Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Our group had a great adventure with Rafaelle through Pompeii. He is super knowledgable and skilled at putting together a fascinating narrative of Pompeii, thereby bringing the ruins to life for visitors. I would definitely recommend Raffaele for visitors who want to see, expereince and learn about the fascinating place of Pompeii. "
"I cannot recommend Raffaele enough. We were a group of nine (adults and teenagers) and were unsure if the tour would be suitable for our mixed group. However, we all thoroughly enjoyed the visit to Herculaneum and the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, which we would not have liked half as much without a guide. Raffaele taught us a lot about the places and also made a reservation for our lunch in a very nice pizzeria. It was easily the best tour during our cruise. Thank you, Raffaele!"
"The extent of his knowledge of geological fines is incredible. Nino took his time in maneuvering us around the most impressive treasures in the museum. He was very patient with my wife who has mobility issues. All in all an incredible experience we have a new appreciation of the things that existed 2000 years ago."
