About
Pompeii is what I define a dynamic museum: a knowledgeable visit is not the mathematic sum of single monuments, but the way they interact with each other in order to perceive and experience the daily life of the ancient inhabitants.
Pompeii, Campania, Italy

Alex was a great guide, very knowledgeable and able to share his expertise and passion with adults, teenagers and younger kids. We did the 4:00pm tour to avoid earlier crowds and heat and we’re very happy with our choice. We highly recommend visiting Pompei with Alex as a guide, he was truly inspiring and fun.

We cannot recommend this tour highly enough! This really was the best tour we had during our visit in all of Italy. Alex was flexible (we were late), honest (returned 95 euros I paid for entry on a first Sunday), and personable (had all of kids and adults engaged). He is incredibly friendly but also very knowledgeable and genuinely interested in sharing what he knows. The afternoon tour was terrific because it was a bit cooler, offered some shade, and was less crowded. Take this tour!

Alex is by far the best guide we've ever had on all our journeys. My wife and I had an incredible time with him, he is so detailed and enthusiastic and shares his personal touch which makes Pompeii come truly alive.
He has an excellent command of English too.
Thank you and we will definitely be booking with him on our next trip.

Alex was wonderfully engaging and full of information. He brought the world of Pompeii to life and captured our 7 and 9 year olds' attention for the entire tour. He was also very helpful and patient as we had some confusion with the Circumvesuviana in getting to the site. We would absolutely book with him again!

After touring the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Vatican museums in child-friendly tours this was BY FAR the best (the others were fantastic too but…). Alex had my 3 young daughters trailing him like puppies, keeping them thoroughly engaged. As a adults, we also learned so much. Alex is a scholar regarding Pompeii (answered scores of questions) and has an excellent repertoire with children. We will most certainly come back again to the site to learn even more with Alex when opportunity affords. Ciao ciao friend!

As my five year old would say, we didn't like it - we LOVED it! Everything about this tour was amazing. From the very first communication after booking to the quick responses to any questions, I felt like we were in good hands. And then when Alex got down on my kids' level before the tour began and listened to them talk his ear off with everything they've learned about Pompeii, and had a real conversation with this three and five year old, I knew we'd made the right choice.

I loved that he took us to see things that were a little out of the way and avoided the crowds. We never felt rushed or like we were just ticking off boxes like with some other tours. We felt his enthusiasm for the things he was showing us and were able to see some amazing highlights without worrying about losing kids. And when we walked through alone after the tour we were able to recognize and appreciate features Alex had shown us earlier.

We have two super energetic little boys. They adored Alex from the start. They listened to him and stayed interested for a two hour tour. It could not have been better.

The tour is great for adults, too. We would choose Alex again any time. If you want the best Pompeii experience, here it is.

Alex’s enthusiasm for the site really made our visit special. He is very knowledgeable about what it must have been like to live during that time. We were fortunate to have used Alex before and have recommended him to numerous friends who also give hime rave reviews

Just finished a tour of Herculaneum with Alex, his energy and knowledge bring the visit to life. Having been round Pompeii with him in 2019, both his tours have been stand out highlights of our holiday.

He is very knowledgable and lovely person. The descriptions and details he provides of the streets and buildings bring the site to life.

He was fantastic with my sons (7 & 11) and found sights and told stories that appealed to them.

Highly recommended and unmissable

My wife and I did a morning Pompeii tour and afternoon Herculaneum tour with Alex.
We’ve done tours in many different countries and cities (all over France and the US, Prague, London, Barcelona, etc.) and Alex is, without a doubt, the best tour guide I’ve ever had the pleasure to follow. Incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his job, I would recommend spending as much time with him on his tours as you can.
He’ll ask the things that interest you, and make a point to show you them everywhere. The tour is certainly tailored to exactly what interests you and what you want to see.
He can read the Latin inscriptions and explain their meaning (fascinating to me), tell you what life was like for them, and how he comes to those conclusions.
If he sees your eyes linger on anything for a longer time than normal, he makes sure to ask what you see and explain to you as much or as little detail as you want.
Truly an incredible and a fun tour. I could easily come back to the area for several days doing different tours with him.
Wonderful to meet you and spend the day learning from you Alex. Thanks!

Alex is a phenomenal tour guide! He contacted me before our tour day and then provided helpful information about the best train option near to my hotel in Naples. He is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastically recreates a sense of life in Pompeii when it was a thriving city. He pointed out details that I certainly would have missed if I were on my own. Alex was recommended by a friend who also had a tour with him and I am very grateful. I completely recommend Alex for an enriching and lively tour!
