Our tour archeologists Diego made the tour. His knowledge of areas we toured made trip more enjoyable. This tour is not for those that have difficulty walking on uneven surfaces.

The detailed tour of Herculaneum with a slightly more technical perspective from our guide. Plus the private transport to and between both sites, so good!!

The tour was well organized. Diego is an amazing tour guide. Archeologist by trade and story teller by heart. He knows a lot and transports his passion throughout the tour. And seeing those places is incredible. Like of you take a close look at a fresco in one of the many buildings and you see the strokes someone did a looking time ago... You should really see it yourself.

Excellent experience of both historical places to visit, Pompeii and Herculaneum. The drivers were right on time and speaks English well. The archeologist guide, Guilia M. was knowledgeable and friendly pointing out items and structures I would not have known. The audio system was good. In addition, they were noticeably helpful with lost visitors not belonging to our group
