Ancient Pompeii
Joined 2020
This amazing tour of ancient Pompeii will be an extraordinary experience.
The city was covered under ashes and pumice stones during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 and it was abandoned soon after.
In 1748 the king of Naples, Charles III of Bourbon, decided to bring it back to life.
Ancient Pompeii is a jewel that we will disclose slowly starting from the Porta Marina Gate

“Maria provided a great tour!”
I was a bit hesitant to hire Maria from the US without knowing anything about her or the company. However, there was no reason for me to worry. Maria was an amazing guide! Communicated well before the date of the tour. She speaks good english (as well as other languages). She also arranged comfortable transportation. It is evident that she cares about providing a great tour. She is flexible to adapt the tour to what makes it best for you. She's imparts her knowledge of the area, and takes you to places you would not do on your own. I can't say enough good things about Maria. Get the most out of your trip and hire Maria, I do not think you will be disappointed.

Dear Mr Charles, thank you so much for your visit and for all the nice things that you said about me. It is very kind of you. It was quite an experience and I am glad I met you and your lovely family. I hope to meet you again for a fantastic tour of our beautiful land. I wish you all the best. Maria
“Connecting Several Generations of a Family ”
Maria was kind, funny, experienced and a very knowledgeable guide! She took a lot of time planning this tour. She researched and found relatives I haven’t seen in over 40 years and translated conversations with my family since I only speak English and they only speak Italian. Maria spent the whole day with us showing me where my parents used to live in Cantaloupo and Castelpetroso. These are very small towns in the mountains. We had one person in our group who had a food allergy and she found an excellent restaurant that was very accommodating! I would highly recommend Maria as a tour guide! Schedule a tour with Maria you won’t be disappointed!

“Best and kindest guide”
Maria's kindness and efficiency may not let you recall her wonderful discussions of the places we visited. All the while she is patient, smiles, talks to us as friends, and finds ways quickly to solve any bumps in the road. You'll love her just as our group of 14 did!
