Our tour with Roberto was exceptionally good! His deep knowledge of Roman history and his expertise as an archaeologist gave us the best tour possible. Three generations -grandparents, parents and child, were spellbound and agreed that Roberto could not have been better!
Roberto was an excellent tour guide. He made Pompeii come alive as he took us on our two hour tour which was the right amount of time for two ladies in their seventies. My friend and I throughly enjoyed learning from an expert about this amazing place. You cannot go wrong with Roberto. Highly recommend.
Our family of four (my husband, our two college-aged kids, and I) recently had the pleasure of exploring Pompeii with Roberto as our guide. While we already had some basic knowledge of Pompeii, Roberto brought the ancient city to life in a way that only an experienced guide can. He didn’t just recite facts—he told the story of Pompeii, weaving together historical details, cultural context, and fascinating anecdotes that kept all of us engaged, even our teens. He explained not just what we were seeing but why it mattered, from the social dynamics of the time to the architectural innovations. He showed us spots that weren’t packed with tourists, giving us a more intimate and unique experience of Pompeii. We highly recommend Roberto to anyone visiting Pompeii, his knowledge, professionalism, and passion for his work made our visit unforgettable.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Roberto and his the Pompeii experience!
Roberto was a fantastic, informative guide who brought the city of Pompeii to life for our family. He pointed out so many interesting details and engaged with our children by asking them to guess the purpose of certain features. I highly recommend Roberto to guide you in Pompeii.
Roberto is a treasure. Very knowledgeable with his expertise as an archeologist and very effective in explaining the layers of history, culture and discovery still unfolding at Pompeii. He is also very personable and clearly excited by what he is imparting to his guests. We would seek him again with no hesitation.
In this 2 hours tour of Pompeii you can see in detail the most important public buildings: the area of the Theaters, Sacred areas, the Forum (main square) and all its surroundings.
