About
Do you want to see the ruins of Pompeii and Archaeological collections of Naples? What better way to do it than with a Vesuvian archaeologist and licensed guide! Without waiting for queues (I have PRIORITY LINE) we will leave from the main entrance of the city: Porta Marina Superiore. After this 2 hours tour at Pompeii and after a lunch break, let's go to the Archeological Museum! Get an insiders' look into the Archeological Museum with me.
Inside the museum, the collections show you items discovered during the official excavations of these ancient cities. From frescoes, mosaics, objects from private houses, medical instruments, statues and more. Check them out and hear interesting facts and stories behind, and please, ask away! I can help create a better image in your head, and you'll see how life used to be in a typical Roman colony.
This museum is famous because of the Vesuvian collection, as you will see, the other section the Farnese collection.

- AnnMaree C0 contributionsFabulous tour with RaphaelRaphael was a fantastic guide. He made sure everyone was there and assisted with tickets. He was really informative and humorous. We are so glad we took this tour, rather than a self guided tour, in the two hours we saw so much. We went early December and weather was great with only small crowds. Would highly recommend.Written December 7, 2024
- Jeannie T0 contributionsA must do to appreciate the true history of Pompeii.Ortella was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We covered so much in a quick 2 hours.

- Valdemaralbert0 contributionsFun and informative Pompeii tourWould really like to commend this tour! Our guide was simply fantastic! Santa was really passionate and informative about Pompeii while maintaining high levels of enjoyability! She had her vision of the key parts of what to see in Pompeii with the time given, which we followed, while being completely open to changing the route and adapting the tour after whatever wishes to see could be. As tourists, it was just a fun experience. We got the story of Pompeii and enjoyed to able to see it through our guides vision in the best way possible. Un bravissimo viaggio!Written October 20, 2024

- chrissyr0 contributionsDisappointingVery disappointed with the guide. Very friendly but her English was not of a standard for guiding. Found her extremely difficult to understand and most of the time she had language problems answering any questions. Was not the experience I was expecting. Would not recommend this guide or the tour.

- Christopher B0 contributionsGreat tour guide!Wonderful tour guide &. were lucky with almost no one there that day due to a documentary crew doing some filming at the site.Written September 18, 2024
- Pathfinder5630380 contributionsA Day in the RuinsRoberta referred to us as her “family” and she treated us as such for the entire tour. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and had a great sense of humor. When the official tour was over, she provided us with suggestions on other parts of the ruins to visit on our own, and some great spots for pictures. The ruins are a bit of a maze, so be sure to identify the exit if you don’t leave with your guide.Written September 14, 2024
- aroc260 contributionsPompeii, Positano, and Sorrento in One day, 5 StarsPompeii + Positano and Sorrento - 5 Stars What an amazing perfect day. Our guide for the day was Riccardo. Riccardo was knowledgeable and easily picked up on our interests to satisfy our party of five (3 Adults and 2 kids 13 and 10). Our first stop of Pompeii, Riccardo was able to share his archeological knowledge and insight while exploring the grounds. He made sure the 2 hours were well spent. From there we drove to beautiful Positano, stopping on the way for amazing photo views and Granita. Once we got to Positano he recommended an amazing restaurant and gave us the history on the town. From there we made our way to Sorrento to explore the town, views, and best Gelato. For the time we had ashore, he made every second count. Thank you Raf and Riccardo for making our day a memorable experience.Written September 3, 2024

Visiting Pompeii with a real archaeologist is not only a privilege, but also a must! Raffaele is super passionate and incredibly well informed about the site itself. He knows the areas that are the best, most beautiful and recently opened, and leads you directly there, all the while providing insightful bits of backstory—in this way, we made the most of our visit and learned so much! We saw other people wandering around aimlessly, not knowing where to go...such a waste of time and energy in this gorgeous locale. Friendly, relaxed and humorous, Raffaele was everything you could hope for in a guide. Don't miss this opportunity to see Pompeii through his eyes!
