I learnt a lot. I learnt about the Pompeiian way of life, the lifestyles of the wealthy, the slaves and the gladiators. I learnt about the volcanic eruption and why the devastating pyroclastic flow preserved Pompeii. I learnt about infrastructure, pipes, roads, columns and building materials. I learnt about the Roman empire, how they kept an open mind and adopted technologies, systems, culture, philosophy, commerce, art and religion.

Franchessca was a great tour guid , and very knowledgeable. The meeting place was a bit confusing due to other tour guides with green flags. Her English was perfect and she was easy to understand. Grazie Mille

Ilaria, an archaeologist, now tour guide, was a wealth of information! She presented this information with excitement and humor. She is very passionate and proud of the work done in this ancient city of Pompeii. We would recommend doing this 3 hour tour with Ilaria; do not even consider doing it on your own!

This was a great tour! It’s 3 hours which is 1 hour more than most tours I saw online. It was not so busy when we went. The guide said we had gotten lucky.
