Vincenzo is a knowledgeable and experienced guide. He did an exceptional job with communication and organization for us before the trip, arranging transportation and a very special lunch of local food at an agriturismo. The tour itself was excellent. Vincenzo has a deep knowledge of history and archaeology and we enjoyed the intimacy and refinement of Herculaneum more...

September 2026Thank you, Robin, for your thoughtful review and for taking the time to share your experience. It was a real pleasure to spend the afternoon with you all and to take care of the arrangements that made the day a little more special. I’m particularly glad that you enjoyed Herculaneum and its more intimate atmosphere — it was a pleasure to share it with you. It was...

I can't speak highly enough about Vincenzo! Communication was clear and he did a great job personalizing the tour for our group. He was also exceptionally understanding when we needed to adjust timing. As for the tour itself, it was exactly what we asked for! We had asked him to shorten the tour because we didn't have enough time and he hit as many of the big sites as...

September 2026Thank you so much, Julie, for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure meeting you and your family and showing you Herculaneum. I’m especially happy to hear that it became a highlight even for the person in your group who wasn’t initially convinced about the visit — that was a lovely surprise! Thank you again for choosing to explore Herculaneum with me. It was a pleasure...
