Experience Art & Culture Tours in Capri with Withlocals

"Roberto brought us through Pompeii with ease and amazing information. Being an archeologist who had worked on the site his insight was incredible. We had 2 teenagers with us who unknowingly learned a lot. The site is so much bigger than expected so having a knowledgeable guide was a must. I highly recommend this tour! "

"Roberto went above and beyond, even helping us secure a transfer when we learned that the regional train we were planning was usually late. His in depth knowledge of Pompeii brought the city to life for us. He is also very personable with a quick sense of humor. He also was very flexible and accommodating when you travel partner was having some struggles with the weather. Highly recommend, Roberto! "

"After many years, finally a visit to Pompeii with an archologist (not just a tour guide hired by a travel or cruise outfit), who could point out the less obvious aspects of fragments of an ancient culture/civilization or stone walls . . . Roberto brought to our collective experience an insight, breath of knowledge, and willingness to answer the mundane and “strange” questions posed by members of our foursome. He also acknowledged the experiences/knowledge of individuals within the group of four that he shepherded around Pompeii for three hours under clear hot blue skies, taking time to rest, find shady spots to explain aspects of the pre-roman, roman and post-eruption history of Pompeii. We got to see, experience the lesser visited portions of the archeological site as well as the main touristy portions – The Forum. The companions of this excursion were most enthusiastic and very satisfied with the overall outing, including Roberto’s arranging for a shuttle driver to pick us up and returning us to our cruise ship docking in Naples. The only regret that I had, that the tour “only” lasted three hours, I could have continued to explore Pompeii in the company of Roberto, till the sun set over Vesuvius and the Archeological Park threw us out . . . ah, maybe next time . . . "

"Yana is very knowledgeable and even helped me to arrange transportation. I had the best day! "

"Firstly, support this amazing local archaeologist instead of other tour companies. If you are considering other options...DON'T - Raffaele is the best. He is friendly, funny and welcoming, but also SO knowledgeable and brings Herculaneum to life in such a memorable way - you can really imagine what it was like before. He knows the best routes to visit the most important areas and is so knowledgeable, he answered every question we had with ease. It was just three of us on the tour and we were questioning whether to splurge on a private tour (our dollar is very bad compared to the euro so it was a lot for us), but this was one place we were so happy we did spend the little bit extra. If you only have a short time in the Amalfi area, definitely do this!!! Just an insane look into this event but also life 2000 years ago. Thanks Raffaele!!"

"Pompeii is fascinating, bright to life by Carlo whose knowledge and enthusiasm made all the difference for my daughter and me. Thanks, Carlo! Ian "

"We booked our tour with Carlo at very short notice, and he couldn’t have been more accommodating, offering helpful advice like the best place to park for easy access to the site. In just two hours, we learned so much about Pompeii. Carlo was incredibly engaging, sharing insights you wouldn’t find in a guidebook. We covered all the key sites, and the time flew by - it would have taken us a whole day to navigate the site on our own, and we wouldn't have covered half the sights. Carlo is a fantastic guide, kind, thoughtful, and deeply passionate. We wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with him!"

"Initially we were considering taking the tour with the audio guide- but finally decided to have a tour guide and I am so happy we did. We scheduled a private tour for a small group of five. The tour ended up being one of the high points of our trip to Italy. I would highly recommend booking a private tour for Pompeii. There is so much to learn and so much ground to cover in a trip. Carlos was awesome! We couldn’t be happier with the visit. You will learn so much more with a private tour than going on your own. Carlos made the tour interesting for all ages in our group. It is definitely worth the money to get this tour. Thanks Carlos for an awesome experience! "

"Our tour with Raffaele was wonderful! He is so knowledgeable and engaged us the entire tour. Would highly recommend booking with Raffaele. His experience with Roman history is unmatched! Loved every moment and learned so much! "

"Communication with Carlo was excellent both before the tour & during. He speaks perfect English. He helped with what train we needed to catch from Naples & met us at the station. He was super organised with water & tickets. Carlo was extremely knowledgeable about Pompeii & could answer all our questions. His itinerary was perfect, we saw so much & he knew where to take all the good photos. He even walked us back to the train & helped us get tickets. The tour was like hanging out with an old friend! Would recommend. "
