We visited Pompeii with Lucia as our private guide. We started the tour at 9 am and finished at 1 pm. Lucia is an experienced guide with a vast knowledge of Pompeii and its history. My wife and I went with our 15-year old girl and 13-year old boy. Fortunately, the weather was not too hot that day and we were able to explore most of the ruins. I was worried whether my children and, particularly, my boy would be able to take four hours of history and sight seeing. Lucia did a wonderful job of keeping us and the children engaged for all of the four hours. She is clear in her language and varies her tone to keep everyone's energy high. With the benefit of hindsight, we could have done the necropolis and skipped a few of the merchants' houses but that would probably have meant walking all the way to the other side and hence not been possible. I would recommend Lucia highly for her depth of knowledge and engaging manner.…

Lucia is one of the best archeological guides that there is, it is that simple - we have used her and her team for years, for Pompeii, Herculaneum (Ercolano) and Paestum - and also the national archeolocial museum in Naples and the Pompeii museum -simply the best of the best. If you go to archeological ruins without a guide, you are missing most of what there is to see and learn - I see some people walking around with guidebooks thinking that is a substitute - it is not - you must have a serious trained archeologist as your guide. And this is Lucia and her team.…

We spent two days packed with information and historical insights with Lucia at Herculaneum and Pompeji. We were impressed by her broad and deep knowledge. She gave us a lot of context, not only dates and figures. We enjoyed her engaged style and really appreciate that she tirelessly gave us the facts over 6hrs (!) in Pompeji. They passed very quickly and we learned and saw so much. It was amazing. On top, she organized tickets, drivers and a guide for Naples and Paestum, as well. When coming back, we'll definitely book her again. Thank you very much!…

Lucia gave our family of 5 a fantastic 2 hour tour of Pompeii. She did an amazing job interacting with our 3 young children and keeping them interested in the site and history. Her knowledge of the site is incredible and made our trip so much more interesting. She also had great suggestions of where to visit after our tour, and our family explored Pompeii for about 5 hours total. …
