Carlo was wonderful and so kind! His tour was informative and enjoyable. He was also beyond helpful, with tips on how to purchase tickets online, helping to ensure an easy meet up for the tour, and showing us to the train station on our way out. We are grateful to him for a wonderful Pompeii experience and wouldn’t hesitate to book his tour again!

Carlo was fantastic! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. Also, a great communicator. He brought Pompeii alive for us. Ive wanted to visit since a child and Carlo walk thru made it worth the trip. If you are in Rome, take a day and go to Pompeii. Sign up with Carlo. You will come away with new appreciation of the history. We keep using Toursbylocals because they have high caliber guides like Carlo.

Today we toured the Pompeii ruins with Carlo. We have used Tours by Locals several times and Carlo was the best. He communicated very promptly each time we had a question in advance and was extremely helpful with all our questions. He met us with a smile and conducted an expert tour. He was an expert guide and made the experience very fun. We highly recommend hiring Carlos if you are planning a trip to Pompeii. He will exceed your expectations every step of the way.

Very dynamic and joyful guide. We were four in our group. He found a way to move us ahead when there were line-ups. We found his narrative interesting and pertinent, getting us to feel the Pompei before the eruption … and after. Michel

Carlo was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He was also very professional - we were 30 minutes late (train broke down) and he still gave us the full time we paid for - what a gentleman. Would totally recommend!!
