Leilo was a great guide, very funny and engaging, especially with children. It was quite hot when we went -highly recommend bringing a hat and water.
5Best Tour Guide in all Pompeii
Everyone agreed this was the highlight of our trip. Our guide Lello was absolutely incredible to say the least. It ended up just being our little group of four in his group so we got a private tour of Pompeii. He was so knowledgeable but his personality was what made the tour exceptional. He took us around and we got to see a lot in our time there. I would definitely request him and this tour!
5We went to Pompei two...
We went to Pompei two weeks ago and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was very knowledgable he helped us find the best spots for taking pictures and made sure that we saw all the best of Pompeii. He made recommendations of other things to see when the tour was over and encouraged us to explore on our own. Our guide was the best and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone else coming to Pompeii.
5A Must Do!
Our tour guide was incredible! He had us all laughing, we definitely made a memorable experience for the two boys from London. We learned so much! We are so happy we did the tour!

About Pompeii
Pompeii is a Roman town near Naples frozen in ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, with streets, villas and frescoes preserved beneath the volcano.
Pompeii was a thriving Roman town when Vesuvius buried it under ash and pumice in AD 79. Excavation, begun in the eighteenth century, has uncovered paved streets with stepping stones, shops, bakeries, bathhouses and the forum. The amphitheatre, among the oldest Roman ones to survive, and the grand House of the Faun show the range of life, and plaster casts of the dead record the final moments of some residents.
Top-ranked sights in Pompeii: Pompeii Archaeological Site, Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane), Via dell’Abbondanza.
