Uncover the best of Day Trip to Naples the local Way

"Our family of 6 took a day trip from Rome to Pompeii and hired Roberto as our guide. The whole experience was wonderful!! Roberto is an excellent communicator. He was available from the time we booked. He helped me navigate how to purchase train tickets, provided the link to purchase advance tickets for Pompeii, and even arranged for a private driver to pick us up from the train station. Our train was delayed an hour and both Roberto and our driver were very understanding and accommodating. The tour was fantastic. Walking through Pompeii with an archaeologist was an exceptional experience. Having worked on the site himself, he is a wealth of interesting information. I especially appreciated how patient and engaging he was with our 9 year old twin boys. I am sure we would not have had such a great experience in Pompeii without him. Everyone in our party agreed that Roberto made it a very special day!"

"If you would like an enjoyable and knowledgeable guide through Pompeii, I highly recommend Roberto. He is a weath of knowledge about the entire area and the site! Weeks before our arrival he guided us on our journey from Rome to Pompeii with the purchase of our train tickets, once we were in Pompeii, he met us at the train station and showed us local places of interest and places to grab a bite along the way. Once we arrived at the site he filled us in on the history and was full of information from ancient times, until modern day and the continuation of the excavation. Such a wonderful guide."

"Roberto was wonderful. He helped us navigate the rails as we took 2 trains from Rome. He gave us a terrific tour and did a fantastic job of explaining everything. He is very knowledgeable and and was able to answer all our questions. Don’t even try to tour Pompeii without Roberto. "

"This tour was the highlight of our Italy trip. Roberto made planning this day trip from Rome effortless for us. He arranged transportation, and customized our trip to both Pompeii and Herculaneum. His knowledge and insight of the sites was impressive, and we were able to learn a great deal about the history of these areas from him. Because we had limited time, we really appreciated being able to go right to areas of significance, and were left awestruck with all of the things we saw. We wouldn’t have been able to walk away with the same knowledge doing a self tour, and are so glad we toured with Roberto. We left wanting to spend more time exploring, and hope to make a return trip soon."

"Our tour with Roberto was beyond any expectation we could’ve had for Pompeii. His knowledge, professionalism, passion and expertise in and around Pompeii was astounding. The fact that he held the attention of our 16 and 15 year-old sons the whole time was fantastic! The kids were captivated, interested, and even were asking questions throughout the tour. Pompeii itself is a phenomenal experience, but having a PhD in archeology give a tour; explaining things in ways than you can imagine how life was like in Pompeii almost 2000 years ago was extremely rewarding. We would recommend Roberto to any one. On a side note - our family was vacationing in Rome. We took a day trip to Pompeii for the tour. Roberto organized a driver to take us to the Amalfi coast for a couple of hours for lunch and then back to the train station to head back to Rome. Roberto went the extra mile to make our whole day an amazing experience! "

"Roberto couldn't come but another archaeologist, Francesco, filled in. He was a few minutes early--like my friend and I were. He helped navigate us through the Napoli Centrale train station to the local that wisked us off to Pompeii. He was pleasant, friendly, helpful, and funny--and incredibly knowledgeable. We talked all the way to Pompeii about what we'd see, small talk to get to know each other, and gave some tips about how to handle the immense information and historic treasures that would overwhelm us there. You could spend a week looking at everything there and learning about time periods, building materials, it's founding--on and on. But when the trip came to an end Francisco offered some ideas to see if we wanted to hang out a little more, or to consider another time. We'll be back, and other sites he suggested in the region. It was great, hope to meet him and Roberto again."
