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.

A private walking tour through the ancient city of Pompeii, built around the everyday lives of the people who once lived here — not simply a list of dates and monuments, but the homes, bakeries, shops and public spaces where everyday life actually happened. In about two and a half hours, we explore Pompeii together, using the archaeological remains, frescoes, inscriptions and objects to understand how people lived before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Rather than rushing from one famous monument to another, I use the site itself to introduce you to the people who inhabited it: how they worked, ate, traded, socialized and organized their daily lives. The itinerary is private and flexible, and the pace can be adapted around your interests and curiosity. A personal way to experience one of the world's most extraordinary archaeological sites — by looking beyond the ruins and into the lives that once filled them.
- Meeting point at Camping Zeus, via villa dei Misteri, 3 Pompei This private, 2.5-hour tour covers the highlights of the Pompeii Archaeological Park. Since the site spans about 65 hectares across nine districts, no single visit can cover it all — the exact route is shaped in real time around your pace, your interests, and what's accessible on the day. Expect to walk through the main public spaces, a Roman house or two, and the shops and streets where everyday life actually happened, with stops chosen as we go rather than fixed in advance. Itinerary can be customized upon request, feel free to contact me.
