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.

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...
