Luca gave an outstanding tour of Pompeii for me and my two daughters, ages 13 and 10. He was dynamic, well-paced, and incredibly knowledgeable, but what really set him apart was his energy. He was fun, funny, lively, and genuinely kind, which kept all of us engaged the entire time. He struck the perfect balance between sharing fascinating details and making the experience enjoyable for the kids. It was far better than what we would have gotten from an audio tour or a more standard guide. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Luca to anyone visiting Pompeii.

We loved our day with Luca. He was a great guide for our group of 10. Initially, he suggested several tour options. Once we made our choice from those options, he provided a detailed itinerary accordingly. Everything about our experience with him was top notch. Meeting up with Luca upon disembarking from our cruise ship was very simple. And then having him guide us thoughout the day, made our time so much more enjoyable and stress-free. His knowledge on logistical details (which lines could be skipped, what times were best for each event for efficiency, keeping us on schedule, insuring we were back to the ship on time, etc.) were invaluable. And yet, he maintained schedule flexibility, so we could linger some here and there, when we wanted to. His knowledge of the area and points-of-interest, along with his fun personality and relaxed style, made him a perfect fit for our group. We loved every minute of the tour, and would book him again without hesitation. We reserved several private tour guides during our 21 days around Italy. Luca was our absolute favorite! Thank you Luca!

Luca is wonderful, you couldn’t ask for more information or more fun! He gave us an amazing experience in Pompeii, took us to a terrific restaurant in Sorrento and added a little “surprise” in Capri as well. A fantastic day.
