Since I was a child I loved history of ancient Greeks and Romans and also the Art history from the Middle Ages to the Avanguardie of the '900.

We will discover the ancient roman life through the ruins of Pompeii. With the knowledge of an archaeologist you can understand the little details of the daily life and the amazing architectonic buildings that had made Romans one of the most important civilizations the world has ever seen. This 3-hour tour is a great way to see the most important areas of the ancient city while also offering the opportunity to discover hidden and secret areas out of the tourist routes. Availability, preparation and organization are my greatest battle horses to transmit the love that I feel for my country and its history and I will show you that in this tour that will make you feel like travelling back in time. By the way, as Licensed Guide I have the priority to buy the tickets so SKIP THE LINE service included .
Robert's tour was absolutely a highlight of our trip. His knowledge, openness and flexibility meant our tour of Pompeii felt one-of-a-kind, fun, extremely informative and genuinely transformative of our understanding of the history and events of the historical site. He helped contextualise the life and history of the historical people of Pompeii, and we're incredibly grateful for his efforts. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!
Roberto was great - by far the best tour we took in Italy. He really helped us understand the ruins. He taught us what the terrain looked like, how the people lived and used the city as well as why the ruins are so unique and well-preserved today. We walked away feeling like we understood and appreciated them as more than just a tourist site. Thank you Roberto!
Roberto’s tour was excellent! He pointed out so many details we would have missed and really painted a vivid picture of ancient Pompei. Our family agreed his tour was the highlight of our trip!
Had a great tour with Roberto! He is very knowledgeable and made the tour both interesting and fun! I highly recommend him!
Fantastic tour. We did the 3 hour tour with Roberto. The experience was flawless from start to finish. Roberto was communicative before the meeting and gave us clear instructions where to meet and was there waiting for us when we arrived. The tour itself was wonderful. Roberto is knowledgeable and describes things clearly. It was a hot day in August but the 3 hours went by quickly. Great to see the site with an expert who seems enthusiastic about what he does and conveys that in his work. So glad we did it. Highly recommend.
5 star private tour and service from Roberto. He was a very professional guide with excellent communication from start to finish. Worked easily with my group of 14 to show the us the sights, educate us on all of the important history while keeping us off the typical tourist path in Pompeii so it still felt like a very private tour during a busy tourist season. On time and purchased all of our 14 tickets ahead of time so we could skip the line. Trustworthy guide I would highly recommend to anyone.
With this tour you have the possibility to see and understand very clearly the public areas: Theatres, Thermal Baths, Forum (Main Square), Sacred Area (temple of Apollo, Temple of Jupiter). We will investigate also the private building: Thermopolium (a roman "fast food"), Bakery, the Fabric Market. I'll show and explain you one of the most well preserved roman houses and the famous plaster casts of the victims of the eruption of 79 A. D. *** This TOUR CAN BE CUSTOMIZED 100% to YOUR NEEDS and REQUESTS and FOR MORE PEOPLE with a DIFFERENT PRICE ***
