We highly recommed Luca as a tour guide. We spent several hours with him guiding us around Pompeii and we loved every minute of it! The time flew by as he showed us so many of Pompeii’s fascinating places. We found Lucca to be friendly, kind and very knowledgeable. His English is great. I arranged the tour ahead of time via email. He was prompt at responding to and answering my many questions! We were so happy with our choice of Luca as our Pompeii guide. He is a great person and the perfect tour guide!
Ten friends that have traveled the world together and have been to Pompei revisited it with Luca . Luca made it the BEST. Taking into consideration that we were older He showed us so much! His love for Pompei made it so interesting. We ALL agree he was the best and want to take him around the world with us! I am a retired tour guide taking people all over the world and I can say Luca was the best. I usually tune out after about 15mins . Not this time! Hope to back with my grandkids. Thank you
100% recommend if anyone is looking for the best tour guide in Naples! 🙂 Can't put into words how grateful we are that Luca was able to spend two days with us! Exceptionally correct communication, on time! We visited Herculaneum + Vesuvius + Pompeii in one day and also had lunch at the Bosco di Medici wine estate. On the second day we went to the island of Capri. Forever grateful that Luca spent time with us, his knowledge of ancient cities is indescribably good, details and interesting facts! Just great! As a person, he is friendly and caring! He has the ability to notice those people around him who are not even part of the group but needed help. He is caring and helpful towards them too! An incredibly nice person! Thank you Luca! 🙂
Luca is an excellent tour guide. With him we visited several villages of the Amalfi Coast and the city of Pompei. Luca not only has a vast and deep knowledge of the places, but he also conveys his passion and love for his hometown and its cultural heritage. Thank you Luca for sharing your time and passion with us - you are the best!
We booked a private tour of Pompeii having been recommended Luca by a friend. We were not disappointed! Luca was super organised, so knowledgeable about Pompeii and really tailored the trip to our group of 4. We had our sons with us so he spent time telling them what wouldn’t have been in their text books and subtly missed out all the roman brothels! What I found excellent was that he knew where to go to maximise our time and avoid the crowds and knew everyone there so we never waited in lines. If we had attempted to visit Pompeii without him or joined a big tour with a headset, we wouldn’t have enjoyed our time there even 10% of what we got out of this tour. He’s worth every penny.
The best guide ever!!! Incredibly interesting … making a visit of 3 hours under 45 degrees worth every second!!!! Thank you Lucca !!! You are unique
I cannot speak more highly of Luca. My friends and I took a tour with him and it was an all around unforgettable experience. Not only did we learn so much about the romans and the city of Pompeii, but we also could not stop smiling and laughing because he had such a great personality and he was such a personable guy. It was so much more than just a tour!
Our private tour to Pompeii was an unforgettable experience for our family. The knowledgeable guide brought the ancient city to life with engaging stories and interactive activities, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. The tour was worth every penny, providing a memorable and educational adventure that we will cherish forever.
