“Vincenzo, our guide, was lovely. We were so glad we booked a tour with an archaeologist. He was so knowledgeable and engaging. He took us to parts of the site that had only been open to the public for a few days which was great.”
“Our fantastic archeologist guide - Gianfranco? - was amazing. So extraordinarily knowledgeable and engaging, he brought the site to life for us. Definitely worth having an expert to guide you through the complexity of the city.”
“Amedeo was a very knowledgeable guide and it was wonderful to meet these two cities with him! He spoke clearly, kept a very good pace (balancing well how tired I got and how much we got to see) and was very open to answering other questions at the end of the tour.”“There were 24 of us in the group, which was disappointing as the description stated never more than 20.”GetYourGuide reviews, review summaries and sub-scores, Oct 2026
