"We chose Raffaele as our private guide because he is an archeologists. He provided above average insights, references, and personal experience with his professional work. Raffaele is an excellent communicator with a good sense of humor. He was sensitive to avoiding crowded groups. We are seniors - Raffaele was helpful to choose paths that were easier for us to navigate. Raffaele is excellent! "

"Raffaele firstly thanks for an amazing day. You are a wealth of knowledge and just know exactly what to look at and the best times to miss some of the crowds. If anyone is thinking of booking this tour with this rock star don’t hesitate for a second. "

"Raffaele is a highly knowledgeable guide with a passion for archaeology and for Herculaeum. Our 2-hour tour was just the right length to gain a fascinating insight into the tragic events that took place and the beauty of the Roman ruins "

"My family had to cancel their trip to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Naples due to illness, so I went on my own. As I am in my 80's I felt a bit daunted by the idea, but I could not be more delighted with the way the trip turned out. I was driven back and forth for each visit by Roberto, who was very pleasant and efficient, and was guided around by Raffaele. I would like to say how very much I enjoyed meeting and spending time with him. Raffaele was extremely knowledgeable and informative about all the places we visited; he was very patient with a slow moving old lady, helping me up high kerb stones and steps and taking photos of mosaics and other features that I was unable to get to. I hope he will send me any extra pictures that he took. He was very helpful in pointing out details and telling about the history of the various places. I shall always remember his kindness and look upon him as a new friend. "

"We very much enjoyed our time with Raffaele. His communication prior to meeting was excellent. He directed us to all the most impressive sights, but more importantly was able to point out small details that would be easily be missed had we been wandering by ourselves...a highlight for me being surviving glass shards in a window....and explaining their importance. He was also excellent at providing political context for the excavations and different perspectives of archaeology. We would thoroughly recommend Raffaele."

"Raffaele is a great guide! So knowledgeable and flexible. "
