    We had a super great day with Eliana at Pompeii. She was professional, extremely well informed and highly educated. She is truly a subject matter expert and could deliver a lecture on any question we came up with! Eliana gave us a great overview of life in pompeii, putting everything in the context of the culture of Pompeii and Rome at the time. Such an amazing place and a great tour made all the difference in our day and understanding of what we were seeing. She paced the 4 hours very well and was super attentive to my husband who has some gait issues. I was so impressed by how kind and empathic she was, carefully guiding him and shooing anyone in his path away to make sure he was safe and secure. She really went above and beyond. I highly recommend Eliana's tours and she was easy to connect and communicate with prior to our designated day. Thank you Eliana!!

    Luciana was our amazing guide and we absolutely adored her!!! She was patiently waiting for us at the meeting point and it was raining really hard. While we waited for the rain to let up, she explained the history of Pompeii to us via the gift shop through images on postcards, learned about Cameos and how they are made, and general cultural information pertaining to Pompeii. We grabbed a coffee and pastries too while we waited. When the rain let up, she got us right into the site and we headed via a back way in. She showed us amazing things that I didn’t see on a previous visit. She was careful where she took us due to my elderly parents but we never felt like we missed anything. On the contrary, she got us into areas that would have been hard to see without her expertise and status. A lovely and very knowledgeable person!

    Parfait was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable. We would have liked a bit more room for the 8 passengers. We enjoyed the tours.

    It was well worth paying for a private guided tour of a corner of Pompei. Luciana was very knowledgeable as a working archaeologist at the site. She was able to give us real insights into how the residents lived and the research, such as the use of plaster casts to preserve the shapes of long-gone wooden items and people under the solidified ash, and how our understanding of how many people lived in the town and when the eruption happened have changed over time. We only spent two hours but it was hot and there's lots of walking so that was plenty for us. We could have stayed longer and explored more if we'd wanted to do so. There's only time to visit a small area of the site, and Luciana knew the best houses to show us with well-preserved wall paintings while dodging the cruise ship crowds. We would have got a lot less out of our Pompei trip without our guide.
